Subtitle Time Shift & Sync (SRT/VTT)
Subtitle Time Shift & Sync (SRT/VTT): Parses timecodes into milliseconds, adds 1,500ms offset, and reformats into standard SRT time strings.
About this subtitle time shift & sync (srt/vtt)
Subtitle Time Shift & Sync (SRT/VTT) — browser-based utility.
How this tool works
Implements client-side Subtitle Time Shift & Sync (SRT/VTT) operations. Parses timecodes into milliseconds, adds 1,500ms offset, and reformats into standard SRT time strings specifically designed for a video editor synchronizes an srt subtitle file by shifting all timestamps forward by 1.5 seconds.
- Block & Inline Lexical Parsing: Deconstructs raw Markdown into block elements (containers, paragraphs, lists) and inline tokens (links, code, emphasis).
- AST Tree Compilation: Constructs an abstract syntax tree representing document hierarchy and validating balanced tag delimiters.
- Transformation & Stripping: Serializes AST nodes to clean semantic HTML5 markup or strips formatting to yield pure unformatted plain text.
- Sanitization & Preview: Sanitizes HTML output to prevent script injection vulnerabilities and renders responsive visual previews.
Worked example
Scenario: A video editor synchronizes an SRT subtitle file by shifting all timestamps forward by 1.5 seconds.
Sample input:
Processing: Parses timecodes into milliseconds, adds 1,500ms offset, and reformats into standard SRT time strings.

Limits and verification
HTML script tags and potentially malicious iframe elements in source markdown are sanitized to prevent XSS. Deeply nested lists or blockquotes are bounded to prevent call stack overflows.
Examples demonstrate an expected workflow; they do not prove every input or every branch of an external specification. Check important results with an independent source before using them for money, security, compliance, safety, or irreversible file changes.
Browser processing boundary
Tool input is processed by code running in the browser and is not intentionally sent to a CZOA processing API. The page can still request ordinary site assets, analytics, or advertising when those services are enabled. Browser extensions and managed-device software remain outside this tool's control.

Frequently asked questions
What does Subtitle Time Shift change?+
It reads JSON content and offsetMs, finds SRT-style timestamps, adds the finite millisecond offset, clamps negative totals to zero, and preserves comma or dot delimiters.
What did the browser fixture verify?+
A 500 ms offset changed 00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:03,000 into 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,500.
Does it retime subtitle text or synchronize media?+
No. It changes timestamp strings only. Audio duration, cue order, overlap resolution, frame rates, media playback, and semantic timing remain outside the tool.
How are negative shifted timestamps handled?+
The calculated total is clamped to zero, so an offset cannot create a negative clock value in the rendered timestamp.
