How to Add Italian Subtitles in DaVinci Resolve
Italian is spoken fast, with vowels running into the next word, and that pace is where automatic captions tend to smear. Caption Pro transcribes your timeline with Whisper AI and gives you the transcript to review before anything is placed, so the quick bits stay accurate.
High accuracy, watch accented final vowels for stress.

Whisper handles Italian with high accuracy. The main thing to watch is the accented final vowel that marks stress or meaning, as in perché, città, and è versus e. The review step highlights words the model was unsure about so you can correct them by ear, and only the sentence you edit changes its text while everything keeps its timing.
Italian uses grave and acute accents on vowels (à, è, é, ì, ò, ù) and the apostrophe for elision (l'amico, un'ora). All of these render with standard Unicode fonts, so the Text+ templates already in your DaVinci Resolve project display them without extra setup. Montserrat, Inter, and Poppins cover the full character set.
This suits Italian YouTube, Reels and TikToks, food and travel content, tutorials, and client work delivered in Italian. You can also transcribe in another language and translate into Italian, or start from Italian and translate the captions into 100+ languages.
