1 Use captions and subtitles

Captions and subtitles are essential for making your animated video accessible to people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speak a different language. They also help people who have trouble following the audio or prefer to read along. You can use online tools or platforms to generate captions and subtitles automatically, but make sure to review and edit them for accuracy, clarity, and timing. You can also customize the font, size, color, and position of your captions and subtitles to make them readable and consistent with your video style.

Subtitles play an important role in accessibility and inclusivity in making videos. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing can access and comprehend the audiovisual content without barriers. And subtitles don't just benefit the deaf and hard of hearing; they cater to a diverse audience, including those with different linguistic backgrounds, learning disabilities, or those who prefer reading along with audio. I strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone can engage with the material equally, fostering a sense of belonging and understanding for all viewers.

L'utilisation de légendes et sous-titres dans les vidéos animées est cruciale pour l'accessibilité et l'inclusivité. Cela garantit que tout le monde, y compris les personnes sourdes, malentendantes ou non-natives de la langue de la vidéo, peut profiter pleinement du contenu. Une vérification manuelle pour l'exactitude et l'ajustement stylistique est essentielle pour une expérience utilisateur optimale.

2 Choose colors and contrasts carefully

Colors and contrasts are important elements of your animated video, but they can also affect how people perceive and process your visuals. Some people have color vision deficiencies or low vision, which means they may not see or distinguish certain colors or shades. To make your animated video more accessible and inclusive, you should avoid using colors that are too similar, too bright, or too dark. You should also use high contrast between your foreground and background, and between your text and graphics. You can use online tools or platforms to check the color contrast and accessibility of your video.

I prioritise the use of colours and contrasts to enhance accessibility and inclusivity. It can captivate attention and maintain readability for individuals with colour vision deficiencies. High contrast between text and background allows for better legibility, accommodating those with low vision or colourblindness. I avoid relying solely on colour to convey important information, using multiple visual cues like patterns, shapes, or text to ensure clarity regardless of colour perception. It all helps to welcome and understand diverse audiences, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can engage with the content comfortably and equally.

3 Provide audio descriptions and transcripts

Audio descriptions and transcripts are another way to make your animated video accessible to people who are blind, have low vision, or have cognitive impairments. Audio descriptions are narrations that describe the visual elements of your video, such as the characters, actions, settings, and transitions. Transcripts are written versions of the audio content of your video, including the dialogue, sound effects, and music. You can use online tools or platforms to create audio descriptions and transcripts, but make sure to review and edit them for accuracy, completeness, and quality. You can also offer different options for your viewers to access your audio descriptions and transcripts, such as on-screen, off-screen, or downloadable.

4 Consider diversity and representation

Diversity and representation are not only about accessibility and inclusivity, but also about creativity and authenticity. When you create your animated video, you should consider how you portray your characters, stories, cultures, and values. You should avoid stereotypes, biases, and discrimination, and instead embrace diversity, inclusion, and respect. You should also seek feedback and input from people who belong to the groups or communities you represent in your video, and acknowledge their contributions and perspectives. By considering diversity and representation, you can make your animated video more relevant, relatable, and respectful for your audience.

5 Test and evaluate your video

The final best practice for ensuring accessibility and inclusivity in your animated video is to test and evaluate your video before you publish or share it. You should test your video with different devices, browsers, platforms, and settings, and check how it performs and displays. You should also evaluate your video with different audiences, especially those who have different abilities, backgrounds, preferences, and needs. You should ask for feedback and suggestions on how to improve your video's accessibility and inclusivity, and make the necessary changes and adjustments. By testing and evaluating your video, you can ensure that your video meets the standards and expectations of your audience.

Providing audio descriptions and offering a detailed narration of visual elements, actions, and scenes is helpful. Multiple language options through captions or voiceovers allow a broader audience to engage with the content, catering to individuals who prefer or require different languages. Optimising video player controls for easy navigation and compatibility with screen readers aids those with disabilities in manoeuvring through the content. Consider adjustable playback speeds and customisable display settings. You can also include a sign language interpreter to the right of the video. It works wonders!
