How to Add Dutch Subtitles in DaVinci Resolve
Dutch builds compound words like German and borrows English freely, so a caption tool has to keep long words readable and get the loanwords right. Caption Pro transcribes your timeline with Whisper AI and lets you review the text before anything is placed.
High accuracy, occasional line breaks help with compounds.

Whisper transcribes Dutch with high accuracy. Dutch forms compounds, though usually shorter than German ones, so occasional smart line breaks keep captions tidy. Dutch also mixes in a lot of English, and the review step lets you confirm those borrowed words before captions are placed, changing only the line you edit.
Dutch is written in Latin script with the occasional diaeresis (as in coördinatie) and the ij digraph. These render with standard Unicode fonts, so the Text+ templates already in your DaVinci Resolve project display Dutch without setup. Montserrat, Inter, and Poppins cover the character set.
This suits Dutch YouTube for the Netherlands and Belgium, short-form vertical video, tutorials, and client delivery. You can also transcribe in another language and translate into Dutch, or start from Dutch and translate the captions into 100+ languages.
