In their own words
Riverside Video Editor
Riverside Video Editor is an online editor for conversations, podcasts, webinars and interviews. Its transcript-based editing lets users remove a line or correct a word and apply the change to the video. Recordings made in Riverside and uploaded files can have separate tracks for each speaker. One-click tools cover speaker layouts, eye contact, audio enhancement and B-roll generation, alongside a timeline for editing. Teams can share files, assign roles, comment and give feedback in the editor. Edited timelines can be exported as XML for Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro. Listed integrations include Spotify for Creators, Spotify, Transistor, Castos, HubSpot, Salesforce and webinar webhooks. Riverside supports web, macOS, iOS and Android, and its app supports editing on a phone. Computer recording works in Chrome, Edge and Safari; Linux computers are unsupported for recording. The free plan includes two hours of multi-track recordings as a one-off, up to 720p, a watermark and 44.1 kHz audio. Paid pricing starts at $15.00 per month billed annually; Pro is $24.00 per month billed annually, and a 14-day trial is available.
