Hi =)
If I need my subtitles to start two minutes later, for example, and I have already done all the time codes?
I think there must be a way to offset the whole thing by 2 minutes. Does anyone know how to do it?

Hi, I'm not user but I found this. It might help.

Q: Can Subtitle Edit offset times - but not from the very beginning?
A: Yes, you can work with a selection of subtitle lines. Select the lines in the list view you want to work on (hint: click on the first line, then shift+click on the last) and then right-click in the list view (context menu) - now you can adjust the selected lines in "visual sync selected lines" or just "show selected lines earlier/later".

Hello,

First, click on the first subtitle you would like to move to a later timing.
Then click on the "synchronization" tab situated at the top. Then click on "adjust all times", put in the two minutes, click on "selected and subsequent lines", and then click on "show later".

Thank you so much, everybody!!
The synchronization tab totally works.
Thanks especially to Sarper Aman for explaining how to select multiple lines, which I also did not know how to do.
Yay!
