DASHES AND POSITIONING
– For center placed pop-on captions, all speaker changes should be identified by a dash and space at the beginning of the caption.
Example with two speakers:
– Hello, nice to meet you.
My name is Laura.
– Laura, the pleasure’s mine.
How are you?
– Fine, thank you.
For speaker placed pop-on captions, the captions will be positioned left, right, or center, depending on where the speaker is located on screen to indicate who is speaking, with no dashes to indicate a change of speaker unless two people speak within one caption.
Any two-speaker captions, for center placed or speaker placed, should be center-placed and aligned left.
