MySubtitle 4+

So far, this is the best subtitle app I’ve come across. It allows me to actually have as many lines in a video as I want it to as well as each of them being able to be timed perfectly. This app has all of the basic needs for subtitling heightened to their best.

However, there are some important improvements I’d like to see. Particularly, being able to

• add a stroke(s) to text
• change the speed of text that transitions vertically/horizontally/diagonally
• completely duplicate specific text lines
• have a wider variety of text effects
• omit parts of text (like how Videoleap can hide some of a text box)

Please, it would be so great to see these improvements being added to this app!

I love this app so much! So reliable and makes my videos much more entertaining to watch. However, recently (since October 2019, from what I’ve noticed) it starts to crash every single time you move or add or edit a subtitle. It’s not the worst thing but it gets very annoying when you have a lot of subtitles to add. On top of that, videos don’t save. Today, I watched 9 grammarly ads in a row because they have you watch an ad before you can save a video (that much I don’t mind) but it does not even save to my camera roll anymore. I figured it had to do with the length of the video but it was only 3 minutes and 45 seconds long. These issues haven't happened if my video is about a minute long, but I don’t want to say that that exactly justifies it happening in the first place. In the two times that it did save to my camera roll, it saved without any subtitles and the audio no longer matched with the video. I got too used to this app so I won’t be ditching it anytime soon, I’d just like to know what’s wrong and if it can be fixed. :)

Easy to use. You do not have to be fluent in any particular language. 5 Stars because it's effective and simple to use on short clips.

BUT, it won't work on a feature-length movie. There is a lot of interest out in the luminiferous ether for an app that can edit Japanese subtitles WITH FURIGANA. This provides a solution for short clips. Onto a short clip I added a subtitle object and put the main, kanji text in one of its lines (either "upper" or "lower"). Then added a new object for the furigana. Again, either the "upper" or "lower" works. The second object is necessary in order to adjust independently the font sizes and positions of the furigana and kanji. Worked great!

Next I loaded a copy of Netflix's Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories. To make the file more educationally useful, I want subtitles in furigana, kanji, and English, concurrently. Easy with this app! Easy, that is, if the 23-minute video would load into the editor. But it won't.

iMovie will load the entire show, so it's not an OS limitation.
