Workflows comparison
Speed, or control?
Manual workflow
Slow
You have full control, but adding and adapting Text+ and macros will make a project take a lot longer. (And then you burn out...)
AI caption tools
Super fast
Fast, but you still have to go back and tell it what to do for each specific section, and then you spend time fighting with it to get the look you want.
Captions Master
Fast + in control
While it is not as fast as with AI, (improving speed is in the roadmap) it is a workflow that is 10x faster, without losing the control of a manual workflow.
Installation Guide
How to install the Captions Master Plugin
How it works
From captions to finished look all in one window.
First, generate your captions with DaVinci Resolve Studio's built-in subtitle feature (Create Subtitles from Audio). Captions Master reads those captions in — you never retype a word.
Start from your captions
Resolve generates the subtitle track; Captions Master loads every line, ready to style. No transcribing, no copy-paste.
Stylize & animate
Set fonts, colors, emphasis and position. Drop words onto their own layers, pick a layout preset, add an animation. Save the look to reuse on every project.
Generate in one click
Hit Generate and the whole clip's captions become fully styled, animated Text+ clips on your timeline, ready to play.
What you get
One tool for your whole captions workflow.
One interface
Captioning means bouncing between the Edit page, Fusion, and a pile of browser tabs.
Everything — style, layout, animation, output — lives in one panel. You never leave the tool.
No retyping
You already transcribed the whole video. Retyping every word into a title? No thanks.
It reads the captions already on your timeline. Your words stay exactly as they are.
Style & save
Restyling every caption from scratch, every project, is where the hours disappear.
Style per word or line — fonts, colors, emphasis, position — then save the look and reuse it forever.
Layout presets
Figuring out a clean layout for 2 words vs 6, over and over, gets old fast.
Dozens of built-in layouts + font pairs per line count. Save your own, import, export.
Animations
Hand-keyframing a caption animation for every word is nobody's idea of fun.
Built-in animation packs, or build your own — then save, import and export across projects.
Custom macros
Got a signature Text+ look you built in Fusion? You shouldn't have to rebuild it here.
Import your own Fusion macros and apply them to any caption in one click.
Customization
Animate and build layouts faster than ever.
Keep full control of your animations
Apply built-in animations like Slide, Pop, Blur and Zoom per word — in and out. You can even build on top of the existing ones or build your own, group them into packs, and import or export them between projects.
Layouts & font pairs, saved
Pick from dozens of layout presets, tuned to how many words are on screen. Save your favourites and carry them between edits. More coming soon!
