Resizing Titles to Match Changed Aspect Ratio
I’m sure someone has asked this before, but I couldn’t find a good answer anywhere…
I’ve been working on a project in the wrong aspect ratio. I’ve gone from 1920×1080 to 2560×1440.
Is there a way to change the aspect ratio of my legacy titles? Or do I have to do everything all over again? Someone suggested “scale to frame” but doesn’t that degrade the quality of the titles?

Short answer: nope. Have to redo them.
Might want to get used to the new Ess Graphic as the Legacy will be gone one day.

Yeah, this will be last I use it. 🙁
I’m actually doing subtitles, so I’m thinking there’s got to be a way to save hours of time.
Instead of changing the aspect ratio and redoing every title, would it be fine if I simply increased the font size of the text in the title menu (not the scale). Then, simply changing the position of one subtitle and then pasting its attribute to every remaining subtitle.
Then, it wouldn’t degrade the quality of the text, right?

I’d suggest the Open Captions in the future for subtitling. They are such a better solution, and allow way more global editing of things like font size and positioning. Fewer options overall, but for any lengthy subtitling, it works really well.
The solution you propose will be an issue if any of the text lines gets large enough to go beyond the borders of the 1080p size. Otherwise, there’s no reason it wouldn’t work.

The font size is going from 45 to 55 so there aren’t major border issues.
And yeah, I’m definitely doing the caption option next time!

Couldn’t you nest your title track at 1920 then bring it in as a layer in the 2560 and just use Set To Frame Size?

Wouldn’t that degrade the overall quality of the font?

Well, try it and then tell us. I don’t know what fonts you used or what sizes and some will hold up better than others. If the titles are all locked down this is what I’d try first.
