Resolve-Caption-Flow helps video editors create accurate subtitles for long videos. It uses smart language models to check your text and links to your own documents to ensure names and technical terms appear correctly. The tool uses FFmpeg to handle your media files and works directly with DaVinci Resolve to help you finish your projects.
Your computer needs to meet these basic standards to run the software smoothly:
- Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit).
- Processor: An Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor from the last three years.
- Memory: 16 GB of RAM is recommended for long video files.
- Storage: 5 GB of free disk space for the application and temporary files.
- Software: DaVinci Resolve must be installed on your computer.
Follow these steps to set up the application on your Windows computer:

- Once the download finishes, find the file in your Downloads folder.
- Double-click the file to start the installation.

- Upload a text file or a PDF containing your project glossary, character names, or specific industry terms.

This tool creates files that DaVinci Resolve understands. Once you finish your proofreading, follow these steps to move your subtitles into your editing timeline:
- Click the "Export" button in the application.
- Choose "DaVinci Resolve (.srt)" as your format.
- Save the file to your project folder.
- Open DaVinci Resolve and go to your project.

Does the software work without an internet connection? Yes. All media processing occurs locally on your machine. Your files and data remain on your hard drive, ensuring total privacy.
Why does the software take time to process long files? Transcription requires significant computing power. The application uses a local language model to ensure high accuracy without sending your data to external servers. This hardware-intensive process creates the high-quality results required for professional post-production.
Can I change the subtitle style? While this application focuses on text accuracy and timing, you can customize the appearance of the subtitles, such as font, size, and color, within the Text+ or Subtitle inspector tabs inside DaVinci Resolve.
What do I do if the application crashes? Ensure you have the latest version of Windows installed. If the problem continues, restart your computer and check that no other software is using high amounts of your computer's memory while the transcription runs.
How do I update the software? When a new version becomes available, revisit the releases page, download the new installer, and run it. The new version will automatically replace the old one while keeping your settings intact.
