How I Learned to Create Better Subtitles (And You Can Too) 🎬

Last week, I spent hours subtitling a video for my YouTube channel. ☕ As I sat there, coffee in hand, staring at my screen at 2 AM, I couldn’t help but think about how far I’ve come in my subtitling journey. Three years ago, I would have just thrown some auto-generated captions on my videos and called it a day. Now? Well, that’s a different story entirely.

I remember the exact moment that changed everything. ✨ It was a chilly evening, and I was scrolling through my video comments when I received a message from a viewer named Sarah: “I’m hard of hearing, and your subtitles made it so easy to follow along. Thank you!” That simple comment hit me hard. I realized that my subtitles weren’t just an SEO tool or a nice-to-have feature – they were someone’s gateway to enjoying my content.
