The Cut page now has the same subtitle support as the Edit page, including the automatic Create Subtitles from Audio feature. For more information on how to use subtitles, see Chapter 52, “Subtitles and Closed Captioning.”


To Add a Subtitle Track in the Cut Timeline:

— Click on the Timeline Actions icon.

— Select Add Subtitle Track from the drop-down menu.


Subtitle Tracks can be minimized in the Cut page to give more room for Audio and Video tracks by clicking on the Timeline Options icon, and selecting Minimize Subtitle Track.

Create Subtitles from Audio (Studio Version Only)

You can automatically create subtitles from your timeline’s audio tracks by using the DaVinci Resolve Neural engine to analyze the speech, and automatically turn it into text subtitles. For more information on automatic subtitling, see Chapter 52, “Subtitles and Closed Captioning.”


To Automatically Detect and Create Captions from Timeline Audio:

— Open the timeline with the video and audio clips you want to caption.

— Select the Timeline Actions icon and choose Create Subtitles from Audio from the drop-down menu.


Source Tape Editing

While all the features of the Cut page can be used individually, certain features are designed to be used in conjunction with each other to make your editing experience more streamlined. For example, combining the File Inspector, Source Tape, Metadata View, and the Navigable Folder Structure can create a well structured and organized project out of a single folder of unorganized clips.
