Well I’ll be honest I thought that was pretty unlikely when I threw that in the mix. > Since I don't intend to use my voice in my videos, I "voice" them via text > elements either in the center of the screen or some other places where it > makes sense to do so.

For example stuff like Pulp Fiction: Intonation <https://youtu.be/h2m_Z8CWdXI>, derivative graphics work by Jarett Moody (slightly NSFW, language) Apple has also been playing around with the style since 2016, mostly in promo campaigns for non-traditional channels. Don’t Blink <https://twitter.com/Apple/status/773604633008680964> You say it’s not very efficient using your video editor (I assume something along the lines of Avid, PPro, FCPX/Motion), but I don’t think FFmpeg is the right tool for the job, unless you had some really complex ass subtitles already, using a bunch of v4+ features of the script and you just need to burn it into the video. > Maybe subtitles in the future, but I sort of already know how to do those, > however the first point would be good to know. I think you want subtitles with heavy custom styling, maybe as opposed to captions like you would do in scenarist, try Aegisub <http://www.aegisub.org/> with newer ASS versions.
