Adding SRTs can be a chore, but StoryToolkitAI does a great job of simplifying the process.

StoryToolkitAI is not a piece of software that is built by Blackmagic Design. It is a GitHub project by developer Octimot that runs on OpenAI’s Whisper and Python and uses Resolve’s API. As a result, it’s a bit finicky to install. I personally was having real trouble installing until I checked the issues page on the repo, realized I had conflicting versions of Python installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the correct versions and got it to work.

StoryToolkitAI has two huge advantages for me: it is free, and it runs locally, meaning you do not need to pay Adobe or use their servers or their machine learning software they call Adobe Sensei. I will admit that Adobe’s product is currently smoother and slicker to work with, but for something offered for free on a GitHub repository, StoryToolkitAI runs very well.

Translation is a very nuanced process — many would say an art — that requires a person to ensure it’s done correctly. Machine learning is getting much better for sure, but the results you getfrom model to model, so you need a human being to make sure your results are accurate. The same goes for any English subtitles involving descriptive text. Machine learning cannot properly understand what is going on in a scene just by listening.
