What Caption Studio does
Starts from Resolve

Free Resolve and Studio. With Resolve Studio it works on its own. With the free DaVinci Resolve you click Workspace > Scripts > Caption Studio once to send your timeline and once to place the captions.
It captions the timeline you are working on. Each caption lands where the words are spoken, as normal Resolve titles you can still edit.
Want captions on any video file, without Resolve? That is Caption Gen.
Caption Studio is an independent tool from Taalvo. It is not made by or affiliated with Blackmagic Design.
