Riverside is such an easy to use tool when it comes to recording my podcast. The UI is user friendly and not overbearing like some other platforms I've tried in the past. I cannot stress enough how great this and if we ever decide to go to a video podcast the clarity in which it records is second to none! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Truly there isn't a thing that I dislike so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The feature I use most is the magic clips -- it makes something that I used to dread (editing social media clips) into something easy, fast, and fun! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly...nothing! It used to crash or lag during interviews so I used to warn my guests about that before we started recording, but it hasn't done that much lately. So I truly have no complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its very easy to learn and use. It has audio enhancement tools that really improve the sound. They have good customer support and I can use AI to find clips for social media etc. I like how Riverside records each person seperately in different video and audio tracks. These are saved natively to the person's device and uploaded after. This solves the tinny audio of recorded zooms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an online tool so you are downloading and waiting for exporting a lot of the time. I'm not clear on which tools are best for downloading recordings that integrate best with video editing software like Avid or Premiere. You have to be sure and tell participants not to shut down their computer so that Riverside can upload their high quality video and audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Riverside has made podcast and other video production simple and I come at this with ZERO experience. I can use it along, with my team or 3rd parties without issue - even when some parties are on a mobile phone.

I love the AI tools and editting features, as they allow me to enhance and refine my videos without needing to do many takes or retakes. And with the easy premade layouts, I can quickly format my footage into vertical and horizontal videos for YouTube shorts and main videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My dislike is simply not dedicating more time to watching their YouTube channel to learn more about how I can use the product to make better videos for my small business. But, that's really my issue, not an issue for Riverside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to film, edit and upload to all platforms in one platform. I love love love the platform, and recommend to all my colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at all. I am fully satisfied with Riverside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works...

I came from Descript, I like them for their editing tools which are admittedly slightly more granular, however the program was constantly updating and the UI was always in flux and that hampered my ability really lock in a workflow.

With Riverside, the granularity is not completely present but the areas that are missing are negligible and i can work with them. I already have a workflow down and have only recorded on the platform four times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. I cant do much with segment transitions, id like the ability to create and save transitions to my brand in the same way i can insert intro and outtro.

2. I would like to see the addition of sound keys added to the music part of the editor. I want to have the granularity to set specific time points where i want the music loud and where i want it quiet. I understand i can do this in a more robust tool like audition, but, if im paying for an editor like Riverside then I would hope to have basic features like sound keys.

3. Live Stream capabilities are not as straightforward when going live on FB nor do they support going live on platforms like tiktok. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use among teams and helps with content creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost is the largest barrier and wish it allowed for simultaneous recording instead of one show at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to set up a recording and invite others to join you. Their AI tools are super easy to implement, making editing a breeze and making it easy to put out a professional-sounding product. I use Riverside now multiple times a week to record shows, and it's integrated effortlessly into my work process. The one time I've had to contact customer support, they were quick to respond and help me with the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that their mobile app were a bit more friendly when it comes to setting up things on the run. There have been times when I wanted to set up a future recording and send the guest the invite from the mobile app, but you can't do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m truly impressed with Riverside and the way it keeps getting better. When I first started, I knew nothing about video editing, but I quickly became skilled enough that people now reach out to me because of the visibility I’ve gained. Riverside has opened up several new professional opportunities for me and has helped me share my message with new customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably the only thing I might say that I dislike about Riverside is that because of the new continuous offerings there’s always something new to learn but I realize that’s a completely softball answer. It’s really great. I’m really impressed with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The audio and video quality are consistently excellent, and being able to use my iPhone as my main camera while routing audio through my Rodecaster Pro has been a complete game-changer. Once the workflow is set, Riverside gives me a polished, professional look without needing a full studio. I also appreciate that the team listens to user feedback, it feels like a platform that’s actually evolving with creators, not against them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s a noticeable learning curve, especially when switching from other platforms. Some workflows like getting my iPhone set as the main camera without ending up in a split screen can feel a little confusing at first. A few features could be more intuitive or streamlined so creators don’t have to hunt through menus or community posts to figure things out. Once everything is set up, it works well, but getting there isn’t always straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
