Hollywood Editor Tests 12 CapCut AI Features: Dear God
A former Hollywood editor runs every CapCut AI tool through a live test and issues blunt pass/fail verdicts.
June 6thThe argument in one line.
Riverside turns one recorded conversation into a finished multi-format content package (edited episode, social clips, show notes, captions, blog post) almost entirely through AI-driven, text-based editing rather than traditional timeline scrubbing.
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
- You host or co-host a podcast, webinar, or livestream and currently pay an editor or spend hours cutting pauses and filler words by hand.
- You're a beginner who wants to publish a podcast but has never edited video and is intimidated by traditional NLE software.
- You want one recording to automatically produce short-form clips, show notes, and a blog post without a separate repurposing workflow.
- You're evaluating browser-based all-in-one podcast tools as an alternative to a disconnected stack of separate recording, editing, and clipping tools.
SKIP IF…
- You need frame-accurate manual color grading, multicam sync correction, or advanced VFX - this is a transcript-driven AI editor, not a professional NLE.
- You're only creating short-form vertical content from scratch (not derived from a longer recording) - the auto-clip and auto-b-roll features are built around long-form source material.
The full version, fast.
Riverside is a browser-based recording and editing platform built around the idea that a podcast, webinar, or livestream should require almost no manual editing skill. After recording (locally on each participant's device, then synced to the cloud so bad internet doesn't degrade quality), an AI pass called Magic Episode automatically removes pauses and filler words and finds the most attention-grabbing moment to use as a cold open. From there, a transcript-based editor lets you delete dialogue by deleting text, apply per-track audio cleanup, auto-switch camera layouts, correct eye contact, and insert auto-matched stock b-roll. The same source recording also auto-generates short vertical clips scored for virality, captions, branding overlays, and an AI co-writer that produces blog posts, titles, descriptions, and show notes from the transcript. Export supports up to 4K with normalization and watermark removal.

Lines worth screenshotting.
- Riverside records natively on each participant's own device and uploads to the cloud afterward, so a mid-call internet glitch doesn't degrade the final recording quality.
- The Magic Episode feature scans an entire episode's transcript to find its most provocative or attention-grabbing line and moves it to the front as an automatic cold open.
- Filler-word removal has three modes: cut the word and video entirely, silence the audio only, or a smart hybrid that picks whichever looks cleaner per instance.
- Auto-generated short-form clips ship with a 0-100 virality score baked directly into the clip picker, so creators triage which clips to post first.
- Auto b-roll insertion only works on source videos under five minutes long - a hard product limitation, not a settings toggle.
- Deleting a sentence from the on-screen transcript deletes the matching seconds from the video timeline - editing text edits the cut.
- A single eight-minute recording, in this demo, produced eight separate auto-generated short clips plus a full blog post from one prompt in the AI co-writer.
- The find fluff tool flags off-topic tangents as suggestions for review rather than auto-deleting them, keeping the host in the loop on borderline cuts.
What separates AI-assisted editing tools worth trusting from ones that need babysitting.
WHAT TO LEARN
The features that survive a real editing session are the ones with a visible dial or a review step, not a single silent auto-apply button.
- Automatic filler-word and pause removal is only trustworthy when it exposes an adjustable intensity slider, since a fully automatic pass at maximum settings routinely produces over 100 cuts and a choppy result.
- An AI tool that flags a tangent for human review, rather than auto-deleting it, respects that off-topic judgment calls are often wrong and preserves creator intent.
- Editing dialogue as text, where deleting a sentence removes the matching seconds, removes the biggest skill barrier for a beginner who has never touched a timeline editor.
- A tool that auto-finds the most attention-grabbing line in a full-length recording and promotes it to a cold open is solving a real, well-documented retention problem, not a gimmick.
- Feature limitations stated openly on camera, like a five-minute cap on auto b-roll matching, are a signal of an honest walkthrough rather than a marketing highlight reel.
- Recording natively per-device and syncing to the cloud afterward decouples recording quality from live internet conditions, which matters far more for remote guest interviews than most creators account for upfront.
- A single source recording can legitimately fan out into a finished episode, multiple scored short clips, captions, and written assets from one platform, but the tradeoff is depending entirely on one vendor's AI judgment across every stage.

metaphor
00:00Creating and editing a long podcast, webinar, or livestream used to be a a massive pain. You'd have issues like multiple speakers, long awkward pauses, mumbling guests, getting a bunch of stuff on the screen to actually look good and generating stuff like show notes.
00:17But that stuff is now super easy and super accessible to everyone thanks to Riverside and its AI editing features, which allow you to easily generate a podcast, a webinar, or a livestream even if you don't know how to edit.
00:33Whether you've been podcasting for years or you're a total beginner just thinking about maybe starting a podcast, I'm gonna show you how to take one recording and . We're talking the finished episode, multiple clips to upload on all the different social media platforms, show notes, the title, the description, the tags.
00:54Everything you need to do can be done right here in Riverside. Riverside is primarily a browser based app that does everything for you. There is a downloadable studio you can use for part of the process, but everything we're gonna do today is going to be done in a browser.
01:09I've got Chrome here on my computer. And when you open Riverside, you get this screen right here. I'm gonna walk you through all the basics, not the fancy stuff, just what you need to get started.
01:19And you can download a free trial of Riverside using the link below and use my coupon code Trevor right there on the screen to get a free month of pro. On your home screen, you have a bunch of options.
01:30You can record a brand new show. You can upload a file. You can drop a file here and give it instructions.
01:35Just type. You don't have to even know how to edit. You can just start editing what you've got, plan a recording, host a webinar, or even go live.
01:43Let me quickly show you how to easily record a podcast. We simply click on record here, and it opens up the studio, which gives you options.
01:53And here's me on the camera. Let me adjust myself so I'm framed properly. If you wanna look like a pro, never do this because it looks like you don't know what you're doing.
02:03You want your head near the top of the frame, so adjust it accordingly. And here in this studio, which is Trevor's studio, you name it whatever you want. You can call yours Trevor's studio too.
02:14I I don't care. Here, I choose which camera I wanna use. I've only got one real camera available.
02:19I choose the speaker here, and I'll use my MacBook Pro, and I can test it. And I use my MacBook Pro microphone because this microphone is going into my camera, that one right there. You also wanna tell if you're using headphones or not.
02:30And typically, would say, yes, try to use headphones. In fact, for this little demo, demo, I'll throw these headphones in. You really want a wired headphone because there's a little bit of latency or delay with wireless ones, but they they work okay.
02:41Now with my headphones in, make sure we've got okay. Those headphones are on. The mic's not right.
02:45Let me change that to my AirPods. Bam. Using headphones.
02:49Yes. Yes. I'm on headphones.
02:52And, yeah, it's got them. And I hit join studio, and now we're ready to start recording. Now in this case, I'm the only guest, but you can add guests super easily.
03:01They don't need anything. They can use their laptop, a desktop with a camera, or even an iPhone.
03:06If they're using their desktop, you just use the browser. You don't need to download anything. And if you're using your phone, you download the Riverside app, which is available for both Android and Apple.
03:17If I wanna have a guest, I would just click right here and copy and paste that link and send it to them or send them an email. And I can even have an in person guest right here and manage them. And I'm just gonna delete that right now because there are no guests with me.
03:31But in a second, I'll show you how to edit a podcast with a guest because that's where this really shines. I can also select echo cancellation, so the speaker and the microphone don't don't echo.
03:41If you are gonna actually read a script, it does have the ability right down here to to have a script, so the words will show up right down here. You can just copy and paste whatever you want up there. So you can read it as you go and use its teleprompter.
03:53We're not gonna use that for this one. I'm just gonna talk to you like a regular human being on one of these one of these cameras. If you want this to be a livestream, you simply click on livestream right there.
04:04And you have some other features right here. Again, you can mess with your audio and video. You can share screens.
04:10You can have reactions, reactions, which which I'll I'll show show you you in a minute. Here's the script teleprompter I just told you about. And we can change the layout if there's more stuff on the screen live while you're doing this.
04:19Now let's go ahead and go live, and I'll show you how to do a couple things while we're filming. Gonna click record, and it gives you a countdown all the way to one.
04:29Gotta get my headphones in there. Right? Hey.
04:31Welcome to the show. It's Trevor. What can you do while it's live?
04:34Well, you can have a chat here and talk to other people that are in this livestream in this webinar. You can add your own branding.
04:42Here, I've added my own logo. You can adjust where the logo is positioned. Watch and see if there's logo there.
04:47Logo there. I can choose my brand colors so that the background of the outline turns purple, which I've chosen. You can change the background completely, and you have several other options, including stylizing your name.
04:58See, there's my name. I'm the guest. The other guests' names would look just like that, except that they probably wouldn't say Trevor.
05:05One of the best things about Riverside is that no matter what resolution shows up in the cloud, because with a slow Internet connection, the resolution's gonna be lower. It records natively on your computer and on the device that any guests are using, and it automatically uploads it all to the cloud so that when you're editing, you have high quality video up to four k depending on the device that you recorded on.
05:30That's a big deal. Even if the Internet glitches out a little bit, you're still gonna have high quality footage when all the stuff is loaded up to the cloud. When you're done, you just hit stop, and the the episode is recorded.
05:43Now let me show you how to edit a podcast using a podcast I previously recorded using the AI video editing features built into Riverside. Now if I was editing this one that we're looking at, I would just say go to project, but I'm not gonna go to this project. I'm gonna go to a prior project by hitting the home screen, which is going to show me all of my projects.
06:01One thing that's really important you should tell your guests when you're recording your podcast or your webinar, your livestream, make sure that your guests leave the application open until everything's uploaded to the cloud so it can all get synced up. There's a way to upload it later, but it's kinda easier if everybody just leaves their app open until the uploads are complete.
06:19Back on the home screen, we have all of our projects. We can click show more to see more of them. And this is the podcast we wanna work on.
06:27I'm just going to click on it to show you the next screen. In this projects tab, we can see these are the different elements that were used during the creation of the podcast.
06:36And down here are all of the tracks. You can actually download the tracks locally if you wanted to edit them using another app, which I wouldn't recommend. Just edit it here.
06:45It's gonna be so much easier. If we click on the made for you tab, we have video content that Riverside automatically generates for you.
06:55The first thing is a magic episode, which does a first pass of cleaning up your entire episode. This episode was eight minutes and something long.
07:03It's down to eight or down to seven twenty one by removing pauses, filler words, and the like. And you can adjust it here and say, hey. How much do you want to adjust and modify things?
07:13And it gives you other effects, and we'll cover most of these in the editing section here. But it does this part automatically, and it also creates magic clips for any podcast.
07:24You wanna put out multiple clips out on YouTube and TikTok and Instagram, short form content to drive people to your long form content.
07:32And these magic clips automatically pull parts of your podcast that are usable as standalone. And you have the option to edit these or immediately just share them. And up here at the top of each one, it gives you a virality score.
07:46Like, 99 is great. That's about as good as it gets. This one, you know, could slay.
07:50It tells you of, you know, how worth it is to publish these, and a 90 virality score is great. So and you've got, you know, several options. From that one eight minute video.
07:59It pulled out eight eight clips. It also automatically generates posts for you like a blog post, Instagram captions, and it gives you snapshots of some of the best moments that you can use for other social media posts if you need still images. So it automatically does all that stuff, which is super helpful.
08:16Under here are your edits. We haven't edited anything yet. And over here are your exports, which will show up once we've exported.
08:21Now we're gonna go back to made for you, and we're gonna start with this version that already started the magic episode. I'm going to edit this one because it's already started doing some of the heavy lifting. So I simply click on edit, and it opens up.
08:34Here in the editor, we can see that Riverside is a transcript based editor, meaning that you can edit using text. You don't have to really edit in the traditional video way. And you might be confused.
08:43Like, why is all of the text grayed out? And it says final thoughts and conclusions. What's going on here?
08:48Well, that's because, you know, when you watch a podcast, the very thing you hear at the top of a an episode is the most intriguing part of the podcast. Well, Riverside finds that for you and edits it for you. And let's see what Riverside chose for the most interesting part of this podcast that might stir up the most controversy.
09:08One question I think that everyone wants to know is how much better is it to get a purebred dog from a breeder to exactly what you're getting as opposed some unknown dog from a shelter? So I recognize that this is rage bait, and I will not be engaging further. This is actually pretty funny because Rachel worked at a shelter for a long time, and she's very much into rescuing dogs.
09:29And I I did that on purpose just for fun. But the cool thing is Riverside picked up on it. So with the magic episode, it added that intro for us, and it edited the rest of it right here.
09:41You see a bunch of things happening that it's done automatically. Now you might be able to export this and use it as is. It might have gotten everything right, but I would for sure watch it first.
09:51We're not gonna do that. We're gonna show you what you can do here to make this perfect and pristine. So let's go over here to the right panel and go under AI tools.
10:00Under AI tools, I have all of these features. The first one is remove pauses. This was applied in the magic episode, but I can adjust it.
10:08Using this slider, I can choose to leave in longer pauses, and that just removed four pauses, which was twenty two seconds. If I drag it all the way to the right, it's gonna not leave any room for pauses, and that'd be a 105 pauses cut, so it'd be probably pretty choppy.
10:25It's probably safer to leave it somewhere here in the middle, like there or there. Let's go with I'm not patient. Let's go with 30 pauses removed.
10:32We can also go back to the original if we want. I will close that guy. Next, I can remove filler words.
10:37It says all the filler words have been removed, but I can adjust how it does it. It will either cut the words completely, video and words, or just silence the words or some version of it. The smart version does a version of both, whichever is best.
10:50It decides. I don't like that. I would rather just cut them, so I changed it to cut.
10:55And I can decide how sensitive, like, minimally sensitive or just cut the heck out of it and get rid of all of the extra filler words, all the ums and the ahs. And bam. That's done.
11:06And it might be a little choppy. You can adjust this later on. Next, we can find fluff.
11:10That's when we're talking about stuff that maybe shouldn't be in the podcast. You can kinda figure that out. If I click on find fluff, it says we found one part that can be cut.
11:18Review and apply as you go. So I'm gonna review it, and I'm gonna see it's like, oh, about my dog. I do have a dog background.
11:24I was thinking, sorry. Blah blah. Um, she was joking about her background being a dog.
11:31I said she had a background in dogs, and she thought I meant there was a dog behind there. So we could apply it or ignore it. And I think it's kinda fun, so I'm just gonna ignore it and just leave it in there.
11:39Next, we have magic audio, which cleans up the audio. It enhances it and makes it sound way more professional. It does things like remove the background noise, make the levels more consistent, make the audio sound more studio.
11:51And if we click on it, we can see that it's applying that to all of the audio tracks. Like, all the audio tracks, it was only you and Rachel speaking.
11:58Well, actually, I added some sound effects in there so they each get their own track. If I click on that, I can see the sound effects that I added, and it can apply that to the sound effects. Doesn't matter.
12:08I'm gonna turn it off for the sound effects. But for me and Rachel, I'm going to keep it, like, in the middle somewhere. If I had it all the way up, it would sound too artificial.
12:17Probably, can test it when it's done, and it's gonna take a minute to do because it's doing cleanup on the entire thing. And it and it does greatly enhance the audio even if your guest has background noise and kids in the background. It's gonna just sound much better if you apply a little bit of magic audio.
12:32Next, we have smart layouts, which automatically adjust the layout of the speakers and the other elements that appear on screen, such as photos and videos. We can have it switch back and forth frequently if we drag the slider to the right or less often if we drag the slider to the left.
12:47We can adjust whether it's going to switch back and forth to all speakers sometimes or just always focus on the speaker that's speaking. And that's a pretty cool feature.
12:56I like to switch back and forth a lot to keep it interesting, so I'm gonna drag it to the Next, we have eye contact. If you click on this guy, hit apply. If I'm not looking at the screen, it's gonna make me look at the screen all the time by adjusting my eyes and my pupil.
13:09So I'm always looking at the not the screen, but the camera, That thing. My eyes right here. Because if they were over here, it it would move over there.
13:17The last AI feature that's pretty cool is we can have it auto generate b roll. We're talking about dogs. It can throw dogs up there, whatever.
13:23Only works for videos that are under five minutes, and this one is just a little bit too long. Next, let's look at the transcript based editing. Over here on the left, we see a transcript of the entire episode.
13:34Now if we wanted to find a word that was maybe misspelled, we can just search for it.
13:39Let's go to Clarity. That's her dog's name. And then it shows me Clarity.
13:43If I click on that, I can correct it and say, oh, no. The name is actually with a k.
13:49That's not true, but we're gonna pretend. Clarity. And I can say correct it here, correct it everywhere, and it'll correct it everywhere with the correct spelling.
13:56And I can also delete entire sentences, phrases, everything just by deleting. If I wanna get this rid of this entire paragraph, I would just select all of it.
14:05And watch what happens. I delete it here by hitting the trash can or delete on my keyboard. Bam.
14:10And it deletes it out of the timeline. Gone. Now for beginners, this makes editing way less scary.
14:14You don't even have to watch the video. Just delete stuff you don't want to say. And for people that are more proficient at editing, it gives you a really good start, and then you can manually tighten things up as needed.
14:23Let's look at layouts again real quickly. It will automatically adjust the layouts like it's done here, or I could click on layouts and say, you know what? I don't want that laid.
14:31I want it to be something a little bit different. I could you choose smart layouts where it figures it out, or I could choose picture in picture, which looks like that. It has both of us down there.
14:41I was speaking, or I could use a split screen like this, show the speaker here and these guys smaller, or a grid view like this, like it chose automatically, you can make it look really professional very easily.
14:53Next, let's talk about captions. You simply click on captions, and it's the easiest caption generator I've ever seen. These are your options.
15:01You click on that one. I like that one a lot. I would probably just use it as is.
15:05Yes. That's sort of that's what we're doing per per I think that looks great, but you can click on it. You can move it around, and you can change the colors and font and all kinds of things to make it look even better to your taste and style.
15:18If you wanted to add b roll or other items to this other video after the fact that you didn't happen to get during the show, you can add your media. Here, you just click on your media and go, oh, I forgot to show this cool thing here. And so I double click and add it there, and there it is, and I can move it around, whatever.
15:34It's super easy to add b roll and other video and still images to your podcast or webinar. Next, we have audio.
15:44You can easily add audio. It's got a bunch of built in royalty free music, or you can add your own by hitting upload. You can click on it and play it and see, do I like that?
15:53And then I can, you know, decide I wanted to start, you know, right there maybe, and and then just hit that little plus sign, and then bam. At the very beginning, we have. Sorry.
16:02I was thinking that The past. Like, I see it. I see it.
16:07Pretty cool. Right? In addition to still images, we can click on videos, and it has stock videos at your disposable to add.
16:14Watch it add the images as you go just by simply clicking on them, and you can click on them and move them around and position them and scale them wherever you want, or you can just hit this trash can and delete them. But just to have this many royalty free videos available to you automatically, knowing we're talking about dogs, it just it just found them for us.
16:32One thing we haven't looked at is branding. We did it during the live recording. We didn't add it here, but I've added my brand elements, my logo, my color, the textile.
16:42I can hit apply brand, and bam, it adds my logo here, and it adds that speaker color. When speaker's talking, it'll turn purple around them. And there are other options that you can add for your brand.
16:53You can have your own captions that you like, so it'll automatically apply that stuff. Once you set it up, boom. It's just one click to do all of these things.
17:00Things. With captions and branding and a cool layout and music and added videos and photos, this can look like a real show instead of a Zoom call gone wild.
17:13When you create a podcast or webinar, you might wanna transcript to the whole thing. It's all here. You have access to it.
17:19You might want to create show notes. You might wanna create a blog post or need descriptions or tags or titles, whatever. All of that stuff is built right in here.
17:28You simply go to cocreator, and you can type in something like, I don't know, this and hit go.
17:34You wait a few seconds and bam. Here's an entire blog post including the title. Use it, copy, And you paste it into your blog, and bam, you're done.
17:43The same thing works for titles, descriptions, tags, any text based anything you need, this can generate for you, including the entire show. You can just say create show notes. It'll do that too.
17:54Now when you're done, you wanna watch the whole thing, see if you love it, tweak it as you go, delete, add words back, whatever you need to do to make this thing rock, and you simply hit share, and it takes you to the export settings where I can choose the format.
