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.
- All five tools are also available separately.
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.
