Subtitle massive shifting

[zibizibi]

Hi,

I've got a 2 hours video with the right SRT subtitles. I want to take a 5 min excerpt of this video and extract the corresponding subtitles from the big video subtitles.

Is this even possible ? If so, how ?

SRT subs are plain text. You can edit them with any text editor -- like Notepad. After snipping out the 5 minute section you want you can use Subtitle Workshop to shift the timing of the entire section.

Ah thanks I could shift it with this program, but only 100ms by 100ms so it took me several minutes even with the shortcut key pressed non stop !

Any way to do it faster ?

Edit -> Timings -> Set Delay (use negative number to advance).

Awesome, thanks a lot.

One last thing : can I do the same with VirtualSubSync ?

Probably. I don't know the program.
