Caption Cat earns its spot in the toolfarm library by handling captions entirely inside DaVinci Resolve, pairing Whisper-based transcription across 112 languages with animated title-template presets and viewer safe zones. Note that it is officially supported only in the Studio version of Resolve.
mamoworld Caption Cat brings animated, customizable captions to DaVinci Resolve, going beyond the styling and animation limits of Resolve's built-in caption tools. It runs fully integrated inside Resolve, so there's no need to switch applications or upload files to third-party services.
Captioning follows a three-step workflow: generate a subtitle track, choose and customize a preset, then apply your subtitles. Subtitle tracks can come from Resolve Studio's built-in transcription, Caption Cat's own AI-powered speech-to-text, or imported SRT files. Its transcription is powered by OpenAI's Whisper and supports 112 languages, and includes support for the Whisper small and large models plus custom Whisper parameters.
Presets are drag-and-drop and function as regular DaVinci Resolve title templates, with versions for Landscape and Vertical & Square formats. You can adjust animations, colors, fonts and more, and save reusable presets for consistent branding. Social media safe zones overlay directly in the viewer, showing where captions might overlap app UI elements so you can reposition them.
mamoworld Caption Cat is best for daVinci Resolve editors producing social media videos who want animated, on-brand captions without leaving Resolve or uploading footage to external services.
mamoworld Caption Cat is completely free to download and use.
Caption Cat lists compatibility with DaVinci Resolve 21, 20 and 19. It is officially supported only in the Studio version, following changes Blackmagic Design introduced in DaVinci Resolve 19.1 in November 2024 that limit the execution of scripts like Caption Cat in the Free version. The tool may still run with the Free version of Resolve 19.0.3 or earlier, but that is not guaranteed. Before relying on any edition, check the developer's page to confirm your setup is supported.
Caption Cat gives you a few ways to build a subtitle track: DaVinci Resolve Studio's built-in transcription, Caption Cat's own AI-powered transcription, or imported SRT files. For English content, Resolve Studio's built-in transcription is fast and accurate. For non-English or multilingual projects, Caption Cat is often the better fit, since it is powered by OpenAI's Whisper and supports 112 languages. On Windows systems with CUDA support its transcription is fast, while on Mac it runs significantly slower than Resolve's built-in option.
Caption Cat follows a three-step workflow. First, generate a subtitle track using Resolve Studio's built-in transcription, Caption Cat's own transcription, or an imported SRT file. Next, browse the preset library and drag a style onto a video track, then adjust animations, colors, fonts and more to match your look. Finally, click the Apply Subtitles button, and Caption Cat matches the subtitle text to the preset on the video track to create synchronized, animated captions. The presets behave as regular DaVinci Resolve title templates throughout.
Caption Cat is listed as free in this catalog. The developer describes it as a one-time purchase that grants a permanent license with no subscription, so terms may vary depending on where you get it. Licensing can change, so check the developer's page for current details before downloading. Either way, captioning happens inside DaVinci Resolve with no uploads to third-party services.
