Adjust subtitle file while watching

Postby franc » 13 Jun 2018 12:10

Hallo
very often I look some video film (mostly series) where I use not the exact subtitle srt-file, because I didnt find so or didnt search enough. But sometimes there is no way (for me) to find it.
Then I start first to set it right with Subtitle Edit (3.5.6) or Aegisub (for Mac, there is only this program, nothing as mighty as Subtitle Edit).
But if I have not the very right subtitle file I nearly always have to adjust it while watching.

Now I wonder if there is any way to save those adjustments on the fly to the srt-file while watching.
Is there a plugin for doing so?

That after watching and adjusting the srt-file in VLC I have the adjusted and correct srt-file for the next watching or other people.

Thank you

frank on VLC 3.0.3 (or 3.0.2 on Mac)

E.g. some seconds earlier or later. I use for this these useful commands:

Subtitle sync / bookmark audio timestamp
Subtitle sync / bookmark subtitle timestamp
Subtitle sync / synchronize audio & subtitle timestamps


So while watching the movie, sometimes quite often (e.g. 10 times) I do these corrections and this "work" is only one-time-living.
Could be written directly to the subtitle file, so the next time it is good for others (if I upload it after).

Understand now?

You already have that in VLC.

Where is that? How can I write the changes into the srt-file?
I have never found that anywhere in VLC. There is nothing in the menu, neither in the help about writing the changes to the file.

Maybe in the Windows Version? Maybe in a alpha version? But surely not in the 3.0.4 for Mac. No way to write the subtitle changes to the srt-file.
