Subtitle repair guides

Fix timestamp errors, choose a time shift, or work through a reading-speed warning. Each guide includes examples to check against your file and video.

Find an SRT timestamp error without losing a cue

Read a SubRip block, separate formatting from timing problems, and make the smallest safe correction.

Move every SRT subtitle earlier or later

Choose the correct offset, understand negative-time protection, and recognize drift that a fixed shift cannot solve.

Understand a subtitle reading-speed warning

Calculate characters per second and use it as an editorial signal without mistaking it for an accessibility certificate.

Decide whether a subtitle overlap needs fixing

Find overlapping cues, including a long subtitle spanning several shorter ones, and choose a repair using the video.
