Please the function keys are used, those above the numeric key on Your keyboard. Thanks
We know where they are, dumbass. It doesnt work.
You have to press the “Fn” key at the left bottom (red letter) at same time when pressing F1 or F2 – I won’t call you ‘dumbass’.
It also works on some computers without pressing the fn key. Thanks
Use subtitle menu; ctrl+6 if you’ve already loaded a subtitle. Then you need to pause just at the beginning of any sentence of any conversation and find the line corresponding to that sentence and then right click on it choose “Current (F5)”.
Thank you so much for the info; that would save me tons of time watching GoT.
thank you so so so much
it saved me rn

ziv bio!
I am here posting this reply comment to thank you, and you alone.
You are a true savior.
I hope for you all the best in life. Wish you good health, and prosperity.
People like you should be sculpted, and remembered for the ends of time.
Now I leave with all great wishes for you, peace to you my good savior. It was a pleasure reading your comment.
thanks mate
Both find. But how to select the subtitle to relevent frame??
It changes the subtitle sync but not the speed. Lots of times subtitles keep getting delayed or advanced and you need to keep using F1 or F2 every few seconds. How can we change the speed, so we don’t have to keep fixing it while we watch something?
For me the following worked:
go to view > options > subtitles.
In the top right-hand corner you will see “delay step” – set it to a value greater than “0”. I set it to 100ms.
Aplly the changes and click on OK.
If you now use the “F1” and “F2” keys the subtitles will be delayed or sped up by the increment you entered (e.g. 100ms).
Hope this helps.
F1 and F2 moves the subtitles 500MS which is WAY WAY too much. It used to be like 10MS .. what happened? How do we fik it???
Nevermind.. I am blind.
F1, F2 doesn’t work
press Fn+F1/F2
Thanks for this.
You can’t help those that already think they are genus’s.. 🙂
do you know if I can save the slowdown of the subtitles.
You cannot save it on MPC HC. You can edited subtitles settings using notepad or Aegisub.
f1 opens windows help from computer
F1 opens windows help!
use fn with f1 and f2 respectively
Please do make sure you click on Main Window of MPC HC player and then press the F1 and F2 key for subtitle syncing, it will work
F1 and F2 NEVER worked, why?
The Function keys are the keys. The keys above 1, 2 to 0. You will see them F! to F12
just use fn with f1 and f2
Please do make sure you click on Main Window of MPC HC player and then press the F1 and F2 key for subtitle syncing, it will work
