I love how you say "free", and yet it is a STUDIO feature! really nice of you!

[eraism]

Pro Tip: If you make subtitled vertical content often and don't want to have to customize the subtitles to look the same, you can click the three dots in the inspector tab near the top right, and save the captions as a preset/default. Now when you create the captions and choose "default captions" your saved style will populate

The processing behind this is fantastic. I have a pretty low quality sound recording of an interview of an old man (in his 80s) with a very pronounced broad (UK West-country) accent talking about his WW1 service as a stretcher-bearer. The interviewer found it hard to understand his answers, and kept asking for him to clarify and to repeat things. The transcript shows that DV had "understood" it all first time, and almost perfectly. It even managed obscure English and Italian country place names with surprising accuracy. And the speed with which it does it is just unbelievable.

'The detail when you said, "something awesome going on in the background"

I'm a big fan, you're such a great resource. Thanks for everything!

[jacobpander]

Best walkthrough I've seen so far! Thanks for the detail on burning in the subtitles.

Immersive translate has been generating my subtitles for free over the last couple of months. It has been working perfectly and i cannot complain.

[CamCitizenTV]

Excellent video! I knew about the new subtitle feature, but didn't know it could be customized like this! This is a game-changer for my short videos. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[O_media]

Something awesome happening in the background there.... Nice IYKYK.

[unlockthepicture]

That's an amazing feature. This makes using subtitles on YouTube so much easier

[darrenlesage]

Sweet. That makes shorts so much easier! I used the basic subtitle for a video I did a couple of weeks ago. Worked great, but I didn't think about using it for YT Shorts! Timesaver!

[JoshMiles]

Hey @dunnadidit I'm a little late to this video, but thanks for this tutorial! Their caption feature is borderline magical. I was creating multiple social stories within the same project and was so delighted that the subsequent timelines inherited all of the preferences I created for the first captions, typeface, color, size, and everything! I'll be using the feature all the time. Thanks again!

[SebKrafts]

Amazing. Answered every question I had about this. Thank You.

[pattyboi]

Absolutely huge moves from Resolve, I think I'm finally ready to switch from Premiere with this addition 🎉

[tmfs.official]

"Something awesome is happening in the background" I see what you did there ahaha

[Jakereviewsall]

Super easy, I need to add subs to a couple of platforms I upload to and this will make that much easier to start.

[CitizenZero]

This is awesome. My previous method was to upload the video to YouTube and generate the SRT file there, then download it and send it along with the video to clients. This is easier and the recognition is better. Thanks!

[AllThingsFilm]

Excellent tutorial. You went into more details than other videos I've seen on this feature. Well done!

[ckhicks]

Man, this is game changing, thanks for the demo!

[EncounterCaneCorso]

That was so incredibly helpful. Had no idea how to add subtitles. Thank you!

[TurboPersonalTraining]

exactly what i was looking for thank you!
