Editing from a transcript

DaVinci Resolve Studio can transcribe your clips automatically and let you edit from the text. For interviews, documentary and any dialogue-heavy project, it replaces scrubbing through hours of rushes with reading and selecting.

What the video covers

  • Selecting clips and running Audio Transcription to generate a transcript
  • Searching the transcript for keywords and correcting any mistakes
  • Exporting the transcript as a text file
  • Selecting a passage of text and having the matching range marked in the source viewer
  • Inserting or appending that section straight into the timeline, or making a subclip
  • Generating subtitles for the finished timeline with Create Subtitles from Audio

Fourteen languages are supported, including English, Chinese and Korean. Note that transcription is a Studio-only feature — it isn't in the free version of DaVinci Resolve. See DaVinci Resolve Studio →
