How to Add Spanish Subtitles in DaVinci Resolve
Spanish is one of the strongest languages for automatic transcription, which makes it a good place to start captioning inside DaVinci Resolve. Caption Pro listens to your timeline, writes out the Spanish dialogue, lets you fix anything before it lands on the timeline, and times every word so the captions match the speech.

Whisper AI, the engine behind Caption Pro, handles Spanish with high accuracy across accents, from Iberian to Latin American. Numbers, dates, and common names transcribe cleanly. Because you review the transcript before any caption is placed, the words Whisper is unsure about are highlighted so you can correct them by ear, and only the line you edit changes.
Spanish uses accented vowels (á, é, í, ó, ú), the ñ, and opening punctuation like ¿ and ¡. These render correctly with any standard Unicode font, so the DaVinci Resolve Text+ templates you already use will display them without extra setup. If you want a specific look, fonts such as Montserrat, Poppins, or Inter cover the full Spanish character set.
This works well for Spanish YouTube videos, Reels and TikToks aimed at Spain or Latin America, course content, and client work that ships in Spanish. You can also transcribe in the original language and translate the captions into Spanish, or start from Spanish and translate outward into any of 100+ languages.
