The Easy Guide: Sync Subtitles Using Subtitle Workshop
There are various techniques and tools that allow users to sync subtitles. Most users who are looking to sync subtitle with a movie are no computer experts, they are common users who need a quick solution. In this post I will follow the step by step guide which will help you sync the subtitles with a movie. In short, the whole process is quite easy.
We will use the tool Subtitle Workshop since I have found it to be the best out there. Run the application, go to File -> Load subtitle, and select the subtitle file that you want to sync.
Now once the subtitle is loaded, simply go to Movie -> Open and select the video with which you want to sync the subtitles.
The video will automatically start playing but you can pause it. Now hit the small Sync button which is marked ‘S’, as shown in the screenshot below.
This will open an Adjust Subtitle dialog box in Advanced tab. Go to Simple tab and enter the first spoken line and the last spoken line.
Now this is exactly the place where you will need to experiment. If you think the subtitle is displayed 1.5 seconds after the first line is spoken, then you will need to reduce the time for both the first spoken line and the last spoken line by 1.5 seconds.
So suppose if the first line is spoken at 00:02:12,500, then decreasing 1.5 seconds will make it 00:02:11,000. And the last spoken line will become from 01:36:42,878 to 01:36:41,378.
When you are done adjusting the subtitle, hit Adjust. Now save this new subtitle by going to File -> Save As. If it asks for the output format, select SubRip since it works with almost every media player. If you want to save it in any other format, feel free to do so.
It is that easy. You will get used to this process after the first try and can then sync the subtitles within 2 minutes, I can vouch for that.
Download Subtitle Workshop (downloads can be found in Download tab)
It works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. For more, you can also try out Subtitle Edit. Enjoy!

I’m sorry, but that’s not a synchronization. I have a subtitle without any start/end time. How will the program know when the people in the movie are talking? I suppose there must be a button to sync manually, because it’s the only way.
Hey, folks! How do I move all the subtitles for the entire movie for, like, a minute forward at with one click?
it didn’t show when I play in other media player beside the subtitling software it sefl. Please help me send information to my mail: anthonioustony@hotmail.com .thx

Cheers for this tip! I have had a foreign film waiting to be viewed for ages and the subs were off so I couldn’t make sense of what was being said and when! A great and easy guide.
What i don’t understood is in reality how you’re no longer actually a lot more neatly-liked than you may be right now. You are so intelligent. You recognize thus considerably when it comes to this subject, produced me in my opinion imagine it from numerous various angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be interested until it¡¦s something to do with Woman gaga! Your own stuffs nice. Always care for it up!

i try that one and let you know,,,,, lol it's mij last hope 😀
maybe can you tell me wich codecpack you use?if it works for you it must be the codecs….., or a conflict
K-Lite Codec Pack. Try this one after removing every other codec pack on your system.
well if I take the srt there's no problem, but the moment I take the .avi it stops workingI've got the codecs, but i got the same problem with other synch progs i was hopping that this one worked on w7i can't figure out what the problem is…….
doesnt work on windows 7
It does. As you can see from the screenshots above I tested this app in Windows 7. It is also written at the end of the article.
