Plan captions for short-form video

Plan the captions for this short-form video.

1. **The muted test.** Read the captions alone, without the visuals. Does the video still work? *Most short-form is watched with sound off, so this is the primary requirement, not an accessibility extra.* Say where it fails.
2. Caption text per beat — not a transcript. Condense; spoken and read pace differ.
3. Timing: when each appears and disappears. Captions that lag the audio are worse than none.
4. **Safe area** — keep captions clear of the top and bottom bands where the platform puts its own interface, and clear of the right side where the action buttons sit. Give the placement as a proportion of the frame.
5. Emphasis — which words carry the beat, since everything emphasized means nothing is.
6. Where a caption should stay on screen longer than the line, because it is the point.

Then:
- The first three seconds specifically: what appears before anyone has decided to keep watching.
- Where the caption duplicates what is visible and can be cut. Redundant captions cost attention.
- Whether any caption is too long to read in the time it is up. Give the reading time.

Rules:
- Do not caption every word. Condense to what carries meaning.
- No text over faces or over the action.
- Keep line length short; a line that wraps to three lines covers the video.
