Hello my fellow travel vloggers.. I could really use some feedback
Okay so here is my problem, for my last 20-30 vlogs or so, I use custom captions throughout my entire video. (Auto captions and then I go back and clean them up)
I do this because in my videos I love to talk to locals and have conversations. That’s a big part of my travel vlogs. But for example, when in Africa, some people speak with an accent that is hard to understand, and I fear my audience won’t know what they are saying. Even my auto captions mistake what they say at times.
Therefore I use caption and listen to what they say carefully, and fix the errors. Now what is the problem you might say? Well, doing this makes editing take 2-3 times longer.
I want to be consistent and post a new video everyday. I am capable of doing so, but editing has always gotten me caught up.
My request is that you maybe watch a few minutes of my video and tell me whether or not the caption are necessary. If not, I would like to do always with them entirely and focus on just cutting my videos up with the good parts, rather than spending so much time on caption. I also just started to do short talks/podcasts. Please ignore those videos and only look at my travel vlogs. As I don’t use caption when it’s just me talking to the camera for the entire video.
I’m assuming I don’t need to caption my videos, but also, I would like to get feedback from you guys before making this decision.
If you do decide to help me out, I would gladly appreciate it. Thanks guys 🙏
