Subtitle edit

[Costantinil]

Hello.

How do I set video time code to start in 01:00:00 in subtitle edit app?

[johns0]

Bottom left there's a column to set the start time.

[Costantinil]

Sorry, I was not clear.
I loaded a video and when a play it the timecode at the beginning showed in the bottom right is 00:00:00,000.
I need the video to start at 01:00:00,000.
The reason is that I have a subtitle file created with that starting timecode and I can't change it.
Thanks for your help.

As Johns0 said, lower left corner:

[Keyser]

The reason is that I have a subtitle file created with that starting timecode and I can't change it.

Why not?

P.S. If I understand correctly, the OP doesn't want to advance playback to 01:00:00,000; instead, he wants the begining of the video to have timecode 01:00:00,000.

[Costantinil]

Im including an example.
you can see that the video has burned a timecode (starting at 00:58:20.00) and at the bottom right its starting at 00:00:00.00.
I need the botton right timecode to start at 00:58:20.00)

[johns0]

You can't do what you want,if that timecode is burned in then it starts at the time its burned at,subtitle will only adjust text time codes.

[Costantinil]

I have checked the video.
As you can see the timecode of first frame is 00:58:20,00 but in subtitle edit it starts at 00:00:00,0

[Costantinil]

Please do someone know how to solve this issue with subtitle edit? Thanks very much...

[El Heggunte]

It seems to me that the information "timecode of first frame" has nothing to do with subtitle timings...

[smrpix]

Subtitle Edit does not read timecode. So all files are considered to start at 0.

The good news is you know the offset: 58;20;00.

If you're creating new titles, create them to match video, then add a 58;20;00 offset before you export.
If you're importing existing tiltes, subtract 58;20;00 from the first title start time and slip the rest to match.

You may want to download the demo for SubBits subtitler and see if it does what you need:

Timecode in video related to video editing programs not to subtitle edit
in subtitle edit timecode start always start from 00:00:00.00
maybe you can explain what exactly you trying to do?

[Costantinil]

Thank you for your explanation!

If the subtitle edit does not read the timecode, I need to add an offset if I'm exporting or subtract if I'm importing.

[El Heggunte]

If the audio and the video are sync-ed, and the subtitle file is sync-ed too,
then you have to do nothing =)

Hej
I've got another question to "Subtitle edit". Hope it's okay that I use your thread.

I like to add subtitles to a video. Therefore I have a txt-file with the time and the subtitles. Is there any way to use this file? When I'm open it in Subtitle edit it shows the time as a text, not as a staringtime.

Thank you for help
Best whishes

@blesbie

Maybe. Probably.

Perhaps you should attach the file to a post or paste part of it to show how it looks.

I'll leave it to the moderators if you should open a separate thread.

[Blesbie]

It looks like this:
time_s Subtitle
6,445 2,05
6,465 2,05
6,485 2,05
6,505 1,97
...

So the time is in seconds, but with Excel I could bring it into the usal form 00:00:06:...

Any ideas how to load into "Subtitle edit"?

[aedipuss]

hate the fact I went to uni to become a translator/interpreter. this semester we are dealing with subtitle translation... can anyone suggest to me a good app (please, except "subtitle edit" can't use it...)

idiot. you replied to a 6 year old post that has nothing to do with what you want. as if it even existed... good luck at "uni"

Hey folks!

I need help in something concerning the Whisper Speech to text function. I use the beta version 3.6.13 because thats what works with hungarian language. So I need help in the usage of the Whisper Advanced command tab, what command should I use to limit the maximum character length Thanks in advance

You don't need to set a command.
You have the option:
Max. Char. per subtitle line > None OR up to 98
Do you have to use SE?
CPP is not the most accurate bundle.
I use the Open AI with command line and I get fantastic results with a GPU of 8GB VRAM
BTW this is a very old thread. You should have started a new one.
