Fix subtitles that drift over time

Some captions start in sync but slowly become early or late. Drift fixing linearly retimes timestamps across the full caption file.

Better than a single offset

Use Subtitle Time Shifter for a constant offset. Use this drift fixer when the sync error changes from the beginning to the end.

FAQ

Subtitle Drift Fixer questions

What is subtitle drift?

Subtitle drift is when captions gradually move out of sync, often because the audio/video timing was stretched or encoded differently.

Can this fix every subtitle sync issue?

It fixes linear drift. If individual sections are edited differently, you may need manual caption editing.
