subtitle-delay

A program written in Python that directly edits SRT file to delay the subtitles.

Features:

1. Will throw an error if delaying with negative number pushes the initial time-stamp out of bounds.
2. Can delay subtitles in multiple SRT files at once.

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/CodePleaseRun/subtitle-delay.git
cd subtitle-delay

Usage:

python main.py srt_file_name delay_time

• srt_file_name must end with .srt extension
  • Additionally, . and * can be used instead of srt_file_name to delay the first (lexicographic) and all the SRT file(s) in the current working directory respectively.
• delay_time can be an integer or float with upto 3 digit precision, further precision will be dropped.

Examples:

1. Delaying subtitles in subtitle.srt by 3 seconds.

python main.py subtitle.srt 3

2. Delaying subtitles in the first .srt file in the directory ordered lexicographically by -2 seconds.

python main.py . -2

1. Delaying the subtitles in all .srt files in current directory by 1.754 seconds.
