Problem

When I play a movie with subtitles (on VLC media player), the text is often displayed too soon or too late. Is there a way to delay the starting point of the subtitles?

Fix for: How can I re-sync the subtitle and the video using VLC media player?

Low Risk

There is a much more easy way to do this via the advance synchronisation functionality of VLC Detect (“hear and see”) that subtitles are out of sync Press Shift + H when you hear a sentence that you will be able to easily recognize Press Shift + J when you read the same sentence in the subtitle Press Shift + K to correct the sync
