As you edit a subtitle clip, these thresholds are used to automatically calculate how many lines
and characters are allowable for a particular subtitle clip given its duration. For example, if you
exceed the calculated threshold, the CPS value of that caption turns red to warn you.

Importing Subtitles and Captions
Oftentimes, adding subtitles or closed captions to a DaVinci Resolve timeline will involve
importing a subtitle file that’s been prepared elsewhere. Currently, DaVinci Resolve supports
subtitle files in the .srt SubRip format.
To import an .SRT-formatted subtitle or closed captioning file:
1 Open the Media Pool.
2 Right-click on any bin in the Bin list, or anywhere in the background of the Media
Poolbrowser, and choose Import Subtitle.
3 In the resulting file dialog, find and select the subtitle file you want to import,
andclickOpen.
4 The subtitle file appears as a subtitle clip in the Media Pool, ready for editing into a
subtitle track. A badge indicates that it’s a subtitle clip.
