Closed captions/subs with multiple colours?

PostSun May 18, 2025 5:32 pm

Is there a way I can make captions/subtitles that have multiple colours or possibly multiple colours and fonts?

I want to create subtitles for the deaf/hard of hearing with different colours and perhaps fonts and positions for different genres of sound: white for speech, blue for bird song, orange for certain noises, etc. I'd like to potentially position captions at different locations in the image.

It seems that in Resolve only one subtitle track can be active at a time and that can only have one font style and positioning.

I may have to resort to using title generators, but wonder if anyone has a workaround or I am not seeing something in the manual.
