Hello Hunters, I'm Guy from Showbox (https://showbox.com) and I'm really excited to finally share with you what we've been working on. We developed Showbox to enable anybody to create studio-quality video content. Showbox is a cloud-based solution that transforms video creation into a simple, scalable process that gives you beautiful results you couldn't achieve beforehand. We tried to cover everything needed to create a video, in a way that allows you to go from idea to a professional looking video in a matter of minutes - and without requiring any fancy equipment or prior expertise. Check out this short intro video to get a better feeling of what Showbox is:

Some of the things that Showbox offers in order to make video creation accessible to all: - Show formats: our formats are the storytelling "blueprints", which guide you through specific steps for the video you want to create. For example a top 5 countdown, a video to showoff your apartment for AirBnb, or even just you talking about a subject for 60 seconds. - A library of graphic packages, all created by professional video artists, that give your video a professional look & feel - Background replacement (“keying”) without having to use a green screen! - Free-to-use licensed content libraries (from Getty images/videos, ShutterStock, and more) - Automatic audio mixing and recording a voice-over - Import your own content from Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, etc. The platform is free of charge for individual creators, while we monetize it by creating personalized versions for brands and publishers. I'm so excited to see what the Product Hunt community thinks! If you have any questions that you want to send me privately, I'm guy AT showbox DOT com and @guy on Twitter

@guy @showbox congratulations! This has come a long way since I first saw your site 6 months ago. Have you thought about creating a publisher platform like Medium?

@sidtech yes definitely Manish. When you create a video on Showbox we have an uploader that lets you publish natively to Youtube and Facebook. From there it's just a regular video on your channels that you can monetize.

@prcary Thanks Paul! We are laser focused on turning high-quality video creation into something that everybody can do. It's not an easy task so at this point that's the only thing we are putting all our efforts towards.

This really feels like a game changer. Congrats Showbox team! What use cases are you most excited about and what premium features can we expect in the future?

@jhtdc thanks Jason! We're most excited about just seeing people create awesome looking videos for whatever their needs are (YouTube stars, businesses, brands). This is something that has always been way too hard to do without expensive production crews and it's about time that "regular" people are able to do it. So our main goal is to give creators everything they need so that they can come out with a professional quality video. Like I wrote in my first comment, brands and publishers are where we're seeing the biggest potential in terms of revenues so premium features will be aimed for them.

Looks pretty cool, I think your on-boarding/tutorial isn't doing justice to the actual product though... If I'd just stumbled upon this and didn't see anything except the first part, I wouldn't try it again, and that's too bad because for a lot of people it can be a very useful thing :)

@_annacates thanks for the feedback Anna. I must say I totally agree, our tutorial is not even close to what we want it be, and definitely doesn't do us justice. We're actually working on improving it (already in development) but since we're a small startup we needed to move fast and get things out there. As you probably experienced, once you create a show after the tutorial you get to experience much more of the product and its capabilities. Thanks for helping out!

@guy @_annacates +1 for the tutorial sucking big time. In fact, I didn't even realise it was a tutorial as I was going through it - I just thought this was the actual app and was so incredibly disappointed. It wasn't until the last screen that it says "click next to finish tutorial" (or somesuch)

Awesome product! I think the comments make it clear - this is a game changer. What features do you have in mind for the next version?

@guyklr thanks! We have a whole slew of things lined up. In the nearest release we have some features for brands to control their Showbox campaigns. And of course improving our onboarding experience which is currently not good enough. The entire tutorial is going to change. That's just off the top of my head.

Love the idea - what plugin is needed to record from cam? In Chrome (64bit) I get a "Couldn't load plugin" message

@almackin you don't need to install anything to use Showbox. You may have a problem with Flash (ugh). Just try restarting your browser. The good news is that Chrome finally supports MediaRecorder API so we are in the midst of developing support for that.

Well done, strong library of stock creative assets out of the gate - no small feat. Project manager and overall UI is easy to understand and familiar if you are already using other leading design or prototyping web-apps. Based on the Gaming example, I'm assuming this could also support screen recordings of a desktop computer of smartphone - not sure if plans for specific 'templates' for these scenarios are in the works? Keep it up!

@jydesign thanks James! Screen recording is not something we have at the moment but if the need arrises we could add it
