Resolve Text Toolkit

Five practical subtitle and Text+ workflows for the active Resolve timeline.

Replace SRT text, change fonts, duplicate title templates, create native subtitles, and generate styled Text+ captions without rebuilding the timeline by hand.

What it does for you

  • Subtitle Creator turns rough Text+ clips into a real subtitle track and an SRT for YouTube.
  • Caption Titler builds styled Text+ captions from subtitles using your own Fusion template, one clip per line.
  • SRT Replacer swaps a translated SRT into the same caption clips, keeping style and timing.
  • Font Changer switches every caption to another font in one go, for languages like Japanese.
  • Template Duplicator moves every caption onto a new template without retyping.

Requirements

  • DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1 or newer (the free version of Resolve blocks script windows).
  • Windows 10/11 and macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon and Intel). One file works on both.
  • Install: copy the .lua file into Resolve's Scripts/Utility folder, then open it from Workspace > Scripts.
  • Tested on Windows 11 with Resolve Studio 21.1 and on macOS 15 (script code paths). Email support if anything breaks.
