  • Captions are essential for accessibility and retention on mute
  • Font choice should align with the brand's personality
  • Text hierarchy (size/boldness) guides the viewer's focus

ON-SCREEN TEXT
(CAPTION)
[1. caption everything] this ensures that every single viewer will understand the concept of your video even when watching on mute
[on-screen text]
[00:06]
TALENT
The first thing that you're gonna know is that you're gonna caption everything. It makes your content accessible, engaging and keeps people watching even if they're scrolling without the sound on.
[00:15]
ON-SCREEN TEXT
(CAPTION)
[2. finding the right font] LIKE THIS
[on-screen text]
[00:15]
TALENT
If you're using big chunky lettering, keep one-two words on screen at any time. This keeps it punchy, obvious to read and easy to follow.
[00:22]
ON-SCREEN TEXT
(CAPTION)
[2. finding the right font] just like this where it's all very small and adorable
[on-screen text]
[00:22]
TALENT
But what if you wanna do cute, small, lowercase, adorable fonts? Then I would always suggest keeping fuller sentences on screen longer so that your viewers actually have a chance to read and keep up with what you're saying.
[00:33]

[2. finding the right font] whatever font you chose must feel like you, but still remain readable & clear.

Basically, your font choice should align with what you actually visually enjoy.
[00:38]
But it also has to make sense. It has to be readable, because otherwise we're gonna make our viewers scroll and that is what we're trying to avoid.
[00:45]
[3. font psychology] And what do we need to know about the psychology of fonts?
[00:48]
And no, I'm not a designer, but this is what I know, this is my opinion.
[00:51]
ON-SCREEN TEXT
(CAPTION)
CLEAR SANS SERIF FONTS FEEL PROFESSIONAL AND MODERN.
[on-screen text]
[00:55]
(CAPTION)
HANDWRITTEN FONTS LIKE CALLIGRAPHY FEELS PERSONAL AND ALSO CUTESY.
[on-screen text]
[00:58]
TALENT
Heavy, bold fonts will always feel quite loud and energetic.
[01:02]
But the most important thing that I want you to know is that you don't have to be tied to one font forever.
[01:07]
I have changed exactly the visual style of my edit very slowly over time, only because my style and my skills are adapting as time.

So you don't have to feel forced to keep the same font over and over again.

[4. the text hierarchy] And not all text should look the same either.
[01:20]
Your main point or heading should be the biggest and boldest.
[01:23]
Wanna make it obvious for your viewer why they should continue watching.
[01:27]
It's nice for supporting text or context points to look smaller so that it doesn't take up too much space on screen.
[01:33]
And when you wanna emphasise a specific word, make it a different colour, give it a background, make it come in with a slight animation or just make it bigger and bolder.
[01:41]
Because the visual hierarchy tells your audience what to actually focus on.
[01:45]
[5. avoid or improve] And literally because I want you to succeed, I want you to get this and feel clear.

TALENT
Here are some things that I would avoid or improve on.
[01:52]
Text that's too small to read on a phone, captions that aren't in line with when you're actually saying them, or if they disappear before you can actually read them, ensuring that your text actually stands out against the background wherever you're filming.
INT./EXT. — CTA
Encourages engagement and directs viewers to a waitlist for further learning.
[02:04]
TALENT
And please do not over animate every single word.
[02:08]
Because something comforting to know, sometimes static text is way more powerful than text that constantly bounces in and out.
[02:14]
So yes, your captions and your text should feel like they actually belong in your video, mold with your personality and actually feel enjoyable to watch.
[02:25]
And I will see you in episode 4!

what do you think? 2026 is the year of wanting to hold something real. slow down. document things properly. and it made me realise how much of what we create just disappears. right back into the lifecycle of thinking about tomorrows post! which brings me to why i believe we should allllll be creating more physical momentos of our creations: hobbies, business.. life. SO WE DON’T FORGET !!!!! all originally inspired by mr.raylon 💗 go get creating on @canva my gorgeous friends! #videoeditor #creativity #analog #canvapartner
