Thank you for your reply, Retracer.
I'm not going to watch the video again to report which of the caption durations were to short. Try that rule of thumb that you should be able to read the captions three times. I'd make that read aloud three times.
Some captions were up for such a short time, and/or in not in a usual place onscreen, that I couldn't be sure there had been a caption.
Watching a video shouldn't be an exercise in exact-moment hitting pause and then going back to an earlier spot in the file and then resuming play. Believe me, that level of interactivity distracts from the video.
If the scenery is important, consider "freezing" the play by repeating the frame with the caption for as long as it reasonably takes to read the caption at last twice.
