2. Best practices

We recommend:

• Using short sentences, bullet points, or fragments to highlight key ideas.
• Letting the voiceover tell the full story to avoid overwhelming viewers.
• Choosing sans serif fonts for screen readability.
• Useing serif fonts sparingly and only for emphasis in large text.
