Offsetting audio and subtitle tracks
Normally the video, audio, and subtitle tracks in a movie all start at the same time. Use an
offset
to change the starting point of audio or subtitle tracks relative to the video. For
example, you can offset audio tracks to correct video/audio sync problems, providing the
video and audio are out of sync by a constant amount throughout the movie. Or you can
offset a subtitle track containing subtitles imported from a script file, if all the timecodes in
the script are off by a constant amount.
You can create an offset even if the track contains no content. When you add content to the
track, the audio or subtitles take on the offset automatically.
To offset individual audio or subtitle tracks:
1. Double-click the movie in the Project window. The movie appears in the Preview
window.
2. In the Timeline window, click the Solo button for the track you want to offset so that
you can hear the audio or see the subtitles. See
“Previewing movies with multiple audio
and subtitle tracks” on page 83
for details.
3. Start playing the movie using the Preview window’s controls.
