Shorten an opening caption

Opening text should fit the visual beat it accompanies. A technically readable sentence can still ask too much of a viewer who is also following movement.

Put it into practice

Split the sentence into subject, action, and qualification. Keep the first two in the opening and move necessary detail to the next beat.

Worked example · illustrative

What this looks like

Instead of a paragraph about travel clutter, start with Find the adapter without unpacking. Explain the pocket layout in the demonstration.

Before you move on

Can you read the whole opening comfortably before the shot changes?

Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.

A repeatable workflow

  1. Read the caption at phone size.
  2. Remove repeated spoken information.
  3. Check the final exported video with sound on and off.
