Hi,

 

I've finished my first animation -- and I am ready for my Acadamy Award for having come this far -- and exported it as a template into Premier Pro. When I put it into my movie's Timeline, my lower-thirds were TINY. I realize now, I've been looking at my composition at 200% Now I'm trying to figure out what to do about it. 

 

The compostion is 720x480 (0.91). 

My text is 72 points -- and I was thinking it was too big. 

 

Can I just scale up the composition as a whole and re-save it as a template or will I have to make it all over again? 

My animation really is just a simple text graphic, but I just so very proud that did it. And this is the last piece before I finish my first YouTube video and I'm am just so irritated/frutrated at this very moment. 

 

Thank you,

720x480 is the old SD NTSC standard for TV but actually is an obsolete format. What you can do is to set the size of your composition to 1920x1080 and then modify the size and position of your text to match the actual appereance. You can open the AE project savec inside de MOGRT file but also you can create a new MOGRT file with the new setup.
