I agree that it will most likely be at the end of an act. I'm not so sure about the end of act one though, but do not dispute it. The Black Soulstone cinematic actually has a little more to it than in that video. The first cinematic trailer that we were shown has a missing piece of it.
I'm gonna go ahead and predict this now: the black soulstone is the meteor that hit the cathedral. It was stated the beta ends when you beat the skeleton king, because almost immediately afterwards you find the meteor. You recover this object and take it to Leah, and she studies it. There may be more hooblah in between finding it and the cinematic, but Act I seems to be taking place before Azmodan's invasion, which in the cinematic he shows to Leah in a dream.
When exactly the cinematic takes place, I have no idea. Perhaps the maiden of Lust found it first, because it was also stated that Belial and Azmodan are ahead of the player in their scheming. This would lead to you chasing her down, killing her, and taking the stone back to Leah. Then she studies it and we get the cinematic at the end of Act I. They did say that parts of it were edited out to avoid major spoilers, so the key sections that connect it into a definite part of the storyline could be missing.

Just wondering what speculation people have of when this soulstone cinematic will occur when you play the game?
To me it does not look like the opening cinematic when you start the game. But might be after or during one of the Acts
for reference this is it:
