Cutting vertical video that reads with the sound off
Captions, pacing and contrast for the feeds where nobody turns the sound on.

Most people watch vertical video muted. Your type has to do the talking.
Pace the words, not the clips
Give each line of copy enough time to read twice. Cut the footage around the words, not the other way round.
Keep contrast high
Put type on the calmest part of the frame and use Focus to soften what sits behind it.
