How to add a new line with same text to multiple subtitle at once?

[zyck]

Hello!

I have over 100 subtitles and on every one of them I want to add a text at the beggning "SAMPLE TEXT". ( a new line).
How can I do that and in what program ?

I think that with subtitleedit you can't ... if not someone correct me.
You can create a subtitle of intro (eg. 0~2 sec) with the line you want:

1
00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:02,000
"SAMPLE TEXT"

and join them with ffmpeg in a batch file... we make a text file: my_list.txt

file 'intro.srt'
file '%%a'

@echo 
set "ConcatScript=my_list.txt"
for %%a in (*.srt) do (
    (echo file 'intro.srt'
    echo file '%%~a'
       )>"%ConcatScript%"
C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg -f concat -i "%ConcatScript%" "%%~a.new.srt"
)
pause

I have tried it and it works, I suppose that some expert can correct something .. I don't know ...

But it is a way out of your problem..

You think can do that with subtitle edit but you have to go in the settings and find the options.

Edit: Ah, sorry - misunderstood... don't think SE can do this.

It's working , but the problem is that is changing the timings and then the subtitle will be in out of sync.

You can use batch convert with offset time codes for all the affected srt with subtitle edit.

If I set for all subtitles to show 2 seconds ealier to get them in sync , the intro it's removed .

Sorry .. I had not seen this situation.

Try ..

Start by applying the 'Offset time codes' (2,000/ Show earlier) in SE .. and then apply the batch adding the intro .
