Install the small bridge.
In KathaCut Settings, choose DaVinci Resolve and select Install plugin. Restart Resolve if it was already open. In Resolve, open a project and timeline, then choose Workspace → Scripts → KathaCut.
LOCAL BRIDGE · RESOLVE FREE OR STUDIO
Caption in KathaCut.
Finish in Resolve.
Bring an edit into KathaCut, work on the captions, then send them back as native, editable Text+ clips.
BETA
Implemented, but not fully verified.
The bridge connected to Resolve Studio 21.0.0.47 on Windows. Timeline import, caption sync, and create-in-Resolve have not yet had a full end-to-end acceptance run. Treat this as an early workflow and report what you test.
Import a timeline or a proxy.
From KathaCut Home, import the Resolve timeline. If the edit contains elements that cannot be rebuilt confidently, KathaCut reports them for review and can offer a rendered proxy route.
Work in the familiar editor.
Transcribe, edit the words and timings, choose a style, and review the result in KathaCut. Local transcription needs a downloaded speech model and keeps your media on your computer.
Send editable Text+ clips.
Choose Sync to Resolve, review the change summary and support notes, then confirm. KathaCut only reports supported or approximated styling; Resolve renders the resulting Text+ clips itself.
A CLEAR SUPPORT MATRIX
What the bridge is meant to do.
Timeline importRebuild supported cuts from original media, or render a proxy when needed.
Text+ captionsSync caption text, timing, and selected style properties as editable clips.
New timelineCreate a new Resolve timeline from a KathaCut edit and add captions.
StylingSome styling maps directly; other properties are approximated or not sent. The sync review lists the support status.
TRY IT WITH A BACKUP PROJECT
Tell us exactly what worked.
Use a copy of a project while the beta workflow is being checked. Include your Resolve version, operating system, and the step where the result differed from what you expected.
The current implementation notes and full support matrix are in docs/RESOLVE.md. See also the test-build install guide.
