A new subtitle editing program Slarti is now freely downloadable for MorphOS, but you can still donate to open downloads for other platforms or just show the support from MorphOS users (you can indicate your platform when donating).

Information from Slarti's home page:

This program was created to help making or modifying video subtitles. A subtitle file is contains the timing information of each text line which the video player can display while plays the movie. While the subtitle file is a simple text file, editing it manually can be very complicated.
This is where Slarti comes and help you.

Airsoft Softwair is proud to present the immediate availability of MUI Royale 1.4. The biggest new feature in MUI Royale 1.4 is the ability to run MUI Royale 1.4 on palette-based screens. If the Plananarama plugin is installed, it is also possible to open Hollywood displays next to MUI windows managed by MUI Royale. On top of that, MUI Royale 1.4 contains various bug fixes and adds support for some more MUI classes.

MUI Royale requires at least Hollywood 5.2 and is provided free of charge for all users of Hollywood. It is available for AmigaOS 3 (m68k), AmigaOS 4 (PPC), MorphOS (PPC), and AROS (x86). The package comes with over 20 example scripts, many of which are direct ports from the MUI 3.8 SDK by Stefan Stuntz, but there are also original developments like demonstrations of how to create a video player using the combined power of Hollywood and MUI. On top of that MUI Royale comes with extensive documentation in over 300 PDF pages which are also available in the HTML, AmigaGuide, and CHM formats thanks to the Hollywood documentation system.

All this makes MUI Royale the truly royal MUI experience, carefully crafted for you Kings and Queens of MUI!

On a sidenote, MorphZone was altered to refuse Yahoo email addresses for new user registrations in 2014. This simple step helped to cut down the total amount of spam registrations by 90+ percent.
