    If you are on Resolve, you could compound your titles and then use the "blend” analysis option. In Baselight you could apply a single analysis strip on all the shots that contain lower thirds. This would treat all those shots as if they were a single one. This way, all titles would render to the same level but potentially at the price of a pleasing mapping.
    Or, you could leave the lower thirds out of the analysis. This way the text pixels are not included in the metadata analysis, only the video track pixels are used. The mapping is applied to the final composite image (image background and text).
    If you leave the subtitles out from analysis, you can adjust them individually (in HDR) and check the mapping immediately without having to decompose and compound. You can adjust each title element individually so that it is rendered to a specific video level in SDR. However, you should then also check how these lower thirds (adjusted in HDR) are rendered on other targets, such as 600 nit and/or 300 nit HDR.
