@quintus_8906,

 

I think the answer is no.

 

If you haven't edited them for content, spelling, etc, just delete and redo. If you have, I would not delete them. Just create a new track. Then select all the captions on the old track and move them a little so you can see both captions as a guide to editing them.

 

The only tempting workaround, if you were just burning them in and not exporting srt, etc, would be to upgrade to graphic. then change the bouding box to resize. But the timings might not be the same as redoing the captions creation.
