# Emberu

> Emberu turns a cut into word-timed subtitles, gives you a timeline to fix them, and places styled captions and polish back into DaVinci Resolve.

Emberu is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that generates word-timed subtitles for DaVinci Resolve, places them back on the timeline as styled captions, and adds the polish around them: zooms, transitions, music, sounds, Flares, B-roll, Hide Cuts and looks. It renders video files, not caption files, and every plan renders clips to a folder. Posting to social accounts and Ember Engine are part of Pro and Max; with Ember Engine, Emberu can edit and render without Resolve.

These pages explain product behavior and workflows. They deliberately omit internal implementation details.

## When to use Emberu

- A DaVinci Resolve editor needs word-timed subtitles placed on the active timeline as styled Fusion Text+ captions, not a separate SRT hand-off.
- The same pass should add Emberu's polish: zooms, transitions, music, sound effects, Flares, B-roll, Hide Cuts or a look.
- A user wants an AI assistant to caption, edit, place graphics or render inside the project they already have open in Emberu.
- A team wants a repeatable subtitle-and-finishing workflow on Windows or macOS with media and renders kept on the local machine.

Do not use Emberu as a hosted transcription API, a real-time caption service, a web-only editor, or a general-purpose cloud render farm. It is desktop software with a local project and a local render.

## How an agent should call Emberu

1. Read the app's `ember://guide` resource and each MCP tool's schema; they are newer than this site.
2. Check Emberu's status before acting. A blocker names the fix, such as Resolve not running or no project open.
3. Read the captions and clips you are about to change. A stale edit is refused instead of overwriting newer work.
4. Keep one intent per step and generate or Ignite once with the approved options; restyle instead of regenerating.
5. Render a still or short preview when composition matters, then report what changed, any warnings, and where the files are.

The desktop connection is MCP, not this website. Open Settings > Account > Agents in Emberu, or run `Ember mcp --register <assistant>`. Agent access is part of Pro and Max.

## Documentation

### Start here

- [Getting started with Emberu](https://emberu.app/docs): Emberu turns a DaVinci Resolve cut into word-timed captions, then places the look and the polish you chose back on the timeline.

### Captions

- [Captions: generate and edit](https://emberu.app/docs/captions): Pick Extraction, Translation or Scripts, review the word timing in the subtitle editor, and pass the approved captions on to Ignite.
- [Furnace: rough cuts before captions](https://emberu.app/docs/furnace): Furnace cuts a long recording down before captions exist, trimming pauses, dropping bad takes and building short-form clips.

### Style and motion

- [Animations and Sparks](https://emberu.app/docs/styles): Pick a caption Animation, set its typography and colour, and add the Sparks that finish the frame.
- [Shuffle: Length and Formations](https://emberu.app/docs/shuffle): Pace the captions with Length and your Primary Animations, then let Formations arrange the moments that matter.
- [Ignite: captions and polish in one pass](https://emberu.app/docs/ignite): Ignite places your captions and the polish around them on a Resolve timeline in one pass.

### Delivery and agents

- [Export: renders](https://emberu.app/docs/export): Render the clips in a Resolve timeline or an Emberu project to a folder.
- [Emberu with AI agents](https://emberu.app/docs/agents): Let an AI assistant caption a timeline, move clips, place graphics and render the result.

## Notes

- The app is the current source of truth. Settings and limits may change between releases; each page describes the behavior a current build provides.
- Caption and reusable graphic designs are called Animations in all user-facing copy.
- Inside the desktop app, an AI assistant reads the `ember://guide` resource and each MCP tool's schema, which are more current than this site.

Plan gates are stated on each feature page and on /pricing.
