How to Add Russian Subtitles in DaVinci Resolve
Russian is written in Cyrillic and changes word endings heavily with grammar, which is where machine transcripts often slip. Caption Pro transcribes your timeline with Whisper AI, trained on a large amount of Russian, and lets you review the text before any caption is placed.
High accuracy, review helps with case endings and names.

Whisper transcribes Russian with high accuracy. Its case system means endings shift a lot, so the review step is useful for catching a wrong ending or a proper name spelled unexpectedly, and it highlights uncertain words so you can fix them by ear, changing only the line you edit.
Cyrillic renders with standard Unicode fonts, so the Text+ templates already in your DaVinci Resolve project display Russian without extra setup. Montserrat, Inter, and many other common fonts cover the full Cyrillic range, so you can match your existing look.
This works for Russian YouTube, short-form vertical video, tutorials, and content subtitled in Russian for a wider audience. You can also transcribe in another language and translate into Russian, or start from Russian and translate the captions into 100+ languages.
