Subtitle delay

What it is for

When every line of a subtitle is early or late, shift them all at once while the video plays.

How to use it

1. Right-click the picture, open Subtitles, and point at Timing.
2. Click the 50 ms or 500 ms buttons until the lines match the speech: a plus value shows them later, a minus value earlier. Reset returns to zero.
3. Or press Z and X for 50 ms steps, Shift+Z and Shift+X for 500 ms. The value shows in the top-right corner.

Keep the timing beyond this video

1. Apply to the whole series makes it the starting timing for this show’s subtitles in the same language. It needs an episode of a series in your library; if unavailable, its tooltip says why.
2. Apply to the subtitle file… writes it into the subtitle, and into the file you saved it to, so other players get it too — see Saving a subtitle. Kaveo asks first.

Good to know

• Each subtitle keeps its own timing: another track or the next episode starts at zero unless you applied it to the series, and an episode you already adjusted keeps its own.
• Writing needs a subtitle file, not a track inside the video: use Tools › Extract from this file first; the extracted file keeps the delay. Afterwards the delay reads zero, since the file carries it.
• A private title does not remember its delay.
