SoapBox is a new tool that allows you to easily create video tutorials or record your computer screen. It allows to renew the genre with quality videos in which the trainer is honored.

SoapBox comes in the form of an extension for the Chrome browser which has become more and more difficult to escape. Once installed SoapBox allows you to record, edit and share quality videos in just a few minutes.

Soapbox works like other tools of the same type. A click on the extension and a video recording starts. Sopabox films in parallel two things. The first is the screen of your computer, the second is you via the webcam of your machine. But be careful here the video capture is of very good quality. Your face for example is not in the postage stamp format, but squarely in full screen.

The tool integrates and it is one of its peculiarities a video editor that will allow you to edit your video once it is recorded. A simple but effective editing studio that will help you to remove passages. It also incorporates a function of post production quite original which allows with a click to change from a view of the recording of your screen to a view of your face or to a split screen composed of the two shots put side by side. Once your video is finished, you can share it via email or social networks. Soapbox can not be downloaded to your computer. The tool guarantees you, by hosting the video itself, good quality broadcast. Another advantage is that you keep your hands on editing the video, which can be edited quickly even if it has already been shared.

SoapBox is a pro tool for serious projects. The free version allows you to make three complete videos. The paid version makes it possible to get rid of all the limits, but remains unaffordable for the world of education. A much more reasonable education fee would be very welcome. We will see if the creators of Soapbox, the company Vistia, hears the message.

Meanwhile SoapBox is a new tool that we will follow closely and that deserves to be tested if you have the time when creating your next video tutorial.
