Problems with timing using Subtitle Workshop

[Antus77]

Hi everybody, I'm new to this site but I read a lot of useful comments. I was wondering if anyone had the same problem I have with subtitle workshop. I have to work on a movie with the time code beginning at 05:02:51:16. When I press ALT C to set the start time for the first subtitle, the program automatically sets it at 00:00:00:00. Is there a way to "tell" the application that the first time code is different from 00:00:00:00? I hope I made myself clear.

Thank you!

Not quite clear.
Ii is not clear what you mean by this: "I have to work on a movie with the time code beginning at 05:02:51:16" ?
Before you press Alt+C, you have to be in a certain position on a video timeline, where that subtitle line should start to appear.

Anyway, use a help file. Everything is explained there. The best way to learn how to use this tool, is to print the help file and keep it handy.
