Subtitle Creator

Turn Text+ clips into a real Resolve subtitle track and an SRT file.

Scan the Text+ clips on your timeline and create a native subtitle track from them, plus an SRT file for YouTube and other platforms. Timing comes straight from the clips.

What it does for you

  • Turns the Text+ clips you already typed into a real subtitle track.
  • Saves an SRT file for YouTube, Vimeo or a client.
  • Timing is taken from the clips, frame accurate.

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 in DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 on Windows 11. The script also runs on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon); if anything does not work on your Mac, email support and you get a fix or a refund.

Overlapping clips are merged so subtitles never overlap.
