I originally intended to read the spontaneous human combustion story aloud in a video. But - as you’ll see - I got exasperated by how long speaking takes. Text is a much more efficient way to deliver dense information. To make my initial footage useful, I thought I’d show you a feature in Captions.ai (one of the alternatives to CapCut I’m still exploring). They have AI-generated templates to make videos dynamic. I applied one here, without further alteration. Personally, I don’t like it at all for my video. There’s too much whooshing and colorful distraction. It gives me oversaturated YouTube tutorial vibes. But I can see how a template like this could be useful and convenient for a different type of video. In the comments, I’ll also share the plain video with simple captions only for comparison. Let me know if you want to see more of these feature explorations in apps.

The original with simple captions for comparison. Much better than the AI-generated edits, in my opinion.

I watched the first video and I felt "wow, this is so cool. I love this edit." Then I watch this second one and I think I'm going to have to agree with you this is better 😅 I love the simplicity of it. Also, I talk slowly too cos I tend to speak gibberish whenever I'm too excited over talking about something. I love hearing you speak though, you sound like "I'm really cool, you should listen to me." Commanding attention without putting a force behind it.

I’m glad the contrast was helpful to see. It’s been a very new experience for me speaking on video like this. But seems like a good skill to have in these times. I find it easier to speak to people directly because I can see their expressions for feedback, versus just staring at my phone.
