Question about subtitles

SimmerBoi · January 2019

Why do most machinima makers put subtitles as youtube captions, instead of editing them in the video? Isn't that easier? Or is it just me?

I prefer putting the subtitles in the video edit. The text is easier to read that way.

I think this way it's also easier to edit the video. You can see right away if a sequence is too short for a long subtitle, or viceversa.

I have to add them on the video, because I use Simlish. I need the subtitles also outside Youtube. I want to be able to watch my work even if Youtube changes or disappears.

But, I also use subtitles to edit the length of a scene. When knowing what needs to be said in the scene, it is easy to see how long the scene must be. It's easier start with dialogs rather than with the images.
