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.
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.

A feature-packed upgrade
Built from early-access feedback. Here's what's new in Captions Master V2.
01 Trendy ready-made styles
Modern stack styles — Clean Rise, Bold Pop, Scale Burst, Two-Line Accent — plus side-by-side layouts that put words on one line, not a plain vertical stack.
02 Styles that adapt to your words
Presets are now letter-aware — spacing and sizing adjust so nothing overlaps or runs off-frame, whether the word is “I” or “extraordinary.”
03 Font-pairing looks
Pro display-plus-supporting combos (Oswald + Poppins, Abril + Montserrat…) with modern motion and side-by-side arrangements.
04 Motion blur on animations
One checkbox gives slides, spins and pops that smooth, high-end movement feel.
05 A modern animation set
Rise, Focus In, Pop Spring, Glide Left/Right, Settle — clean, trendy reveals — plus batch-apply across a whole line and canvas-driven animation.
06 A default look you set once
“Set as default” captures your position, font and color so every new caption follows it. Save named styles and switch instantly.
07 Precise canvas placement
Zoom & pan, your actual timeline frame behind the canvas, social safe zones and center guides — and a preview that matches Resolve's render far more closely.
08 Smoother, bigger control
Move groups of words live with no lag, and scale captions all the way up to 5×.
09 Built for real timelines
Generate just the In/Out range, edit & replace generated captions, re-read timing when you trim, and get color-coded, auto-named clips on your timeline.
Plus: font fallback so missing fonts never break a caption, clearer setup guidance, session hardening, and Windows + macOS (Apple Silicon) builds.
Installation Guide
How to install the Captions Master Plugin
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!
