Is it possible to change the size of subtitle text from an SRT file in FFmpeg
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
Is it possible to change the size of the subtitle text (SRT) automatically? If the text is too long the font size becomes smaller to be able to show the whole text on the screen.
In my case, the SRT file contains only one text and I want to burn it into the intro video as a title or information given about the video. Sometimes the title is a long text that goes out of the video's screen size. I wonder if there are any approaches to show a long text within the video's screen size automatically?
This is an example of such SRT file's content that I want to burn on the intro video.
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
TITLE
Information about the video goes here
and sometimes it is too long and goes out
of the video's screen size while using
a big font sizes like 40 or 50.

It’s my understanding that unless the text is burned into the video, the subtitle text is controlled by the player that plays back the video. So not clear if this is even possible.

Figure out what's the max length acceptable to you and edit the SRT to have no lines longer than that.

No, it's not possible. SRT files carry no styling information related to fond size; it's up to the player to decide the size when displaying the subtitles.
You could (or should) make sure that the subtitles do not exceed a certain length by using a subtitle editor. This also improves accessibility for your subtitles.
Another alternative would be to use subtitles that support styling like SSA/ASS subtitles. You need proper container support though if you want to play them as soft subtitles (e.g. MKV), and your player also needs to support it (see e.g. supported subtitle formats in VLC). You could also burn them into the video if you need compatibility with other formats.
Aegisub is a subtitle editor with lots of features.
