NewTake vs Riverside Video Editor

NewTake is an iOS app that turns long recordings into shorter captioned clips by trimming rambling, dead air, and false starts. On the iPhone, scene detection, speech transcription, and quality scoring use Apple’s on-device machine learning. You describe the intended story in one sentence, and that guidance informs each keep-or-cut decision. Every scene shows the decision and its reasoning; cuts can be overridden, and trims remain visible and reversible. Captions appear word by word with speech and can be edited or removed with one tap. The built-in music library is available on every plan and can lower music while you speak. NewTake combines camera-roll clips from different cameras and formats. Finished videos save to Photos, are share-ready, and have no watermarks. The maker says video and audio stay on the iPhone; transcript text is sent securely for recommendations and is not stored. A typical video takes about a minute to analyze. Free includes three AI-edited videos monthly; Pro includes unlimited videos.

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.
