en This is a very good idea software!! However, I am using YouTube automatic Translated caption. In my case, the video caption is delayed 13 second or more (need -13sec). However, your input field accept less or equal to 5 seconds. Please make it more longer (around -20 to +20 seconds). I am waiting you. Best regards,

en Works as intended, I'm not sure if it's possible but I'd love to see a negative delay feature, so it shows earlier rather than later.

en This is great. Was going to build a tool for myself to do this but decided to check first to see if it existed already. It does and you nailed it. Pretty much perfect execution imo

en Works, but subtitles can only delayed, not possible to hurry them (=negative delay value).

en thanks brother! I am watching some videos to learn english. The tools save me a lot of time.I have no need to switch between subtitle on and off. By the way, I'm a frontend engineer :)

en Absolutely fantastic! Was watching a movie whose subtitles were so badly out of sync it was distracting. My only gripe is that 5 seconds is the longest delay possible. The movie I was watching kept getting less and less in sync, to the point where even 5 seconds wasn't a long enough delay. Besides that, it's great!

Finally! I've been trying the old shiftj/l method for months but it's not working like it used to. Desync'd subtitles drive me up the wall and seem to exacerbate themselves the more they run or are interrupted. What starts as a few frames turns into 3-6 seconds. This extension is magic. Took me a few refreshes to really dial it in, but once you nail it down, perfection. Thank you creator!
