The Shift Subtitles Text enables you to move the text from a subtitle(s) to the next one. Or the other way around - from the current subtitle to the previous one. But it becomes really handy when the above operation must be performed for several consecutive subtitles.
Include both subtitle tracks - the option will be displayed only when the project contains subtitles in the Main and Secondary tracks. Respectively, after activating it subtitles from both the Main and Secondary tracks will be affected simultaneously.
The exact subtitles that will be shifted can be selected from the Subtitle Range options:
By TC (timecode) |
Selects subtitles inside a set time interval, i.e. select all subtitles from 00:00:00:00 to 00:10:00:00 for example. |
By Number |
Selects the subtitles from number X to number Y. |
All Subtitles |
Select all subtitles in the file. |
From current subtitle |
Selects all subtitles from the current subtitle until the last subtitle in the file. |
The Shift Count option is used to specify how many subtitles EZTitles will skip before start pasting the text. For example, if we need to move the text of Subtitle 1 to Subtitle 3, Subtitle 2 to Subtitle 4, so on, we need to set Shift Count to 2.
The Forward and Backward buttons indicate the shift direction. If we want to shift the text from Subtitle 10 to Subtitle 11 we have to select Forward and, respectively, if we need to shift it from Subtitle 10 to Subtitle 9 - we need to select the Backward option.
