Using Zoom Subtitles with Davinci Resolve 17

PostFri Mar 12, 2021 4:21 pm

I have a Zoom recording that generated WEBVTT subtitles. I converted the VTT format to SRT using:

Code: Select all
ffmpeg -i GMT20210304-182157.vtt GMT.srt


This appears to have worked fine. I can then add the SRT file and the original video (mp4) to the media pool. I can add the video track. The only option to add subtitles is when I right-click on the SRT file and it shows "insert selected subtitles into timeline using timecode." This does not result in adding the subtitle track.

No other subtitle options appear anywhere. It could be the time codes don't match. But I don't get an error message. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Googling and search the forums shows features not available in my view. The forum posts are missing in example solutions.

open your SRT file with a text editor, and see what the timecodes are. I'm guessing they are at 00 hour, and your timeline is at 01 hour.
