<p>I'm trying to make my subtitles scale one word at a time, but I'm running into an issue with the whole line shifting. Is there a way I can scale a word, and make the other words not move sue to the scale effect? Here is the ASS File</p>

You can split text to 2 lines: `Dialogue: 0,0:00:0.00,0:00:02.50,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an5\pos(50,14)\fscx90\fscy90\t(0,2500,\fscx120\fscy120)}And`
`Dialogue: 0,0:00:0.00,0:00:02.50,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an5\pos(200,23)} so my fellow Americans,`. Change \pos() values to fit. Why PlayResX PlayResY is not 720 1280?

This is a good idea, but measuring the text is very tricky.  Any suggestions for how to accurately measure the letters, and spaces to match where it naturally goes?  The PlayResX and PlayResY are being set by stable-ts, which is generating the ass file.  Maybe these are just defaults, but you're right, I will update to the input video.
