What is the difference of Subtitles and Captions?

Subtitles:

• In this context, subtitles are the most basic form of timed transcription of the audio in a video

• In Davinci Resolve, subtitles have a separate track of their own.

<aside> ❗ To use Snap Captions, the subtitle track must be created before the captions, as Snap Captions generates captions based on the subtitle track.

Captions:

• Captions, are customizable, animated texts that you can style however you’d like.

• Captions do not have a track of their own, instead, they are placed in the regular video tracks.
