When creating captions:
- Stop inserting hard returns in captions. Give us a choice of selecting either balancing ragged lines (y’all have this code in InDesign) or inserting soft returns
- Let me choose triple lines (useful on square or tall videos)
- Let me set the font, size, color on creation and then save them as a preset. I never ever under any circunstances want captions in Minion 48, yet that is inexplicably the default.
- Set a highlight color for following along with captions. There are free video editors that offer this. And then give me a choice of two effects:
- Follow words as spoken: This highlights the currrent word being uttered
- Karaoke effect: This crawls across the words as spoken, lingers on long words, and leaves uttered words highlighted
See attached for how revised dialog should look.
