Big Idea

The argument in one line.

Riverside's editor lets you edit a recording by deleting text in the transcript, cutting directly on the timeline, or chatting with an AI agent, and every AI automation works across all three methods at once.

Who This Is For

Read if. Skip if.

READ IF YOU ARE…

You record podcast or interview conversations and want one tool that handles transcript-based cuts, multicam layouts, and short-clip generation without exporting to a separate NLE.
You're evaluating Riverside, or a similar AI-editing tool, and want to see the actual interface before signing up.
You produce long-form talking-head or interview content and want to automate pause removal, filler-word cleanup, and speaker-based camera switching.

SKIP IF…

You need frame-accurate color grading, VFX, or multitrack audio mixing — this is a conversation/clip editor, not a full NLE.
You already use Riverside daily and know the interface — this is an onboarding walkthrough, not an advanced-tips video.

TL;DR

The full version, fast.

Riverside's editor is built around three connected ways to edit a recording: deleting or moving words directly in the transcript (which cuts the timeline to match), editing clips manually on a multitrack timeline, or chatting with an AI agent called Co-Creator that can find moments, mute filler talk, and build clips on request. A dedicated AI-tools panel automates pause removal, filler-word cleanup, audio cleanup, speaker-based camera switching (Smart Layouts), and forced eye contact. Layouts, branding, and transitions handle the visual side, while a Made For You tab auto-generates full episodes, short clips, show notes, and captions from every recording, ready to export in whatever aspect ratio a given platform needs.

Chapters

Where the time goes.

00:00 – 01:20

01 · What the Riverside editor does

Cold open framing the editor as built for conversations and talking-head videos — podcasts, interviews, tutorials, marketing — turning recordings into long- and short-form content with optional AI assistance.

01:20 – 01:38

02 · Starting a project

Three entry points: open the edit button on an existing recorded project, or start fresh and choose Record, Upload, or select from My Files.

01:38 – 04:00

03 · Editor tour and text-based (transcript) editing

Tour of the video canvas, timeline, transcript panel, toolbar, project nav, and Co-Creator panel, then a demo of deleting/restoring/undoing text in the transcript and using 'keep only this' to isolate a clip.

04:00 – 07:40

04 · Timeline editing: tracks, split, trim, zoom

Collapsed vs. separated tracks, splitting a clip with the S key, deleting a section from the timeline (with restore still available), and dragging edit-point edges to trim.

07:40 – 10:20

05 · Copy/paste clips, transcript-timeline search sync, and canvas layouts

Copying and pasting clips in both the transcript and timeline, searching a topic in the transcript to jump to every matching timeline moment, then swapping camera positions and cropping the canvas, with 'similar scenes' to propagate a layout fix.

10:20 – 14:30

06 · AI tools: pauses, filler words, audio, layouts, eye contact

Remove Pauses, Remove Filler Words, Magic Audio, Smart Mute, Smart Layouts (with style/frequency/cutaway/frame controls), and Eye Contact, plus per-track fine-tuning.

14:30 – 17:30

07 · Branding, per-scene fine-tuning, transitions, and design

Adding a logo and hex-coded brand colors, solo-speaker layout swaps, trimming when a speaker's video starts, adding crossfade transitions, and the design tab's corner radius, spacing, and background options.

17:30 – 19:20

08 · Media & overlays: music and stock video

Adding a stock outro music track from a ready-made collection, fading and trimming its volume so it enters gradually, then adding a stock end-screen video with slide-in animation.

19:20 – 21:10

09 · Co-Creator AI chat editing and Made For You assets

Using Co-Creator to execute plain-language edit requests and generate a clip on demand, then a look at the Made For You tab's auto-generated full episode drafts, short clips, show notes, blog posts, and social captions.

21:10 – 23:58

10 · Export, sharing, aspect ratios, and podcast hosting

Export settings (quality, watermark, audio normalization, noise removal), the exports/share page, re-exporting at a different aspect ratio per platform, and Riverside's bundled podcast hosting, analytics, and content planner.

Atomic Insights

Lines worth screenshotting.

Riverside's transcript and timeline are fully synced — deleting text removes it from the timeline, and searching a word in the transcript highlights every matching clip on the timeline.
Deleted transcript sections aren't gone — they stay retrievable so you can restore them, or use control+Z to undo a cut.
Separating tracks lets you cut one speaker's audio without touching the other's video, but it also risks pushing tracks out of sync — collapsed tracks stay simpler for most edits.
Smart Layouts automatically switches camera angles based on who's talking, and Riverside recommends a lower switch frequency for long-form content and a higher one for short-form.
Eye Contact, an AI tool that redirects a speaker's gaze to the camera, takes significantly more processing time and can look unnatural in casual podcast setups, so it fits corporate or training video better.
Remove Filler Words can either mute the ums and uhs or cut them out entirely, and by default it skips b-roll and screen-share sections unless you opt in.
Selecting a section of the transcript and choosing 'keep only this' instantly turns any part of a long recording into an isolated clip.
The Made For You tab auto-generates a full episode draft, short-form clips, show notes, blog posts, and Instagram captions from a single recording the moment it's uploaded.
Applying a layout change to 'similar scenes' propagates one camera-position fix to every other moment in the timeline that uses the same layout, instead of requiring manual repeats.
Riverside's Co-Creator AI agent can execute editing requests in plain language, like removing every mention of a specific topic, or generate a clip about a specific moment on request.

Takeaway

Three editing paths that stay in sync

EDITING WORKFLOW

Cutting a conversation gets faster when the transcript, timeline, and an AI chat agent all edit the exact same underlying clip, so no method is ever the wrong one to start with.

02Starting a project

A new Riverside project can start three ways — resume an existing recording's edit button, upload a file recorded elsewhere, or launch a fresh recording studio session.

03Editor tour and text-based (transcript) editing

The transcript panel is the recording as a document — deleting words removes that span from the timeline, and every deletion stays reversible until you restore or undo it.
Highlighting a transcript section and choosing 'keep only this' turns any excerpt of a long recording into an isolated standalone clip in seconds.

04Timeline editing: tracks, split, trim, zoom

Collapsed tracks keep every speaker in original sync automatically; separating tracks unlocks per-speaker muting and cutting but makes it possible to accidentally push audio and video out of sync.
Trimming an edit point is a drag on either side of the cut — pulling left brings the next section earlier, pulling right pushes it later — rather than deleting and re-cutting.

05Copy/paste clips, transcript-timeline search sync, and canvas layouts

Searching a word in the transcript highlights every instance of that topic across the whole timeline, turning a long recording into something you can navigate by subject instead of by scrubbing.
A camera swap or crop fix applied to 'similar scenes' propagates to every other moment using that same layout, instead of requiring a manual repeat at each cut.

06AI tools: pauses, filler words, audio, layouts, eye contact

Remove Pauses and Remove Filler Words both let you set a sensitivity threshold and choose mute-vs-cut, and both default to skipping b-roll or screen-share sections unless you opt in.
Smart Layouts auto-switches camera angles by who's talking — low switch frequency for long-form so it doesn't cut too often, high frequency for short-form for a faster pace.
Eye Contact re-aims a speaker's gaze at the camera, but it costs more processing time and can look unnatural in relaxed conversational formats — it fits scripted corporate or training video better.

07Branding, per-scene fine-tuning, transitions, and design

A logo, position, and hex-coded color palette applied in the branding tab carries forward to every export, so brand consistency doesn't have to be rebuilt per video.
Trimming when a speaker's video track starts, not just cutting their audio, lets someone stay off-screen until the moment they actually begin talking instead of showing a silent, static camera.

08Media & overlays: music and stock video

Adding stock music or video isn't just drag-and-drop — fading the volume in and pulling the clip back so it enters gradually is what keeps an outro track from feeling jarring.

09Co-Creator AI chat editing and Made For You assets

Co-Creator can execute plain-language edit requests, like taking out every time a topic came up, and generate specific clips on demand without manually scrubbing to find the moment.
The Made For You tab auto-generates a full episode draft, short clips, show notes, blog posts, and social captions the moment a recording is uploaded — all fully editable afterward.

10Export, sharing, aspect ratios, and podcast hosting

One recording can be re-exported at a different aspect ratio for each platform's layout needs, rather than re-editing the whole project from scratch for verticals versus widescreens.
Podcast hosting, distribution to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube, analytics, and a podcast website are bundled into paid plans at no extra cost, folding a normally separate hosting subscription into the editor.

00:00In this video, we're going to walk you through how you can turn your recording into polished content using the Riverside editor. It's built to be fast and powerful and give you the freedom and flexibility to create content in the way that you want, all while still being very simple to use. The Riverside editor is built for conversations and talking head videos, whether you're creating podcasts, interviews, tutorial videos like this one, marketing videos, etcetera.

00:23It helps you turn your conversation into high quality and long form and short form content really quickly and easily. And you also have AI to help you speed things up along the way, which gets you from recording to published content a lot faster. So let's get started and take a look and see how it works.

00:40First, you'll need a recording to work with, either when you record on Riverside directly or when you upload separately to edit later if you've recorded it in a different place. So to start editing, you have a couple of options. If you finish a recording and you've uploaded to Riverside, created the project and everything, you can just simply click on that project and it'll take you to the recordings And then you'll find the edit button right here, which will take you directly to the editor with the recording already opened and ready to work on.

01:07You can also go to the edit page directly from your dashboard. So if you select the edit button from here, this will start a brand new project fresh. So it'll ask you if you wanna upload a file directly if you have one already recorded.

01:19You can go to the recording studio and do a full session from there, or you can select a prerecorded file or edit that you already have on hand and start a new project from there. So the way we're going to do this right now, because I already have a recording done, I'm going to go to my projects, go into my recording, and go ahead and select the edit button from my main recording so that we can start fresh.

01:42And when the editor opens, you'll see your video tracks and transcripts are already loaded, so you can start editing right away.

01:52So let's take a quick look around at all the things that we see here. First thing to take note of is your video canvas, and this is going to show us what we're looking at at any given time. And below that is the timeline where you can split your clips, move sections, and arrange your content however you want.

02:07It's basically where the bulk of the work is happening. And later, you'll see how you can use expanded tracks feature and use multitrack editing to edit your recording with full flexibility and freedom.

02:17On this side over here, we have the transcript, which lets you edit your recording simply by editing the text, just like a document. And in this toolbar, you'll find the tools for media, branding, design and layouts, AI editing tools, and more.

02:31And to the left of that is your navigation menu or your project menu, which lets you move between different edits and media assets freely. And on the right side, you'll find co creator, the AI agent that helps you edit and create clips just by chatting. I'm gonna go ahead and close that out.

02:47And then up here, you'll be able to find where you can get direct chat support, the help center, and you can also send direct feedback about the editor straight to our product team and provide any other feedback you would like to provide. Now, are multiple ways to edit your content on Riverside. You can use the text based editing, meaning editing in the transcript like we discussed, and you can edit directly on the timeline.

03:10Or you can chat with co creator for a chat based editing experience. No matter which method you choose, the AI tools are available throughout the whole editing process. So they're there to help you whenever you need to work a little bit faster or enhance your content in some sort of way.

03:24And you can also offload most of the editing process on some of the AI tools if you'd like. You can just use the automatically generated assets like clips or full episodes and more. And they're created directly from your recordings.

03:40Now, let's actually dive into how we use all of these editing tools and the multiple different types of ways you can actually edit. Now, the first thing we wanna do before we fully start editing is just make sure we have as much real estate as possible. So, let's go ahead and close out this sidebar here of the project files.

03:54And now, let's just explore how we can use the transcript to edit our piece. So, first of all, we started recording before we actually did our little presentation here. So let's just say we go down to the part where we're actually starting to record, which is when we say, welcome to our annual recording of the replacement cast.

04:13So what I can do is I can just highlight all of our words here at the beginning. And then I can just go ahead and press delete to remove that from the timeline.

04:23Now, you'll notice that when I delete it, it removes it from the timeline. So if I Welcome to our it'll start the actual recording from here. But at any given point, we can go back and restore anything that we need to, and it'll add it right back into the timeline, which is really nice.

04:40And then if we made a change that we accidentally did, like that, maybe I didn't want to restore it, I can just do control z or command z to undo or I can select undo from here and that'll undo the change that we just made. And this is also a good way to pick out short clips or segments that you wanna use for other purposes or different clips.

04:59For example, if we wanted to just highlight this whole section here, I can just highlight that and then bring this down and select keep only this and that's going to take away everything else in the timeline and now we just have that little segmented spot to use for an individual clip. There are a number of different ways you can utilize the transcript to edit your content, but you can also just edit directly on the timeline.

05:20Now, when it comes to the timeline, I'm just gonna resize this window here to make this easier to see. But before you start editing in the timeline, it's important to know that you can either edit with your tracks collapsed like so, or you can expand them by separating them like this. And then this way, you can work on each track individually and cut out different sounds or different things that happen per track.

05:40Now, when you edit with the tracks collapsed, everything stays in sync as it's originally recorded. But when you use the separate tracks feature and you start moving things around, it is possible to move things out of sync like so.

05:55So it's just something to be mindful of as you're recording and you're editing. But it's also an advantage that you can have in case somebody was talking over another. So let's say we zoom in on this part by holding command on a Mac or control on Windows, and you can scroll in to the timeline like so, and it scrolls in wherever your mouse is at.

06:14So we can go ahead and scroll on on this spot. And let's just say we wanna remove this little talking bit here on the timeline. In this separate tracks feature, we can go ahead and split this.

06:25And the way that we split clips, there's two ways to do it. You can either select split from up here and that'll make the cut like so, or you can use a keyboard shortcut.

06:35So I'll go ahead and select this spot here and I can press s which will also do the same thing. And I have a couple options with this. I can either delete it from the timeline, which will also delete the video in conjunction with it as well, or I can just reduce the volume on it so that it's not heard at all.

06:53But the video remains there. So I can play this back and you won't hear him.

06:58Yeah. But Interesting. It still shows the video.

07:01So the separate tracks feature is great for more refined edits. But for overall editing and cutting your content together, the collapse track is going to be a much simpler and seamless workflow. Now, similar to the transcript editing, if there's a section that we wanna cut out of our timeline, we can just click and drag an in and out point on our tracks here.

07:21So let's just go ahead and select this point here. You'll see it highlighted in our transcript. We can go ahead and press delete.

07:28And just like when we removed it in the transcript, it still remains in there if we want to restore it later, but it also removes it from the timeline. And this is also a good time to point out trimming. So let's say your selection wasn't exactly as precise as you wanted to, you can go into where these edit points are and if you hover your mouse over either side of the edit point, you can either click and drag this left side to pull everything that's in front of it back or forward, or you can go into the right side and click and drag and move everything that's behind it backwards or forwards.

08:01Just so you can refine that edit exactly where you want it. So another thing you can do is copy and paste clips both in the transcript and in your timeline. The way to do it in the timeline is let's say we wanna copy this section right here, we can just go ahead and highlight it with our in and out points.

08:16Go ahead and copy it using the same shortcut. And then we can say let's say if we wanted to paste it right here, let's go ahead and split that, and then we can go ahead and paste it right in between that section. Or if we wanna just copy it and paste it at the end, we can avoid cutting it right there, and then just paste it and put it right at the end of our timeline if we wanna make a reel of stuff that we wanna be able to use later.

08:39And similarly, with the transcript, if we highlight in our transcript, you'll see that we can copy this or cut it, and then go ahead and scroll up to where we wanna paste it.

08:49Let's say we put it right here, we can go ahead and double click and it'll paste it right in between that section. The great thing about this whole workflow is that the timeline and transcript are fully connected.

08:59So if I wanted to search for something in my transcript so I can find it in the timeline, let's say I'm looking for one we were talking about saturation. It's a really easy way for me to go and find it and it highlights those points in my timeline as well so that I can scroll out and see every instance that we talked about that topic.

09:18Now, when we look at our video canvas, obviously, the position in which we're sitting in doesn't really look like it's framed correctly, and I might wanna switch the side that I'm on. So the good news is with our canvas, with our layouts, we can fully customize them however we want.

09:33One way to do this is by manually clicking and dragging them from one side to another and the canvas will automatically snap them in place on the edges. But since we just need to swap places, we can click and drag the center dot here over to the other camera and it'll swap their places automatically. And then if I need to move them in frame without moving the whole image, I can select them and then go to the crop tab and then I can just click and drag to position both of us right where we need to be in the center of the frame and that looks a lot better.

10:04Now, let's say I wanted to apply this change to every single time this layout was used, I could select similar scenes and after I select similar scenes, I can make whatever edits I want to in the layout and that'll apply to other scenes that have the same exact layout. Now, speaking of scenes, what actually is a scene? Well, in short, they're used to change how your video tracks appear in the canvas, and this is using the layouts like we just saw.

10:27So anytime you add a new scene in the timeline, this is the way you change from one layout to another. And in a minute, I'm gonna show you how smart layout streamlines this whole entire process.

10:39Now that we understand the essential functionality of the timeline, let's take a look at some of the AI tools that Riverside includes because they help fine tune the edits much faster and they take out a lot of that tedious work. So let's go over to our AI tools tab here and let's take a look at what each of these tools do.

10:56So first here, we have the remove pauses, which takes out the gaps in between people speaking so you can easily take out all the blank spaces or gaps in the timeline to keep the video moving and keep a steady pace. You can adjust how long a pause has to be before it gets taken out.

11:11And then if you have additional b roll or screen sharing in your timeline, it'll ignore these pauses by default unless you check this box here to apply to screen shares in media. Next is remove filler words, and this will take all the ums and uhs that you have throughout the timeline. And then you can go into this drop down and choose whether you want those fillers to be either just muted, completely cut from the timeline, or a combination of the two depending on the flow.

11:38And the checkbox here applies the same as remove pauses just for filler words. And then we have magic audio. Now, magic audio is really good for fixing problems with audio tracks, especially for those that don't have good microphones.

11:50So to remove background noise, it'll reduce reverb and echo, and it does some mixing to get your audio to sound a little bit more like a studio recording. And then you can adjust how much you want to blend the Magic Audio Mix to the original track here. So as an example, if you only needed a little bit of polish, you can bring the percentage much lower and that'll keep some of the original audio while mixing it with Magic Audio.

12:14And then smart mute will auto mute a track when they're not explicitly talking in case there's any random noise, breath sounds, or anything else that could interrupt who's speaking. Now, here's where we talk about smart layouts. Now, you saw a moment ago how scenes and layouts in the timeline worked, and smart layouts will go through the whole timeline and switch scenes based on who's talking, and it'll do that automatically.

12:37And this is potentially one of the biggest time savers of the whole editor, especially for really long form content. And it also gives us quite a bit of control over how and where it cuts. So if we look at our options here, the style allows us to choose what type of layout we're switching between, but we're gonna stick with smart for this example because that will adapt to the best between the types of layouts.

12:59And then the frequency determines how often the scenes will change. So usually with long form content, it's best to keep this lower so that it doesn't cut too frequently. And then for short form content, you can actually set it higher because that might be more desirable if you need something more fast paced.

13:13Then the cutaway will give you options to set which alternate view you want to use for an additional angle or layout. And then the video frame will set if you want the camera to fill the whole entire screen or if you want to fit the whole cameras in the frame. And lastly, we have eye contact.

13:28And this will attempt to fix your eyes on the camera. So if you're doing a talking head video similar to this one, but you're looking at a script below your webcam as an example, eye contact can keep your eyes fixed on the camera instead of your screen. And this is more of a niche use case and will definitely take a lot more processing time for longer form content.

13:45And for podcast setups like this one, it's probably not very beneficial because it could feel very unnatural. But it does have its practical use cases for other talking head content such as corporate videos or training videos.

14:00And then after that, if you need to fine tune some things on the individual track level a little bit more, you can select the tracks button and go into any one of your individuals or tracks, and then increase or decrease volume, change the magic audio, EQ, or any other color adjustments.

14:17And then you can go to your branding tab if you wanna add some logos or other assets. So let's just say we put in our replacement cast logo in here, so we can go ahead and select that. And then we can put it in a certain position.

14:30So let's say we want it to be in the bottom right. We can go in back here and if there's a certain color palette that we wanna use, we can add different multiple colors in here. So we can add like a certain blue or a certain whatever, and you can customize them by hex code.

14:46And you can go ahead and fine tune any of these other things to fine tune how the branding looks. And that way, you can just apply this to all of your content. So after you've customized the tools and branding to your liking, you can still go in and make more fine tune adjustments to the edit.

15:01And we'll see what you can do with scenes first. So if I zoom into this section here, right now we have just one person on the screen talking at one time. And then we have this part where both of us are on the screen at the same time, but maybe I just want him on there instead of both of us.

15:16So, I can select this part and then go to layout and then make sure it's set to solo speaker. In that way, it just stays on only him as the whole thing is And going another thing we can do with our scenes is we can also similarly trim, so I don't have to show myself until I start talking, which is over in this area.

15:35So if I just click and drag this trim over here, it'll keep him on the screen until I start talking as well. Right. Yep.

15:41That's great. I've had it and it's funny because I did that for a couple. And in addition, you'll notice that as we hover over these scenes, you'll see this transition button pop up.

15:49And this is a way we can actually just transition from one thing to another in a variety of different ways. The most common way is usually a fade. We'll call this a crossfade here, and you can change the duration of how long you want this to be.

16:02We can just go ahead and type this in manually to make it half a second, and then go ahead and add that transition there. So now, if we play this back Now, can just type. It's great.

16:12It'll transition as a crossfade. And speaking of scenes and layouts, we can also change our design of the layouts as well. If we go up to this design tab, we have corner radius spacing and background, the where we can add some corner radius to the corners of each of our individual tracks here, as well as some spacing if we wanted to put some gaps in between as well.

16:34And then a background that goes behind the images so that it can show something other than just black. And that background can be in either an image or a color as well. So if I select an image like so, you can see it puts it behind our video so that we don't have just a plain black background.

16:54Let's take a look at how to add some media and overlays into our timeline, either from the stock media that we already have or by generating it. So we're gonna start with our audio because I wanna add some music in here to outro this piece. So, I'm gonna go ahead and go to my ready made collections, and let's just go to business and tech, and maybe I wanna use one of these outro pieces.

17:15I'm gonna go ahead and choose the high long for this one. So, I'll just go ahead and hit plus to add it to the timeline, and then it adds it like so.

17:23And so if we play it back right here, it kinda comes in pretty strong. Thank you guys so much for watching. And it might be a little bit too jarring.

17:30So maybe I wanna fade that in a little bit so I can go ahead and have it take a couple seconds to fade in, And then maybe move it back a little bit so it gradually comes in as I start the outro. So let's try that and maybe reduce the volume a little bit because it is a little bit strong.

17:47So let's just go about half volume for now. So let's go ahead and play that back. Yeah.

17:50I don't know how to close things out. Anyways, thank you guys so much for watching. We'll see you next time.

17:56Okay. So that sounds a little bit better. And then maybe at the end, I wanna add something here to have a bit of, like, an off screen at the end.

18:05So we can go ahead and split this right here, and then we can drag this up to the next layer above. Go ahead and make sure we fix that accordingly.

18:17And then I'm just gonna drag this over a little bit and drag this like so.

18:25And then we're just gonna bring this one to full volume, and then also have it take a second to fade in, and then we'll have this one take a second to fade out. And then now we can transition them like this.

18:36Bye.

18:40So now we have a natural music up. Now there's a lot of things we could potentially add to this outro screen, but just as an example, let's go ahead to our stock library. Now, there's a number of things we can do in here.

18:49We can generate our own videos if there's not a specific video that we want inside of our library, but in this case, let's just go ahead and add this video to our timeline here. I'll just go ahead and click on that and add it to the end here. I'm just gonna drag it right to where this part ends.

19:05And now, whenever the piece ends, it transitions right over to an end screen, like so. And we can modify this in the same way that we do our regular layouts.

19:16We can go in and add border radius. We can add animations if we wanted to slide in from the side and just take a full second to do that.

19:25And then that way, can have it overlay on top of us. Then we can have it fill the screen as well. So let's go ahead and see what this looks like.

19:32Bye.

19:36And then we get a nice smooth animation for the outro. And then lastly, we can utilize co creator to help us along the way. If there's something that we wanted to do that's a little tedious and it might take us a little while to do, we can tell CoCreator to do just that.

19:49And as an example, tell it to take out all the times we talked about bad editing experiences, and it'll do a lot of that specific bulky work. Now, Co Creator can also help create assets from your recording as well.

20:00So, for example, let's say we wanted to make a clip from a specific moment. Like in this instance, I can ask it to create a clip from when we were talking about saturation and how to best utilize it.

20:11So I can submit that prompt and it'll run through the edit and generate a clip based on that information. And it can also generate things like thumbnails or social posts. And if you wanted to control how those assets are created, you can go up to this personalize tab here and add specific instructions like using your tone of voice or specific design settings.

20:33And if you prefer to edit everything yourself, you can still use Co Creator as a guide to ask it how to do something in the editor, and it'll point you in the right direction. The key thing is is that you're always in control. You can let AI create everything for you, or you can edit everything manually, or even combine the two options.

20:50And you can use AI to speed up things where you want while still shaping the final edit. And there are also times you might just wanna try out the AI just to see what it does and see if it's beneficial like this clip right here.

21:04So speaking of AI and now that you understand the editing process a little bit better, there's another thing that Riverside does that's inside of the made for you tab inside of your project. And what this made for you tab will do is right after you record or upload your footage, it'll actually automatically generate things like a full episode draft, short form clips from your best recording moments.

21:26It will generate show notes, blog posts, and Instagram captions, and more. And you can find all of that inside of this tab right here.

21:34They're fully ready to share, but also fully edible if you wanna make any sort of changes. Plus, can go to the personalized section in each one of them and customize how you want those to appear or how you want them to be generated. And the nice thing is is you can access any of that project related made for you generated content from the editor itself.

21:54So if you go to your project window right here, you'll see that our magic hooks, magic segments, and magic clips are all right here. And you can switch to them at any point, and it'll pull up in the editor and you can switch back and forth between the clip and what you were just working on seamlessly straight from the editor.

22:14If you're ready to finalize the video, you can go ahead up here to click export. In here, you can choose the essential settings you need, like the video quality, whether or not you want a watermark, if you want the audio levels normalized, which means you want them leveled out to a specific spot, and remove background noise if you don't have magic audio on already.

22:34And then you can go ahead and hit export video, and that'll send it to the exports page in your project. So we can go to that exports page here, and once that's done and exported, you can hit share and send it to anybody that you'd like, even if they don't have a Riverside account, and they can provide feedback on it.

22:52And you can also send it to a social media platform directly depending on its format. Now, if you do need different versions for those different platforms, you can go back into the edit like so and change the aspect ratio here to fit whatever those platform needs are. And then once you do that, let's say we make it a vertical and adjust your layouts accordingly like so.

23:12And then you can go ahead and export it again and then upload it to those other platforms as needed. Now if you're creating a podcast, Riverside also offers hosting, which is included in all paid plans at no extra cost, and it allows you to easily distribute your podcast to platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and several more.

23:31You also get built in analytics and a free podcast website to help you grow your audience and to connect better with them. You can also post directly to social media from Riverside in your content planner like so.

23:43And that's the Riverside editor. It's designed to help you turn conversations into polished content very quickly with powerful AI when you want it and full creative control when you need it. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

23:54Thank you so much for watching and we can't wait to see what you create.

The Hook

The bait, then the rug-pull.

This is a straight screen-recording tour, not a sales pitch: the host opens a real Riverside project and demonstrates the transcript-based editor, the AI cleanup tools, and the Co-Creator chat agent in one continuous 24-minute pass.
