DaVinci Whisper is an AI subtitle generator built for DaVinci Resolve.

It automatically transcribes video or audio into subtitles, supports more than 90 languages, and provides a local Whisper model option. You can generate subtitles, adjust subtitle formatting, and optionally use GPT-based AI correction within the DaVinci Resolve workflow.

What problem does it solve?

Creating subtitles for long-form interviews, courses, podcasts, and documentaries can require hours of manual transcription and cleanup.

DaVinci Whisper brings speech transcription, subtitle generation, and text refinement into one tool. Run Whisper locally for transcription, then optionally use AI correction to improve punctuation, sentence breaks, and subtitle readability.

Core features

  • Support for 90+ languages
    Generate automatic subtitles for content in a wide range of languages, making the tool suitable for multilingual production and international delivery.

  • Local Whisper model
    Use a Whisper model locally on your computer. With local transcription enabled, your audio can be processed without uploading the media to an external transcription service.

  • Optional GPT-based AI correction
    Use GPT-style models to refine the transcription and improve punctuation, line breaks, and subtitle readability.

  • Custom keywords
    Add names, brands, technical terms, and project-specific vocabulary to improve recognition of important words.

    Set the maximum subtitle line length to match your video layout and reading rhythm.

  • Reduce subtitle gaps

  • Designed for DaVinci Resolve workflows
    Generate and organize subtitles inside your editing workflow with less exporting and switching between separate tools.

Local transcription and AI correction
