View Full Version : adjust srt's to movie-length before joining?

i've got several small clips with seperate subs that i want to join. the subtitles might of course be shorter than the clips. this means i've got something like this

video1: 25:00 sec's
srt1: start 01:00, end 23:15 sec's

video2: 15:00 sec's
srt2: start 00:00, end 12:00 sec's
...

so if i join them with normal tools the first sub from srt2 will already start at 23:15, which is still in the first clip.

i tried to add the offset manually with subresync, but this tool seems to have a problem with multiple joins. it resets the subtitles after the 3rd opened file.

now i'm looking for a tool that is able to

a) automatically insert an empty dummy-subtitle, so that the srt-file will end exactly where the movie ends

or

b) join multiple srt's based on the absolute offset in min:sec:msec. something like subresync, but working for at least 47 srt-joins, not only 3.

i know this can be done manually but i don't want to do this 47 times in a row.

Just add the necessary offsets to the files with subresync by example...

And to join the files, I don't know what you can use but notepad... it works great... And I don't think it'll be too long, even if you've got to join 47 srt files...

EDIT : I forgot it was srt files, so copy/paste doesn't work...

as i said above, i open the first file in subresync, open the second with offset, open the third with offset and as soon as i open the fourth with offset all subs from the first 3 files are gone in subresync. feature or bug, i dont know.

there has to be something better than to join two files, save them, reopen it, join another one, saven them, reopen it...

You can also use Subtitle Workshop (http://urusoft.cjb.net) to do ANYTHING you want with subtitles (except rip them).
