Hello all 
You use present simple (not present continuous) for captions or legends -text that accompany photos in publications or on websites. However I wonder which tense I could use in the following situation. Please, see the picture included.
In the picture there is the word "includes" which is a stative one. However, if I changed the context and wrote :
- This video is showing/shows .......whatever.....
Could I use both present simple and present continuous? I don´t know which one to prefer as you are more likely to use present simple for captions or legends under videos but at the same time if I were describing what is happening in the picture - I should use present continuous. But I don´t really know which category this one belongs to.
Thank you.
