Lightbox Feature
Lightboxes are personalized repositories in which you can store materials you want to save and make easy to retrieve. The short video below will walk you through how to use them.
Clipping Feature
Another feature that is enabled when you register is the ability to create custom clips using the No Boundaries videos, with start and end-points of your choice. Once created, video clips will show up under the video asset when you are logged into the site, or they can be saved to a Lightbox. The short video below will walk you through how to make custom clips.
Playlist Feature
The Playlist Feature allows you to order and sequentially play full videos as well as your custom clips. This feature is designed with educators in mind, to make it easy to curate and play back the video materials of your choice. The short video below will walk you through how to use the Playlist Feature.

To make similarities and differences clearer, we have created a compare feature that allows you to play two videos or video clips side-by-side.
