Arabic captions for DaVinci Resolve

Arabic captions in DaVinci Resolve

Why editors are looking for Arabic subtitles

DaVinci Resolve's Edit page includes a subtitle track that accepts imported SRT files, but Arabic subtitles need right-to-left direction configured at the subtitle style level before the project delivers correctly. Editors who miss this setting during the Edit page pass often find the issue at the Deliver page — after colour grade is locked. CaptionX for DaVinci Resolve transcribes Arabic speech and adds the captions to your timeline, with no SRT file to prepare first.

In DaVinci Resolve, subtitle clips display text in the direction set by the subtitle style. For Arabic, the subtitle style needs RTL direction configured so punctuation anchors correctly and lines read naturally from right to left. This is a per-project setup step that's easy to miss on projects where Arabic is an additional language track rather than the primary.

CaptionX for DaVinci Resolve transcribes Arabic speech on our servers and shows you the transcript before anything is placed, so a wrong word is fixed once. It then adds the captions to your timeline as animated titles you can still edit, or as plain editable text. It works in the free version of DaVinci Resolve and is available now on Windows.

This page is for creators who want automatic Arabic captions, styled subtitles, and a clean export-ready workflow in DaVinci Resolve. If that matches your workflow, download CaptionX for DaVinci Resolve above.
