Urdu captions for DaVinci Resolve

Urdu captions in DaVinci Resolve

Why editors are looking for Urdu subtitles

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

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