In-vision and signing services

British Sign Language (BSL) users represent the largest audience in the disability spectrum and are often under-represented in business videos. At Matinée, we can offer the inclusion of in-vision (or signing) services – a qualified BSL signer added to your video presentation to expand your market even further.

With a roster of different signers available, we can even help you choose one whom you feel best represents your company.

If you are a translation agency, then working with a subtitling company gives you the opportunity to add video translation services to your already extensive repertoire and meet the ever-expanding needs of your clients.

Our in-house team of audio engineers and video editors can take care of the technical work involved in your client’s project. You provide the translation and we’ll look after the rest ensuring that together, we’ll deliver a package that exceeds the client’s expectations.

Case study: Malaysian subtiltling for Cape plc

As one of the UK's premier subtitling companies, Matinée Multilingual were selected by Cape Plc to provide Bahasa Malaysia subtitling services for a series of 5 promo videos talking about the ‘integrity and values’ which are very important to Cape Plc’s business.

The videos totalled just under 8 minutes, and the client selected style option 2 for the Bahasa Malaysia subtitles. We were also asked to move the subtitle layer when title & name captions appeared on-screen so the subtitles obscure them (as you can see in this example).

Our process was as follows. First we transcribed the English audio and on-screen text. After approval, we produced the subtitling translations in Bahasa Malaysia, condensing the Bahasa Malaysia translation where necessary to fit in the screen safe area. Finally we synced and burnt-in the Bahasa Malaysia subtitles to MP4.
