Pashto captions for DaVinci Resolve

Pashto captions in DaVinci Resolve

Why editors are looking for Pashto subtitles

DaVinci Resolve's Edit page includes a subtitle track that accepts imported SRT files, but Pashto 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 Pashto 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 Pashto, 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 Pashto is an additional language track rather than the primary.

CaptionX is being designed to flag RTL subtitle requirements in the generated Pashto 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.
