How to Fix or Adjust Subtitle Timings That are Out of Sync

It is a simple process and begins with knowing how much time the synchronization is affected.

Once you establish the time in minutes or seconds you adjust the subtitle to synchronize correctly.

For this tutorial, I'll be using Subtitle Edit to Synchronize and adjust the subtitle timing.

Thanks for watching.

Really appreciated mate, my mom is old and she doesn't speak english but she loves old western classic movies. She has been watching her favorite movies for years without understanding anything but guessing the story base on what happens in the movie. This video helped me to write/edit subs for my mom's favourite movies and she was super surprised and happy about it. Thank you!

1. if you've adjusted the subtitle timing inaccurately and wish to start over you can click "undo" in the edit drop down menu. (the timestamps in the caption list will revert but the timing change you entered in the synchronization popup will still be there for reference). 2. if you adjust the caption timing so that the captions appear later; skip the step where he erases the first line. 3. when you're satisfied with the adjustment you must click save in the "file" drop down menu. also great video. thanks. 😀

Great stuff! Still works like a charm, thank you! I had to move all my subtitles up with 19 seconds, did in in 2 seconds.

Thanks for this tutorial David. Without you I would've been struggling all the time to download the subtitles with the right sync. You're a gem.

This video is fantastic! I have been struggling with a subtitle that was off by about 7 seconds. This has fixed the problem. Thank you very much David for taking the time to show this great tool, works perfectly. Much appreciated!

Cheers, David. You're a lifesaver! Kept it short and simple and most importantly it actually worked and the software was quick and easy to download and use!

Thank you so much, David! Before seeing this video, I had to manually change the subtitle synchronization settings every time I opened the video file. The software you showed in the video was very easy and intuitive to use. Thank you so much!

Thank you for this useful and easy to follow tutorial...I've been struggling to synchronize the subtitle, and your video helped me so much!

Nice video. But there is some subtitle out of sync differently from early, middle or end of sub. For example, i set minutes/seconds for resync... For a few lines early, its good. But the next lines, still has some out of sync.

Yours is the easiest videos about subtitle edit. Thank you, please keep it coming

[MisterBethany]

This is excellent! Very nicely explained, completely clear instructions. I had a real problem understanding how to use SubtitleEdit (and I;m usually pretty good with new software) but this has put me completely on the right road to using it properly. Thnaks you VERY much! I've subscribed, and I kind of expect you'll teach me about apps I've been using ineffectively for decades!

[renjundumpling]

Oh my god I was about to lose my mind when my subtitles went off-sync, but this video was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for the super clear instructions and for the link to the software in the comments!!

Life saver bro. Adj subtitles sounds very technical but this sh*t was easy man! Thank you.

[yugimotto]

not gonna lie, it helped me a bit. at first I got lazy and just gonna edit the video length to match the subtitle but your way is much better.
