Thanks - simple question, simple answer. Too many of these channels talk for half an hour and sometimes never even get to what I want to know. This was easy and quick.

Straight to the point and covers exactly what you need to know. Great tutorial, thanks!

Thanks David. Appreciate the detail and how to align. Just subscribed.

Nice and concise. Note- if you dont have a flattened (ie only 1 video line) project timeline, it will try to overwrite your V2 video track, so create a Subtitle Video Track and it will go in there without overwriting V2 or higher video track.

what format does the time code need in the srt file?
is 00:00 enough, or de we need 00:00:00:00 in the srt file?

Thank you for the guide. I have a Mac and unable to open and import the srt file into da Vinci. What should I do?

[PerpetualNoob]

Thank you for this informative video. I also hope Blackmagic updates Resolve to dynamically size that background box. That'd be an incredible and time-saving feature. :)

Hi David. Thanks for posting this. I'm trying this in DaVinci Resolve but I don't get the option to Add a Subtitle Track, only 1. Delete Track, 2. Delete Empty Tracks or 3. Add Track. No other option. I've got the .srt file imported and ready to go. I've updated to the latest version. Is this available only in the paid version?

Thank you so much man, you helped me out!!!

One question please, if I upload the Srt-File in Davinci Resolve ( 15) some simbols like quote mark (" ") or accent ( ú ) or apostroph ( ' ) are not recognized. May do you have an idea how to fix this ? Thanks.

Is this the Studio version? I have Free and don't have "subtitle track" as an option when I right-click it. Just 'Add track"
