 First, you need a caption file that Resolve can read.  If you use Zoom you may have a VTT or caption file.  For Resolve you need a SRT file.  Two ways to get this SRT file.  (You can also manually enter the captions but I'm not discussing that here.)
 ===Prepare the caption file===
-  - Copy the .vtt file to new file with an .srt extension
+for Resolve version 19+, it's easier than before.
+  - You'll need the transcript.vtt file.  Copy it (to save its original form) to a new file, say XX.
+  - Optionally edit the XX file and remove CONTINUE HERE>
+  - Copy the transcript.vtt file to new file with an .srt extension
+    - note this file has form: 1 time->time text
   - Edit the new .srt file
     - Delete the first two lines: the WEBVTT file and the blank line beneath it
-    - For each timestamp, replace the period with a comma.
+    - NOT NECESSARY DON'T DO For each timestamp, replace the period with a comma.
       * From: 00:00:03.090 (from VTT)
       * To: 00:00:03,090 (in SRT)
     - Optionally, you can removed the names from the captions (so the caption is “hello world” instead of “John Smith: hello world”)
 Preparing the file using vim:
-  - fix dot to comma: ''<color #666666>:g/^[0-9]/s/\./\,/g</color>''
+  - DON”T NEED TO fix dot to comma: ''<color #666666>:g/^[0-9]/s/\./\,/g</color>''
   - remove names from captions: ''<color #666666>:g/[A-Za-z].*:/s/^.*: ⁄⁄ </color>''
 //There may be programs that do this conversion but that's not what I'm using.//
