a newbie question - Texts, titles, etc are not scaled when compressing 4K to FHD

Post by kowaikimoi »

Description of problem or question:
Hi,

I am new to video editing and I don't even know the correct terms to check what the issue is.

I have a bunch of .mp4 files in UHD/4K for mat which I created using DaVinci Resolve. The video contains scrolling titles, fusion effects, etc.

When I tried to reduce the video resolution to FHD using HandBrake, the actual video is compressed fine but the scrolling texts and titles don't
seem to get scaled down so appear larger relative to the video versus the original version.

I know that I can just re-export my DaVinci Resolve projects at FHD resolution but I would like to understand why this is the case.

I don't understand how on screen texts and effects are added to the video (layers?) so I don't know where to start to resolve my issues.

How can I compress my video including the on scree texts/effects?

Thanks.


Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):




HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.6.1 (2023012300)



Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 11

You probably have autocrop enabled, disable it if it's cropping things that don't have to be cropped.

OK, I can only seem to set the scaling on the preview screen - when I do the output is rendered correctly.

Where can I set this scaling to "none" on the main screen? I can't seem to find this setting under any of the tabs.

Thanks.
