If you need to deliver both a 16x9 version and then a 1x1 version for social media (SnapChat, Facebook, etc.), then I would do all the color in 16x9 with a separate titles layer, then once color is locked, save the project and then save-as a new version identified as 1x1. Change the delivery aspect ratio accordingly and reframe the shots and titles as necessary.
What's surprising is even on some fairly big Hollywood trailers, they don't seem to do a lot of pan/scan for the 1x1 ads. The titles very definitely are sized for that format, but not everything else. Maybe this will change, but I think at the moment it's a time & money thing.
