Riverside Reviews & Product Details

I'ts built with video interview for podcasts and youtube in mind and makes it incredibly easy to generate social media snippets of your content. The editing capabilities are pretty decent for basic editing as well. Today I recorded an interview and the connection was so poor I was terrified that I'd have to rerecord it. But thanks to Riverside's local recording the end result was perfect!

The only thing I'd improve is that when I have edited an interview for export and want to create another clip I have to edit every thing once again. I'd love to be able to reuse the edit and export it in different formats. But it's a minor inconvinience.

All I have to do is send a guest the studio link and in 90% of the cases it requires very little setup with the guest if they have a camera and microphone already set up. I can simply hit record and Riverside records each audio and video feed locally, uploading them as we record and after the interview is completed.

I had very specific requirements I needed met in order to consider Riverside. Customer service responded so thoroughly that I was excited to become a customer.

The only thing I'm waiting on is a demo to see if I should upgrade. I don't consider this a negative, simply a scheduling issue.

I wanted to be able to record my interviews in high resolution but I needed the user experience to be as easy as Zoom. One simple link to a room/ studio - not created each time I wanted to have a session. The quality is great and my interviewees have said it was very easy to log on (and in some cases re-log on).

Riveriside is the tool you need if you are serious about high quality podcasting. Riverside is useful to record interviews remotely, produce solo content, and even host my travel podcast. Conducting interviews is easy because Riverside focuses on the quality for customers over everything else.

Riverside could benefit from more announcements to changes. I've had clients confused when some feature is moved from one place to another. I'm sure this is being addressed by their amazing team.

I can now record podcast interviews everywhere I go. It's easy to get high quality, 4k content without a ton of extra tools. I currently host podcasts locally, virtually and even travel across the United States! Riverside made it easy to record using my iphone camera and Shure Mv7.

Riverside provides exceptional quality for audio and video recordings for my podcast!

nothing I can think of at the moment. Sometimes there is an occasional delay but that is expected with WiFi connections not always being stable.

I was using Zencastr before, and was very dissatisfied with the audio and video quality. Riverside provides great video and audio quality as well as other services..

Incredibly simple to use. The functionality is great. We use this for all of our podcasts and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great software to use.

I honestly cannot think of anything that I do not like right now.

Easy to use interface to record podcasts

We were recording Zoom sessions to interview our remote employees for presentations...the quality was always lagging until we switched to Riverside.FM The video and audio quality are definitely superior and easy to use. Upgraded our account to a yearly plan.

I'd like it if "producers" could also record the sessions, not just a HOST.

Riverside.fm gives me an easy way to conduct high-quality videos with our remote employees/interviewees. Having all of the videos available to download from the cloud is also very handy.

Local recording means pristine sources with no internet drop out. Individual video and audio files per speaker allows for seamless editing. I've written a full review here: https://jonnyelwyn.co.uk/film-and-video-editing/how-to-record-a-zoom-meeting-in-high-quality-for-video-editing/

I wish you could upload existing video files because their automatic transcription of every recording is good.

Pristine video recording without dropout or internet glitches. Being able to edit these individual source files easily is a big win, especially for video podcasts.

This is such a comprehensive production studio that its hard to select one thing that stands out. I guess I would have to say the team behind it all. With such an incredible support system in place, I always feel as though I go into Studio everytime with a team behind me. My questions get answered, my needs get met, my concerns or thoughts are anticipated monthly when they think of new ways to improve my experience.

I think I would like to see more post-production options in studio. I still have to export my files to do all the things that I want but it would be nice to be able to have a bit more edting and post production features. Which I am sure is already in the works!

An online studio that allows for capture of the footage remotely and then ensures that it all uploads to the cloud for final review was a game changer in terms of ensuring quality. Add to that the clips and editing features, the ability to create different views for export, syncing with my social platforms should be next and of course adding media now has some interesting features and options, although I am not ready to do this while live and recording. I am still stuck on doing this all post. I guess I need to get better prepared prior to recording so that I can take advantage of these features.

It is so easy to use! I am not very swift when it comes to technology. Riverside has made my experience worth every penny! Thank you for producing a superior project.

So far l, I don't have any downsides. Every issue I have run into has been addressed quickly or has a video that explains in great detail.

The list is very long: 1) Saves me time everyday. 2) Makes editing fun 3) Ability to have screen by screen guests. 4) Overall extremely positive experience

When I started putting together my podcast, I used Zoom...and it worked fine, I guess. But Zoom doesn't tell you about the limitations it puts on you, in regards to quality of video and audio. So I went looking for a better solution, and I found Riverside. It has been the best thing for my podcast, giving me exceptional quality audio and even better video. Customer service is A++. Riverside was the best decision the podcast ever made, and I'd give it 20 stars if I could.

I wish that more people knew about it. Also, I've had several guests have issues logging in with a web browser other than Chome, and that caused a bit of a hiccup initially.

It is allowing me to have a best-in-class film interview podcast and they will be a great partner for my business going forward. I can't say enough great things about Riverside.fm.

It is so so user friendly and it makes it so easy for editing. I love how it has different file types for me to choose from and i will continue to use it for my future podcasts

There are really no downsides to this product! I can't wait to tell more people

No problems at all, it is very easy to use

I like the ease of use the most. I'm in Kansas, my podcast co-host is in Virginia and the browser-based software just works. I'm able to pull full quality video and audio files back down from our sessions confidently.

I'd say that you can't leave a session until everything finishes uploading. If there were a way for it to continue to upload whether or not your guest leaves the session that would prove helpful.

My problem was how to record remote sessions from halfway across the country and keep the quality of the video and audio high. Riverside accomplishes this because I and my guest are both uploading original files within the app during our session. Even if one of us looks a little blurry during the interview I know what they're uploading is a full quality video file for use later. It's extremely convenient and frankly a much better solution than Zoom.

Finding it very easy as a rookie to be able to produce a podcast and have it edited for spotify

The editing could be a little more in detail, then again could be me being new. that's the only bad thing I could say but again still new to it.

Enabling us to educate our clients and also bring in a new lead source

Ease of us. It's very easy to figure out how to use the platform and get the first episode going live very quickly!

if you aren't using Chrome or Edge there could be an issue when recording. Other than that it's great!

Being able, at an affordable cost, to run a podcast from start to finish. It saves a lot of time.

It has cut our production time nearly in half and allowed us the flexibility to conduct our entire business around our podcast fully remote.

Not equipped with all post production tools

It has sloved the problems that have arise in our post production workflow allow us to save time, energy, and money to focus soley on creating the best content!

I love how easy it is to use Riverside. Additionally, it provides an all-in-one solution with high-quality podcast recording. I appreciate the automatic clip creation for vertical orientations.

I dislike the inability to edit automatically generated captions for short videos, which is currently the main drawback of this tool.

The most important thing is that, I can create podcast in both audio and video. Also it provides internal tools to audio normalize, so I don't need to make additional changes in audio on post-production.

So easy and fast to use and setup, overall has just the right amount of features to streamline the entire process of getting a podcast setup and running. The Ai transcripts and edit feature is outstanding.

Having to buy up to other features via subscription, maybe some of the more basic features logo logo upload, download all files after a recording should be part of even the paid basic subscription.

Brings everything together, online podcasting via video links. The fact that Audio if lost can resync back to the podcast original recording and isnt lost. Also the audio quality is excellent which is super important.

I've used several competing platforms. Riverside is hands-down my favorite for a combination of features and ease of use for my guests

I have nothing negative to say at all. Great platform

Recording of short and long form video content. It's a combination of educational videos and podcast type content

Easy to use for non-technical people. Very short learning curve. Everything we do for podcasting and Youtube interviews lives here!

Still a developing and growing tool. Some pains with trimming footage but nothing Adobe Premier can't fix.

Much better than Zoom and far more intuitive. Worth the price.

I wasn't a podcaster before but Riverside.fm has made it simple for me to do this and manage my business. Because of the content we create, our engagement on social media has gone up 1300% in the first 3 weeks.

I hope they can add more editing functionality. The ability to add thumbnails, audio and other images.

We're using Riverside to record podcasts and create content for our media assets.
