Masternewmedia tells you what you need to know.
Both Mojiti and BubblePLY will allow you take any video that has been published to the Internet - whether it is yours or someone else’s - and add your subtitles to it, before embedding the new version into your website. This makes them valuable free resources for anyone looking to subtitle Internet video for accessibility or foreign language purposes.
When it comes down to the crunch, Mojiti is slightly better suited to the task of subtitling for two reasons:
1. It allows you to change the colour, size and position of your subtitles, whereas BubblePLY has only a single preset
2. The ’spot organizer’ makes for a very useful way to navigate between the captions you have created given that you can read them before clicking through to the appropriate part of the video
This is in no way to disparage the capabilities of BubblePLY, which is perfectly capable of doing the job, but given that the two are very similar it is necessary to focus on these smaller details that make the difference in the subtitling process.
In short, either will make the task of subtitling your Internet video content a simple and painless one, and it is to both of their credit that this is now a task that can be undertaken entirely online.
