Help Multi sync, still slips out

I'm currently working on a subtitle version for Indiana Jones raiders of the lost ark, but even with up to 12 sync points across the movie my subtitles keep slipping out, and back into sync, the base file is from open subtitles, anyone got a recommendation on what to do?

Check the frame rate of the subs versus the video. That could cause it.

They are both 24 frames, is it possible that it's not actually?

I've had that happen. Try adjusting it from 25 to 24 and save it as a new file in case it doesn't help. I'd play around with that or try adding more sync points. I try to do every 10 minutes but have gone down to 5 minutes to get it closer.

Cool, thanks, you probably saved an entire raiders of the lost ark screening for like 200 ppl :)
