I just can't have it on for comedies. It ruins the timing of jokes and I can't keep myself from not subconsciously reading them. Years of watching fan made anime subs back 20+ years ago coerced me into reading subs really damned quickly.
When i grew up, the movie theaters showed movies in the original tone, but with subtitles in german and french. It was my absolute nightmare. My french wasn't even that good, but i couldn't not read it.
I worked putting together DCPs for theaters and managing checking the subtitles in the beginning of 2020, and was always impressed with the quality of the timing. If anything ruined a joke (which was pretty rare) I'd take it upon myself to split the line and adjust the timing to work better. I've always wondered why it seems like streaming subs have always been much worse, you'd think they would just use the same ones.
Sure it's whatever works out cheapest for them :-\
I delay them by at least two seconds to avoid reading stuff ahead of time and to look at them after realising I missed something.
That's a great idea. Is there an option to do that on Netflix?
No idea, I usually do it on vlc or kodi
Yeah. I know vlc and a lot of video players have the option. But that's not gonna be a thing when I'm up at work. Normally I don't have subs on when I'm at home unless it's a foreign language.
Apparently there are addons and extensions for chrome and firefox.
Up at the firehouse it's just streaming off the TV's built in apk. Not worth it enough for me to like hook up a laptop and screen share for just a subtitle offset.
