SW Video SW Forums VLOG: On the Mountain, In the Snow, "FIRST RIDE" (now with full captions & effects)

SnoWest Forums: "On the Mountain, In the Snow".
Season 2, Episode 1. "FIRST RIDE"
Long ride checking out the general snow conditions in Island Park and West Yellowstone for the 24/25 season.

Soooo
Several hundred of you saw the original video I posted of this late saturday night.

Following the video I made a couple "Shorts" from it and added captions to them.
Over the course of Sunday I got a pile of comments letting me know that members liked the Captions and thought the entire video would benefit from them.

So I went back through the entire video, added captions, highlights, popouts and a few simple sound effects.
Would really like to know if YOU think all of that makes a difference to the end result?

Is it more interesting / entertaining to watch with the added text and effects, or not??
AND..
As a matter of personal preference, would you prefer that I REMOVE all wind noise, or leave just a little bit for environmental effect??

So
Captions or No Captions?

I personally like the captions and effects within reason.
A bit of wind is fine as long as it doesn't interfere with the person speaking.
Looks like a lot of work though!

Thanks!
The short reels I am making from this video with the captions have been very well received.

I like the captions, a little background noise is fine.

Calling for 8 to 12 inches in IP by Sunday.
Should be good to go if that pans out.
