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 is being built to produce Arabic SRT files that make the Resolve subtitle import predictable from the first check.

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 is being designed to flag RTL subtitle requirements in the generated Arabic output — covering text direction, punctuation placement, and line structure — so DaVinci Resolve editors can configure the subtitle style correctly before the colour pass rather than discovering layout issues at the Deliver page.

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, join the waitlist and we'll notify you when support is live.
