Quality concerns aside, I've always disliked having text on the top and bottom of the screen simultaneously. My eyes are focused on the bottom of the screen, so I sometimes don't even realize that there's text at the top and have to pause/rewind to figure out what I missed.
I think putting both speakers' captions at the bottom with some kind of differentiator makes more sense.
- braiamp 1y agoThe top one is usually a background speaker, and not the focus of the scene. It is extremely rare that directors do that anyways.
