DaVinci TTS is a Text-to-Speech (TTS) plugin built directly into DaVinci Resolve Studio.

It converts manually entered text or captions from the active timeline into speech, then adds the generated audio to the DaVinci Resolve Media Pool and timeline. You can create and manage voice content inside your editing workflow without repeatedly switching between Resolve and external voiceover tools.

Supported TTS providers

DaVinci TTS supports multiple voice services:

  • Microsoft Azure TTS
  • MiniMax TTS
  • OpenAI TTS

Choose a provider based on the voice, language, network conditions, and requirements of your project. Available voices and adjustment parameters may vary between providers.

Core features

  • Text-to-speech generation
    Convert written text into spoken audio for narration, voiceover previews, and video production.

  • Captions to voice
    Automatically read captions from the active timeline and convert the subtitle text into voice segments.

  • Voice parameter controls
    Adjust voice, speech rate, pitch, volume, and available style intensity controls based on the selected TTS provider.

  • Pause insertion
    Add natural pauses with the dedicated Pause button to improve the rhythm between sentences, paragraphs, and shots.

  • Automatic Media Pool and timeline insertion
    Generated audio is added to the DaVinci Resolve Media Pool and inserted into the active timeline for further editing.
