Replace the existing +/- incremental offset buttons with a slider control (see pic). The current method is incredibly frustrating. I have included a screenshot showing a slider control that defaults to 0 and is set at its midpoint.

Or allow us to manually set a custom fixed number to the offset. I mean, 50 milliseconds, really?

Can you really see any difference at that offset?

It kinda is ridiculous, ain’t it?

There’s a separate suggestion for this.

> Changing a subtitle offset 100000ms in 50ms increments is maddening. Allow for much larger offsets or allow the user to type an offset in.
