This is great! Thank you as always, Alex! One thing I'd add is that if you set your in and out, Resolve will only create subtitles in that section, so for your section at 10:00, you could just lock the track, set your in and out to your gap, and run it again, and it would only do the section you had selected. I would just make sure you set your in and out a little extra wide since it can cut off the first or last one a bit.

Definitely agree with your suggestions. I do so much work with subs for vertical content, and while this is a great feature, it's nearly useless currently for my workflow and needs. Really hope they improve the F out of this, but I'm so happy they've added it!

Just in time as I was editing a video today where I speak in a broad yorkshire dialect! Auto generated captions always seem to struggle with my accent but this was 99% spot on! Davinci Resolve is proper crackin'.

Just tested it out and did a nearly perfect job with only 2 typos in a 5 minute video. It even detected some strange words completely correctly. The conversion took 20 seconds - so it saved me a huge amount of time.

This is a Great Leap Forward for DR with auto captions and the transcription/edit capabilities. I thing you hit the nail on the head with options/customization. But for a start - rock solid. 👍👍👍

[BlackArroToons]

Good to hear, thank you for the information on subtitles generated and exported directly in the software. Cool.

Just switched to Davinci Resolve Studio, now watching all of your channel. @MrAlexTech Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.🙏
One thing I couldn't find on your channel which might be an interesting video for all people switching now to Davinci Resolve:

"How to import projects from FinalCut/Premiere/Vegas into Davinci Resolve PROPERLY" (without losing links)

I know I can export/import XML timeline, but Davinci Resolve then unlinks video and audio and splits stereo to dual mono tracks. Which makes it hard to finish an existing project switching to DR.

Class vid Alex.. Happy bank Holiday...

_Finally_ found someone demonstrating that yes, we can export the subtitles to a file, as opposed to baking them into the video. Very important for us non-native English speakers, who want to give our viewers the option of seeing non-auto generated subtitles. IE. _not_ the auto generated continuously 'flowing' velotype stuff, often used for hard-of-hearing people in some parts of the world. (Special notice to native English speakers: This use case is _extremely_ common in non-English speaking countries. Which happens to be most of the world.)

Thanks Alex. 👍

Just commenting for maximum algorithmic YouTube visibility goodness. 😅

[DocuLearnTM]

Just what I needed :D
I have just started producing short documentaries using davinci resolve, but sometimes my english pronounciation is a bit hard to understand :')
I will for sure implement subtitles on my future videos :)

[todoaleman]

Awesome video, Alex! I was wondering whether you could share the name of the font you are using for the subtitles throughout this video. They looked quite nice!

[NoobsCreations]

Once we get KEY frames and more customizations it will be game changing.

[IcelandAdventures]

awesome.. and the end part about burning them in was the eye opener for me... I watched half and rendered them and then lol wondered where they went ! so had to go back and watch the rest.. thanks again Alex !

[njobarainnocent]

Nice and detail clip. Was so helpful. Good Job. Am using studio 18.6 much new features and works well. Thanks

[FishingwithZnM]

Mr. Alex, Thank you for everything you do! Missed the burning them into the video when I did my first export with captions... thank you for pointing that out as I missed / skipped over it. You Rock!!

[JeromeLove]

For sure having the option to right click on a specific audio track to do subtitles and select a color or it would pull what ever color the respective track is would be awesome. That would help with multi track videos and make things on click if it could be set in the project settings. Also, I'm sure this is something they are more than likely working on but having subtitles auto format to a Text+ or "convert on completion" would make things even better! Glad to see BlackMagic adding these features!

[YamilSunRay]

Awesome feature. One can fix the thing with multiple people just by recording on two channels, I guess. Muting one channel, running auto subs, locking it and then doing the same with the other one. I think that's the way to go with Podcasts or Rode mics. Just an idea until further updates. Love this feature, tho. and German is already working.

[brothernimishcoelho]

I would like to point out that DaVinci adds a hyphen at the beginning of the phrase when the speaker changes, so it actually does detect a change in the person who is speaking, but doesnt label the people. At least it worked like that for me.

[AAvfx]

Thank you for all your tutorials. Keep up the great work.

[Lele-eldios]

FYI, just checked and Italian and a bunch of other languages (including AUTO) are in there (18.5 b5) already :)
Also, a 3:14 minutes video took about 4 minutes to generate subtitles on a Macbook Pro 13" M1 2020 model at Analysis speed roaming around 4.0-5.0x
There's also styling added, so now you can have Netflix style and Teletext style subs

[chrisalman-equipfp]

definitely would like to see the animated subtitles in the finished version!🤞
