How do you add subtitles or captions?

Explanation:
Subtitles are added by using a dedicated subtitles track and an external subtitle file. In Resolve, bring an SRT file into the Media Pool, then make sure your timeline has a Subtitles track enabled. Place the subtitle item from the Media Pool onto that track and align it with the video so the captions appear at the right times. This workflow keeps captions separate from the video data and lets you edit timing or styling as needed and then export with or without burn-in as required. The other options aren’t accurate because subtitles can be added in Resolve, the Color page isn’t used for captions, and subtitles aren’t automatically embedded into the video without a separate file or a burn-in step.
