How to check video text at phone size

Judge titles and captions at a realistic viewing size instead of only on a large monitor.

Start with a clear direction

Play the file on a phone or a small preview, read each title once at normal speed and inspect contrast over changing backgrounds.

Put it into your edit

Open the downloaded MP4 alongside your brief. Watch the whole video, then return to the moment you want to improve. Turn that observation into a specific revision request.

An instruction to make your own

Use this direction for my video: Play the file on a phone or a small preview, read each title once at normal speed and inspect contrast over changing backgrounds. If text is hard to read, shorten the wording, simplify the treatment or request more screen time.

Check the detail that matters

Keep the next change focused

Name the moment, say what should change and describe what you want to keep. For a title, supply the replacement words. For pacing, identify the shot that needs more or less time. Play the surrounding sequence after the revision to hear and see how the change fits.
