How attractive are burn-in subtitles in a time where accessibility is so important? Aren't closed captions more attractive for most clients?

Depending on the final use of the subtitles both open and closed captions can be suitable. When looking at Accessibility close captions are always recommended, but if subtitles are just used from a language perspective they are a great solution for clients that do not have budget to have Voiceover production. This is quite common for Internal training content where they will localise the content on screen and then include subtitles burn-it alongside to make sure this can be used across several locations!
