What is Caption Cat?

Caption Cat is a DaVinci Resolve plugin from mamoworld tools for creating animated captions aimed at social media videos. It runs fully integrated inside Resolve, removing the need to jump between applications or upload files to third-party services, and it works without subscriptions.

The plugin includes AI-powered speech-to-text transcription with support for 112 languages, so captions can be generated from spoken audio. A set of animated caption presets offers a range of styles, and social media safe zones appear as visual overlays in the viewer to help you avoid UI element overlaps. Customization options let you save your own designs as reusable presets for consistent branding across videos.

Caption Cat is compatible with DaVinci Resolve 21, 20, and 19. Version 1.2.0039, released June 1, 2025, fixed issues with DaVinci Resolve 20, following earlier updates that added support for additional Whisper transcription models. A demo video is available for a closer look.
