12Resolve-aware upgrades

The Resolve polish pass gets built in.

Style subtitles, clean them up, add sound, and export in one Resolve flow.

01Start styled

Pick the look before the timeline work starts.

36 Pro subtitle templates

Pick from Ember's Pro subtitle templates before Ignite runs, including punchy social styles and per-word looks that land as styled Fusion Text+ instead of flat captions.

Line breaks that clean themselves up

Automatic casing after punctuation, pyramid-style line breaks, and multi-line handling keep captions readable without turning every block into formatting work.

Character-level highlights

Use CharacterLevelStyling-aware templates for accent words, highlights, and gradient/color controls, then adjust style controls before committing to Resolve.

02Review faster

Clean timing and wording while the edit is still readable.

Transcript cleanup stays audible

Word timing, waveform-aware review, and audio-linked cleanup help you catch phrasing problems before the styled clips hit the Resolve timeline.

Per-word styling without manual slicing

Explode subtitle blocks into word-level timing, preview the split on the timeline, and keep cleanup moving without rebuilding every word by hand.

Automatic DaVinci timeline preview

Change each subtitle template on the go and preview the result against the DaVinci timeline before you send the final Fusion clips.

03Stay in Resolve

Keep project context attached to every decision.

Magic Shuffle for parallel caption lanes

Redistribute subtitle blocks across multiple tracks automatically, so overlapping captions stay readable without flattening everything into one lane.

Resolve context stays visible

The desktop app keeps the Resolve project name, connection state, track mapping, and timeline handoff close while you review, adjust, Ignite, or export.

Project settings stay remembered

Generation, context, Forge, and batch preferences can stay tied to the active Resolve project/client, so repeat work does not start from default settings again.

04Finish the edit

Carry the polish pass through delivery.

Zooms and transitions after captions land

Ignite can plan subtle punch-in zooms, detect cut points, and place centered transition clips after subtitle placement, so the polish pass starts already roughed in.

Music and SFX ride with the edit

Add transition SFX, subtitle sound effects, and music from Ember's Resolve bins, with shuffle controls and track selection built into the Ignite run.

Automatic export is part of the flow

Batch render tooling handles export folders, numbered filename patterns, Resolve timeline names, and optional Voice Isolation for delivery passes.
