The caption + export checklist (platform-proof your delivery)

Great edit, wrong export = client redo. Run these before final render.

— Captions burned in, not just an SRT (most feeds mute by default)
— Font readable on a phone — test at arm's length
— Captions inside safe zone, clear of the bottom UI bar
— Export 1080x1920, H.264, under platform size cap
— 30fps unless brief says otherwise
— Loudness around -14 LUFS for social
— One clean copy with NO captions if brief asks

Standardize your export preset and save it. Run this list every delivery. Rinse and repeat.
