  • Best way to include caption text in a video

    Good Day guys,

    I’ve noticed a lot of facebook videos (such as BuzzFeed and others) have been including caption text in their videos, focusing on the most prominent things people say as the video plays. I believe they are doing this because the majority of users who let videos autoplay do not put on the sound and determine the information from the video based on the visuals and nothing else (that and they don’t want their boss or people in the library to know what they are doing on their phones at the time).

    Is there an quick and easy way to implement this into existing videos, maybe software that they use that makes it as simple as typing and getting effects on the video, or do I have to painstakingly do it right some NLE software (like premiere pro or after effects) and scale, position, style, crossfade one by one?

    Any assistance in this regards would be most appreciated. Also, any best practices by those who are doing it already would be welcomed as well.
