summary

Explains the practical rules: choose closed vs open captions, keep lines around 32 characters per line for online video, and time breaks to speaker pauses. Shows tools that actually work: amira.org (can overlay captions on public YouTube), Subtitle Edit (PC), Camtasia, Adobe Premiere Pro/ Rush and Final Cut for burned or sidecar captions. Notes common file extensions (.crt, .vtt, .srt), problems with automated captions, and how social media pushes creators toward open captions.
