DaVinci Sub Editor is a subtitle editing and AI translation tool built for DaVinci Resolve.

It lets you browse and edit subtitles on the active timeline, search for specific terms, batch find and replace repeated text, and translate subtitles into other languages directly inside Resolve. You can keep subtitle editing, proofreading, and translation in one workflow without repeatedly switching to external tools.

What problem does it solve?

Long-form interviews, courses, documentaries, and multilingual deliverables often require subtitle proofreading, terminology cleanup, and multiple language versions.

When subtitle content is spread across many clips, manual line-by-line editing is slow and easy to miss. Translating the subtitles can add another layer of copying, switching tools, and reformatting.

DaVinci Sub Editor brings subtitle editing, search, batch replacement, and AI translation into one focused workflow inside DaVinci Resolve.

Core features

• Browse and edit the whole subtitle track
  Review and edit subtitle content from the active timeline in one place.

• Search and jump to specific lines
  Find terminology, names, brands, or place names quickly and jump directly to the entries that need review.

• Batch find and replace
  Normalize repeated text across the subtitle track without editing every clip individually.

• Built-in AI subtitle translation
  Translate subtitles from a source language into a target language directly inside the plugin.

• Multiple translation providers
  Choose between Microsoft, GLM, OpenAI, and other available translation services based on your project and network conditions.

• OpenAI-compatible model support
  Connect models that use the OpenAI API format and customize system prompts to control translation style, terminology, and output requirements.
