Generate and correct
Drop the video into suubbs and press Generate. Fix the names and the jargon, then export SubRip (.srt).
Transcribe locally, export SubRip, import it onto the Edit page timeline. Only a text file moves between the two applications.
Resolve imports SubRip directly and puts it on its own timeline track.
Transcribe in suubbs, correct the handful of words the model got wrong, export SubRip, and import it into Resolve. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is re-encoded.
Drop the video into suubbs and press Generate. Fix the names and the jargon, then export SubRip (.srt).
From the Edit page, import the .srt. It arrives as a subtitle track, laid out on the timeline by its own timestamps.
Select the track and set font, size, colour, position and background. Resolve owns the look from here — the file only carried the words and the timings.
This surprises people every time, so it is worth being direct about it.
SubRip is text and timings. Whatever you styled in suubbs — colour, typeface, position, the word-level highlight — is discarded the moment you export SRT, because the format has nowhere to record it. That is not a Resolve problem or a suubbs problem; it is the format.
You have two routes if appearance matters:
ffmpeg -i render.mp4 -vf "subtitles=captions.ass" -c:a copy final.mp4Including where each application's job ends.
File ▸ Import ▸ Subtitle. The imported file arrives as a subtitle track on the Edit page timeline.
The Studio version has audio transcription built in. The free version's support is more limited, which is one reason people generate the file elsewhere and import it.
Yes, in the Inspector — font, size, colour, position and background all apply to the subtitle track. That styling is Resolve's, not the file's; SRT carries none of it.
Not through SRT — the format cannot express it. Export SubStation Alpha (.ass) from suubbs and burn it in with ffmpeg after you render, or rebuild the effect with Resolve's own text tools.
No. suubbs transcribes on your machine, so only the subtitle file moves between the two applications.
