Subtitle strips risk jaws, collars, and gradients beneath them
Route `subtitle-text-overlay` applies when no subtitle track exists. Faces and shallow depth-of-field backgrounds are fragile. Prefer source files without burn-in for localization. If you must inpaint, watch temporal consistency across frames. For education, ensure information remains accessible after visuals change.
Suggested steps for subtitle-text-overlay
- Source a captionless master before manual removal.
- Check skin tones and gradients for banding after the bar is gone.
- Color-match neighboring shots if this is an edit timeline.
