Caption Titler

Build styled, animated Text+ captions from subtitles using your own title template.

Pick a Fusion title template from the Media Pool and an SRT file or the timeline subtitle track. Caption Titler places one Text+ clip per line with your template, its animation included, timed exactly to the subtitles.

What it does for you

  • Styled, animated captions for social, from any subtitle file.
  • Uses your own Fusion title template, so every caption matches your look.
  • One Text+ clip per line, timed to the frame.

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, please report it on GitHub or by email.
