How should i adjust the font "height"?

[vanessa._.]

Hello.

I had been using an open caption for my videos and it was working fine till today,

the caption font style had become "shorter" thus making the caption on the video look so weird.

I've googled on how to solve this but couldn't find.. I even tried to use scale width and it kinda works for me BUT it still cut the texts. 😕 and i tried to find font weight but couldn't find it....  

I've attached the screenshot and you could see the caption... I had export the video and open in the new project but it is still the same... TT__TT

Btw, I would appreciate if anyone could answer it quickly as I need to finish this video by TODAYY...

Your Y Scale is set to 93.4%. Change that back to 100% and see if it solves your issue.

I've tried that but it is still same..

but when it kinda "refuse" to change to 100% and still stick with 93.4%

Till now, I still can't figure what is wrong ..... -__-

If you set your squence to 1920x1080 par 1.0 font might display normal height.

The 1440 options with the caption stream set to the same (1.33) do not appear to work. The caption font is stretched horizontally, as if it is being interpreted as square pixels and then conformed to the sequence.

Try Ann's suggestion. Or a variation: I created a 1920x1080 square pixels and caption stream to match. Then nested that in the 1080x1440 sequence. The captions are correct, although I am not sure if there is any subtle difference in size etc. But they are not stretched.

So I'd call this a bug in how the anamorphic caption stream is being treated.

I had followed Anna's suggestion but it is still the same??

If you set your sequence to 1920x1080 so should your captions.

[eikonoklastes]

The X/Y values are not the size or scale of your font. They are the position of your caption relative to the caption frame.

You are using a non-square pixel aspect ratio in your sequence (1.33), and the captions seem to be unable to adjust to that.

Even when creating a caption with a matching PAR, it shows up distorted in the sequence. This is possibly a bug, and you might have to work around this by copying and pasting your captions into a square PAR sequence and export them from there.

but the first person above said to change the y & x , that is why i was wondering till now why it does't work at all

That setting looks odd, but it was not a problem; that is the "regular" value for the lowest vertical position of the whole caption block on the screen. It does not affect the font.

Adding to what eikonoklastes said, there is a limit to  how "low" you can position a caption. So 93.4% is probably it. In any event, that is not your problem.

Could you post a screenshot of your effect controls panel for the caption stream on this timeline?

What specific dot version of PR?

[vanessa._.]

this is the effect control..

i had checked my video file size, it is 1440x1080 and also caption size is 1440x1080...

i need to change video size to 1980 then the subtitle will be fine?

I think you mean 1920. That's a good question: Ann, are you saying the 1440x1080 1.33 can just be edited in a 1920x1080 sequence? It looks okay to me, but I never did work with anamorphic much.

Hiroko, you must be working with a caption stream that is 1920x1080 square pixels. No matter how I try it, if the caption stream is 1.33, it is stretched horizontally. I think this is a bug. It looks okay if I place it in a 1920x1080 sequence and then nest that. Ann's method will be simpler, because the captions will be editable in your main sequence.

No that is not what I am saying: all needs to be the same, 1920x1080.

[Stan Jones]

"All" needs to be the same is tripping me up. I assume his footage is 1440x1080 1.33. But I see that is never specifically stated. I just assumed it was because why else create a caption stream at 1440?

But I seem to have skipped one test in what I was looking at: if the caption stream is 1920x1080 Square, it works fine in a 1440x1080 1.33 sequence (or, of course, a 1920x1080 one). So I didn't need to create problems with "nested" sequences.

So this question is probably moot, but I'm curious. How does he edit 1440x1080 1.33 in a 1920x1080? When I put a 1440x1080 1.33 clip with no interpretation/modification on a 1920x1080 square sequence, it looks "right."

[Ann Bens]

I just tested it with 1.33 footage

If the sequence and captions are 1.33 you get squished text.

If you change the sequence to 1920x1080 par 1.0 and modify the captions to 1920x1080 par 1.0 the text looks normal.

Thanks!

Premiere automatically sets it to the correct height and width.

1440x1080 1,33 have non square pixels and has a frame aspect of 16:9

(1440x1080 with par 1.0 will show as 4:3)

wow thank you ann for the photo guidance!

i will try that and see whether it will work .

by the way, i should always set it par 1.0 regardless of the video size?

thank you ann and stan for helping me!! really appreciate!
