&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;drag and drop &lt;code&gt;.srt&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;.vtt&lt;/code&gt; file onto video&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to sync subtitles go to &lt;code&gt;window &amp;gt; track syncronization &amp;gt; subtitles track sync&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;can also use &lt;code&gt;h&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;j&lt;/code&gt; keys during playtime to delay subtitles&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="launch-vlc-from-terminal"&gt;Launch vlc from terminal&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;open terminal and execute &lt;code&gt;code ~/.zshrc&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;add alias by adding the following to the file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;pre tabindex="0"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
alias vlc=/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;ol start="3"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;save and close the file and run the following in terminal&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;pre tabindex="0"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
source ~/.zshrc
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;ol start="4"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;restart terminal session and run &lt;code&gt;vlc&lt;/code&gt; to ensure it worked&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
