Batch Subtitle Synchronization Tool

Sushi Batch

Batch subtitle synchronization tool based on FichteFoll's fork of Sushi.

WARNING

Sushi is not perfect, an can output subtitles with broken timings. You should check if the subtitle was synced correctly on completed tasks with high shift average (10s or greater).

Installation

pip install sushi-batch

Required apps

• FFmpeg
• mkvmerge from MKVToolNix (Optional)

Windows

Add the required binaries to PATH or install them via a package manager like Chocolatey. You can also copy the executables to the directory from which you run this app (not recommended).

Linux

Most distros link installed packages to PATH automatically, so just make sure to install the required apps via your distribution's package manager.

How does Sushi work?

Sushi works by finding the closest similar pattern between a provided source and sync target audio track. The obtained shift value is applied to the output subtitle, which will be synced to the sync target track.

Audio-based Sync

You must provide:

• A subtitle file (ASS, SRT, SSA).
• The original audio track for that subtitle.
• A sync target audio track to sync the subtitle to.

Video-based Sync

You only need to provide:

• A source video file which contains a subtitle.
• A sync target video file.

You can select a specific subtitle or audio track from the video files. This allows you to add multi-language subtitles for a specific audio track.

FFmpeg will take care of extracting the audio and subtitle tracks for processing.

Usage

This program allows for:

• Batch synchronization of files within selected directories / selected files.
• Queueing of synchronization tasks
• Merging synced subtitles with sync target video (more below)

Merge synced subs with video

If mkvmerge is installed, the app will automatically merge the synced subtitle to the specified sync target video file. The merge can also be started manually inside the Job Queue section.

You can customize the arguments used for merging via the app's settings.
