> The baseline assumption that captions and subtitles should obscure the video is also odd to me - it's a hangover from analogue displays and title-safe ares with overscan. With the abundance of pixels we have now, rendering the captions or subtitles in a separate screenspace that doesn't obscure the action seems hugely preferable, and would mitigate the composition issues. @kevinmarks-b Testing with the audience has shown that in limited cases they do prefer subtitles outside the video, particularly when the video is embedded in a bigger page and is relatively small. In general though the audience does prefer subtitles super-imposed over the video. I speculate that smaller eye movements are easier and result in less of the video content being missed during the eye movement. -- GitHub Notification of comment by nigelmegitt Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/media-and-entertainment/issues/4#issuecomment-397616871 using your GitHub account
