Desktop support
Windows 10+ or macOS 12+
Ember ships desktop installers for both supported operating systems.
Compatibility
Know exactly what Ember needs before you install.
This page keeps the trust layer tight: operating system support, DaVinci Resolve requirements, account access, and which workflows depend on an active timeline connection.
Core setup
Desktop app, supported Resolve target, signed-in account.
Install on Windows 10+ or macOS 12+ with the current Ember desktop build for your platform.
Use the latest Ember-supported DaVinci Resolve version for workflows that push subtitles back onto the timeline. Studio is not required by Ember.
Sign in to your Ember account for downloads and update checks, and keep Resolve open for timeline-linked workflows.
Resolve requirement

Requirements
The hard requirements that matter before launch.
These are the repo-grounded prerequisites behind installation, update delivery, and timeline-connected workflows.
Supported desktop OS
Windows 10+ or macOS 12+
Current Ember desktop builds are distributed for these operating systems, with installers matched to each platform.
DaVinci Resolve
Latest Ember-supported version
Required for Ignite, timeline audio render, and playhead-sync workflows that talk directly to Resolve. The Studio edition is not required by Ember.
Running Resolve session
Keep Resolve open for timeline-linked features
Resolve must be running for timeline integration features and related timeline audio workflows.
Workflow compatibility check
Test before paid delivery
Confirm Ember with your OS, Resolve version, media, codecs, project setup, and delivery format before using it on time-sensitive work.
Licensed access
Signed-in Ember account for downloads and update checks
The website purchase flow and backend download routes both assume a signed-in Ember account before installer delivery.
Workflow fit
What depends on Resolve, and what stays flexible.
Ember supports both timeline-linked work and flexible file delivery, but only Resolve-connected workflows require an active supported DaVinci Resolve session.
Latest supported DaVinci Resolve running
Ignite timeline injection
Ember injects frame-accurate Fusion Text+ clips directly onto the active DaVinci Resolve timeline.
Resolve running
Timeline audio render
Timeline-linked generation can render source audio from the current Resolve timeline before transcription and refinement.
Resolve running
Playhead sync
Playhead handoff between Ember and Resolve depends on an active Resolve session.
A Resolve timeline or an Ember project
Export delivery
Rendering clips to a folder needs an active Resolve session with the timeline open, or an Ember project with Ember Engine installed. Posting to a social account is part of Pro and Max.
Included capabilities
Track layout
Ember starts with 4 subtitle tracks and supports dynamic track changes for layered layouts.
Language support
Transcription, orthography and refinement support are included for every supported language.
Installers
Platform-aware installers ship as .exe installer on Windows and .dmg installer on macOS.
