MX Player provides a lot of controls over the subtitles which you want to add to a particular video. Many times it happens that the file we downloaded for subtitles proves to be an exact match for the video. But sometimes the file we downloaded doesn’t match perfectly to the video and in that case, the subtitles come either before or after dialogue delivery. To fix this issue we have options in MX Player through which we can synchronize subtitles and even increase or decrease the speed accordingly.

All we need to do is to find the perfect match where the subtitles and the video are playing parallel. If it’s difficult for you to find the perfect balance for video and subtitles, then we would recommend you to try to hit and try for the perfect spot.

Not just this, we can also edit the text of the subtitles. We can change the size, color, font and even scale of the fonts. This way you can make these subtitles perfectly suit your mobile’s screen size. These features may not be enough to match a full fledge desktop software for editing subtitles, but these are more than enough for a smartphone.
