Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone with experience with Aegisub might be able to help.
I have started using Aegisub for the first time today and have encountered an issue.

Basically, the time-coded English subtitle file that the client sent me starts at 1:00:00.00.
I have already translated the subtitles into Japanse but with the loaded video starting at 0:000:000.00, the subs and the video won't match up.

Does anyone know if there is way to ... See more

Does anyone know if there is way to resolve this? Is it possible to somehow change the settings so the video plays back from 1:000:000.00?

Thanks in advance for your help! ▲ Collapse

Hi ayanohannah,

Why do you want the time codes and the video match up? Your client needs the subtitle file start at 1:00:00.00, and that's what matters.

Hi Max,

Thanks for your swift reply!

I guess I wasn't explaining myself clearly... So the problem is that at the moment I can't play back the video to check the translated subtitles because the subtitles don't show up on the screen (because of the mismatched timecodes). Does this make sense?
I need to check the translation within the video but currently am unable to.

Any suggestions?

Thank you
Ayano

Some thoughts Sep 15, 2016

First, I don't know a thing about Aegisub, never used it (but have nothing against it).

I'm a bit unsure on what you mean.

I get the impression that the timecode you are referring to appears on the screen all the time. A possible explanation is that this video was digitized from a TAPE (= analog, e.g. Betacam or U-Matic) player from its "video out" connection, with the TC onscreen turned on. FYI you can reset or set that counter to any number on tape machines, and most... See more

A possible explanation is that this video was digitized from a TAPE (= analog, e.g. Betacam or U-Matic) player from its "video out" connection, with the TC onscreen turned on. FYI you can reset or set that counter to any number on tape machines, and most operators add one hour to their zero-point to avoid ever having negative numbers there.

In digital video, the zero is always on the first frame, regardless of whether you have a leader, color bars with 1 kHz audio, countdown, whatever, or not. The onscreen TC, regardless of its baseline, is quite useful for dubbing, however it is not a reference for digital subtitling, where the zero is exactly where the video starts.

If I understood your query correctly, I hope this helps to shed some light there. ▲ Collapse
