To achieve maximum accessibility, we create subtitles to reach people with hearing impairments and people who speak other languages.
If possible, flexible digital subtitles that are superimposed on the video by the player, such as YouTube, are preferred.
In order to reach as large an audience as possible, we recommend translating subtitles into the relevant market languages.
If, for technical reasons, subtitles must be permanently burned into the video, an Adobe Premiere template is available.
When using a lower-thirds banner, the subtitles are moved up to ensure readability.
For more elaborate storytelling and to emphasize certain information, the variable motion font can be used to animate the text. We recommend using this with care to avoid wearing out the effect too quickly.
Note: To achieve smooth animation, please use the optimized version for motion design of the variable font.
To create even more depth, text can be placed behind objects.
This applies primarily to composite graphics, where objects can be placed and animated specifically in the layout.
Build up color solids or additional elements according to the central perspective.
