Hi, I have a YouTube channel with a few local history videos. I posted a new one the other day, and a guy emailed me asking about subtitles.
I assumed that YouTube automatically added them and they were wonderful. Not the case, so I'm adding subs to my films.
I'd like to know what people find easiest to read. For example, a longer sentence split logically into 2 lines and on the screen for a decent length of time, or shorter sentences split into lines but on the screen for slightly less time?
Plus what do people feel about describing sounds? I've added a couple of comments where I think it's appropriate, but I don't want to overdo it.
Also, should I add sound descriptions, what is the common format please?
I should have known better as I'm deaf in one ear since birth and use subs occasionally!!
