  2. Copy the subtitle file to the same folder as your video.
  3. Make sure the name of the subtitle file matches the name of your video file. For example, if your video is titled “MyVideo123.mkv,” your subtitle file must be titled “MyVideo123.srt” or “MyVideo123.ass” in order to work.

Please adjust the timing of the subtitles if they’re out of sync! Different sources of the video have slightly different timings.

Most video players should have a setting that allows you to shift the timing of the subtitles.

Alternatively, you can use a subtitle editor such as Aegisub to permanently shift the timing of the subtitles.
