Pro Tips

Contrast is king: Ensure text is readable on any background. Use thick strokes or background boxes on busy backgrounds.
Mobile first: 90% of viewers watch on mobile. Make captions large enough to read on small screens.
Don’t overdo animations: Flashy animations are fun but can distract from content. Use sparingly.

​
