Riverside
AI-powered podcast and video recording platform. Studio-quality remote recording with local tracks, AI transcription, and automatic clip generation.
About Riverside
Riverside records each participant's audio and video locally, then uploads the high-quality files after the session. This means you get studio-grade recordings even when someone's WiFi is spotty — the quality doesn't depend on the internet connection during the call. For marketers running podcasts, webinars, or video interview series, that reliability is the whole reason to pick Riverside over Zoom or Google Meet. The AI features are where it gets interesting for content repurposing. Riverside automatically transcribes your recordings with solid accuracy, and the Magic Clips feature uses AI to find the most engaging moments and turn them into short-form clips ready for social media. You can edit the transcript and the video follows — text-based editing that makes cutting filler words and awkward pauses painless. It's a real workflow improvement if you're trying to turn one long recording into a week's worth of social content. The free tier is usable but limited to shorter recordings and fewer features. The $15/month Standard plan opens up longer recordings and better quality exports. Where Riverside struggles is with anything beyond recording and basic editing — if you need serious post-production, you'll still end up in Descript or a proper editor. The platform also occasionally has upload delays with large files. But for the core job of recording great remote audio and video and quickly cutting it into clips, Riverside nails it.
