Back in Chapter 6, we looked at the difference between subtitles and captions:
- Subtitles are manually added text overlays that become part of the video file. These can be generated (and edited!) through Canva’s Subtitles app. When you download a video with subtitles, the subtitles are embedded, ensuring they are visible on any device or platform where the video is played.
