Riverside

Riverside is an AI-assisted online studio that records podcasts and video in up to 4K with local separate tracks, edits via transcript, repurposes into clips and thumbnails, streams live and publishes to major platforms.

Riverside is an online studio for recording, editing, repurposing and distributing podcasts, interviews, webinars and other video content. It targets podcasters, YouTubers, marketing teams and businesses that want polished output without a production crew, and it runs largely from the browser, with a Mac app and mobile options also listed on the site. Recording is the foundation. The platform captures up to 4K video and uncompressed audio locally on each participant's device, so the result is not degraded by a weak internet connection. Every speaker is saved as a separate track, available as WAV or MP4, which gives editors room to remove crosstalk or change layouts later. Live streaming to several destinations at once is also offered, along with publishing directly to YouTube, Spotify and Apple. Editing centres on a text-based editor that works like a document: search, cut, copy and paste in the transcript to change the video. AI features sit on top of that workflow. They include noise removal and audio polish, filler word and silence removal, eye contact correction, automatic layouts that follow the active speaker, B-roll generated from a prompt, and translation and dubbing into more than 30 languages. A speech correction feature lets users change the transcript and have voice and lips adjusted to match. Brand kits store logos, colours, intros and outros, and animated captions can be applied in one click for short-form clips. For repurposing, an AI Co-Creator and Magic Clips produce clips, posts, thumbnails and headlines, plus transcripts and show notes, tailored to each channel. Thumbnail generation is one part of a broader suite rather than a standalone function. Among alternatives, Riverside competes with browser recording studios and with transcript-driven editors. Its pitch is covering the whole path from recording to publishing in one product, which suits teams that would otherwise stitch several tools together. A free plan exists, and further plans are described on the pricing page.
