Pro Tip: If you make subtitled vertical content often and don't want to have to customize the subtitles to look the same, you can click the three dots in the inspector tab near the top right, and save the captions as a preset/default. Now when you create the captions and choose "default captions" your saved style will populate
The processing behind this is fantastic. I have a pretty low quality sound recording of an interview of an old man (in his 80s) with a very pronounced broad (UK West-country) accent talking about his WW1 service as a stretcher-bearer. The interviewer found it hard to understand his answers, and kept asking for him to clarify and to repeat things. The transcript shows that DV had "understood" it all first time, and almost perfectly. It even managed obscure English and Italian country place names with surprising accuracy. And the speed with which it does it is just unbelievable.
@@pacifiky no, I use 18.5 (the one in public beta), and I tried to use the feature; and it is a studio feature (i. e. A paid version that costs hundreds of dollars)
Well, considering that prior to saying that he said that he paid thousands over the years for subtitles, my assumption is that to ‘him’ it’s now essentially free. He most likely has had the studio version for years. The title also states that it’s the studio version, not the free one.
Yeah I've been so confused because there's so many videos describing how to do this and it's a feature I don't have. Wasting my time by not mentioning it right away @@WebGuyRises
Excellent video! I knew about the new subtitle feature, but didn't know it could be customized like this! This is a game-changer for my short videos. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!! I bought Da Vinci Resolve specifically to do this,. but hadn't got round to trying yet. Your videos are so helpful, clear and to the point. I appreciate you, Dunna!
This is awesome. My previous method was to upload the video to TH-cam and generate the SRT file there, then download it and send it along with the video to clients. This is easier and the recognition is better. Thanks!
Sweet. That makes shorts so much easier! I used the basic subtitle for a video I did a couple of weeks ago. Worked great, but I didn't think about using it for YT Shorts! Timesaver!
Hey @dunnadidit I'm a little late to this video, but thanks for this tutorial! Their caption feature is borderline magical. I was creating multiple social stories within the same project and was so delighted that the subsequent timelines inherited all of the preferences I created for the first captions, typeface, color, size, and everything! I'll be using the feature all the time. Thanks again!
4:43 Is there a way to export the subtitles without formatting. You mention this at that timestamp, but it still breaks it apart. I would like a long sentence or paragraph with no timestamps. Thank you.
Great video. Do you know how I'd go about burning in some of the subtitles (ie. where the voice is unclear) and also exporting an srt file (that didn't contain text where the voice is unclear (so they don't lay on top of each other))
This question has been bothering me for a long time. When I change the speed of a video, the corresponding subtitles fail to adjust accordingly, resulting in subtitles being out of sync with the video. This issue is especially problematic for long videos, such as one-hour clips. After speeding them up, it’s impossible to manually adjust every single subtitle. In Final Cut Pro, synchronizing changes seems to work perfectly. I’ve also tried putting the video and subtitles into a compound clip, but it still doesn’t work. Am I doing something wrong, or is this simply not possible in DaVinci Resolve Studio?
You can generate the whole timeline, highlight all the subtitles, press D to disable them all, then just highlight the one you want to enable and hit D again!
Love your 'indignant' intro where now you (Dunna) no longer have to pay for a subtitles service! Ah, you crack me up, man! 🤣 Say, you're a few days late to this happy-party but, I gotta tell you, I ALWAYS look for your videos because you include the not-so-obvious tips that are the most important to make these new features perform in the real world. EG, your tip to fix "6 to 35" and make it "6-35." I'll be needing that little know-how every day! And there are about 12 more examples I could name in this 7-minute vid. Thank you❗
Haha thanks for the kind words! I kinda suck at getting out videos with the release of new exciting features or products… but I think it’s because I like to include those extra pieces and they take time to learn!
Thanks man ! This is so so useful. I think it's not beta anymore though? The latest 18.5 is official, not beta, cause I don't see that anymore when i download.
Is there a way that you can transcribe a video and then once you have the text you can delete parts and that Da Vinci will then trim the video for you by removing these parts? So if you want to remove a faulty sentence or uhm and ahms?
3:26 when you said something is going on in the background... What is going on in your background lol? what is your pc doing? or just a hidden effect for the viewers who put attention to it lol :)
I’m very new so please excuse a possible dumb question can you upload subtitle file in the TH-cam upload setting in render ? I don’t have this 18.5 but in 18 it has a subtitle sub setting, I think you answered this but I wanted to double check my understanding
Hey Knit (I'm just going to pretend like thats your first name). Subtitles and being able to customize and export them isn't actually anything new to DVR, just the auto generation of the subtitles itself. As far as I'm aware, there's no way to specify whether you want subtitles or not when uploading straight to youtube... I don't actually know whether that means it includes the subtitles in your timeline or if it excludes them. I generally do things all separate.
Have you found any reliable way to convert the caption track into separate TEXT tracks? I'd love the ability to add animations to them, customize them more as Text+, etc. Thanks for the great video!
Unfortunately, I haven’t really, there are a couple out there, but the best way I’ve found is to manually create text+ underneath by reading the subtitle track. It speeds the whole process up, but it still could be better.
I have a little workaround for Mac. File>export>subtitle>choose without formatting. Open in text edit, select all, transform to uppercase. Save and drag back into the project and overwrite the auto subtitles. It takes about 45 seconds altogether for me. Hope that helps!
Love the subtitle feature but what is irritating is not being able to burn the subtitles into the video when exporting to the TH-cam format on projects I require more compression
Dumb question, what if i want to put an image or pop up on top of a caption? it seems like they are on their own layer and cant be placed under other video layers
I wonder if there's a way to add emoji's for that "Hormozi" style? There's some pretty cool AI tools that make awesome subtitles but I would rather it just be directly in the editing software so I hope that is or will be a thing in the near future!
It seems that DVR is able to create subtitles with translation to other languages from English. I know, it is not supposed to, it is not indicated in the user manual but IT WORKS. I have made the test by selecting "french" in the "Create subtile from audio" window and it works pretty well. But the opposite doesn't work. If the audio is in french and i i select "English" as a language, that doesn't work. Any idea why?
I got an rtf file which I changed the file type to .srt by just changing the name and it imported to davinci but it wont drag to the timeline. any ideas?
after i finish installing resolve, the program won't even start up. I've come to the conclusion that it's because my laptop only has 8GB ram, which appears to be less than required for resolve 18.5 to run. are there other versions of resolve that i can run with 8GB ram that also has the auto captioning feature? thanks
I've heard that this is only for studio only - can someone please confirm nor deny if that statement is true because id LOVE to start using davinci haha
i absolutely despise the this whole manual subtitle push. there's already closed captions autogenerated. i cant stand when im watching something and there constant text flying around taking away from the VIDEO im trying to WATCH, not read.
I hear you, I think it's a bit of a polarizing thing. I personally like the touch of nice text on the screen instead of just the ugly(and often inaccurate) auto captions. But I know that's not the preference for everyone.
@@dunnadidit forsure! I totally get personal preference and choice on how people want to or do not want to present their videos, but I take issue with the videos that do not, being then affected adversely as far as views and impression strength. It's saying do this or suffer views because we will push the channels that do.
It does kind of feel that way for sure. However the question is… WHO is saying “do this or suffer views”? Because when you think about it, IG YT TT and all the social media platforms couldn’t care less whether you have captions or not, they just push the most popular types of content and the content that “works” to more people. So really, what you’re fighting against is human nature. Enough people have unintentionally decided that they like on screen text that it caused the algorithm to respond. So in the end, this is the same dilemma as has always plagued any kind of art… do you make what “works” or do you make what you want?
@@dunnadidit I'm saying because I have been seeing videos in the TH-cam studio dashboard with titles that say "you're losing views" and it goes onto say how your videos will get pushed more if the content system recognizes manual subtitles in videos and over using the CC. Does anyone actually want these subtitles like this across entire videos or is that just what the focus group said? 🤔
This is probably true. I will try to keep that in mind and disclose for future videos. I sometimes forget because I've had the studio version since like 3 days after trying the free version.

So happy it helped! Thanks for watching and for the super!
Best walkthrough I've seen so far! Thanks for the detail on burning in the subtitles.

I watched alot of editing videos and you have the best videos. The color grade on your videos is really nice.
Amazing. Answered every question I had about this. Thank You.
Something awesome happening in the background there.... Nice IYKYK.
Love the built in subtitles, but still a few things they need to add like find and replace, the ability to key frame and stylize individual words.
Absolutely huge moves from Resolve, I think I'm finally ready to switch from Premiere with this addition 🎉
Thank you so much for watching! I don't mean to pressure you but you should absolutely switch.
i believe they recently added it in premiere as well but if that's the only reason to rent software then absolutely switch 😂

You are awesome brother❤
Thanks so much!
Awesome Tut. Thanks a lot!
Amazing! This changes everything. Question, do you have to be using the studio version already? And a follow-up, what about the iPad version of DR?
I do believe this is a studio only feature. Unfortunately I haven’t tried it on the iPad version.

Characters per second

This answered my questions. Thanks.
SCC is closed captions and that is different that SRT subtitles .
