How to Find and Replace Words Across Subtitles

Hey guys! So I have autogenerated captions in Davinci Resolve. However it keeps hearing the same word wrong eg: "New" becomes "Neo" for every instance.

Is there a way I can find and replace them all at once. I am thinking maybe run a python script? anyone know how and have a sample script?

For a global Find and Replace, if you export the SRT, you can then open it in and use any text editor's Find and Replace function.... then resave (with the SRT extension) and bring it back into Resolve.

Appreciate that's a bit of a rubbish solution, but so far BMD haven't prioritised this sort of thing with their dev team.

If you need a quick 'built-in' find function for subs, I wrote a helper script which you can get from the thread here: Creating Scripts for DaVinci Resolve

Yeah I wanted to see if there is another solution without going through the .srt!

Thank you! I will check out your script!

Appreciate it :D

Just out of interest, is the a reason you don't like working with srt files? Am I missing something?
