Subtitle Tools With Timeline/Adjustable Chunking

I've been scouring videohelp.com but can't seem to find a direct answer - are there any subtitle programs/programs that can subtitle that would allow me to take existing subtitles and move whole chunks of them forwards or backwards along a timeline? Basically, I need something that could auto adjust the subtitles to account for scenes inserted earlier in a film. I want something that will let me insert a scene, add subtitles for that scene, and move all subtitles after that point forward along a timeline, so that I only need to sync them with any one portion of the film, so that they will all match. Does that make sense?

I actually tried searching for the type of program you're talking about a little while ago... unfortunately, I never did manage to find anything. I'll be sure to watch this thread in case someone else knows of one as I'd still really like a program like this. I mean, there are a few programmers on the forums... perhaps they'd be willing to try and write something? I'm not being naive as more ambitious projects have been talked about.

From the "Subtitle Workshop" manual (urusoft.net freeware)

2.9 Shift subtitles
This feature moves all the selected subtitles initial time a specified number of milliseconds forward/backwards, without modifying their duration. It is very useful to easily modify timings to synchronize with a movie. To shift selected subtitles forward, click the "Edit/Timings/Shift +X milliseconds" menu or the [Shift]+[Ctrl]+ keys. To shift selected subtitles backwards, click the "Edit/Timings/Shift -X milliseconds" menu or the [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[N] keys.

You set X in the settings.
I think with the split & join subtitle files feature this should let you do that ?

BTW Subtitle Workshop works only with text subtitles I thought you need something for *.sup files
