Riverside Teams

What do you like best about the product?

I love that there’s a teleprompter—this was a new discovery for me. I also didn’t realize I could take clips and share them across my social media, along with a caption. There are a lot of perks, and I’m still learning how to use everything.

What do you dislike about the product?

There isn't much that I dislike about Riverside, if anything for it to be cheaper; however, we do get a lot for what we can do - the possibilities. And I feel I'm just getting started.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems Riverside is solving that is benefiting me is - I don't have to use 10 different applications to share, edit, and write. It's an all in one, I can just have my whole production done on Riverside.

What do you like best about the product?

Riverside makes editing videos so easy. It autogenerated clips for using as short videos. It gave me a whole section of show notes that I only had to edit a little bit. It also generated titles for the clips and videos that allow me to easily edit and share the videos. I would say Riverside cuts down editing time by more than 50% especially for someone with not editing background.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes it is hard to use on a smaller screen computer because of the many components the app has. It’s hard to see. So I always need to work on a large screen. Other than that I don’t have any issues.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside allows anyone to record and edit videos with ease. Its autogenerated content material is a great jumpstart and cuts down editing time in half. It also recommends hooks and clips that can be easily used and reduces time from recording to publishing. Great tool for beginner or anyone who doesn’t want to spend time editing or have a team of editors.

What do you like best about the product?

Very intuitive design. It has great AI features and they appear to be developing and refining AI features quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?

I was unable to recover some files that were previously archived. That means I effectively lost three interviews.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It appears to be a wraparound podcasting platform. Even on the free tier it was pretty effective but now I pay for a pro plan and we definitely get our moneys worth out of it.

What do you like best about the product?

How easy it is to record, edit, upload from Riverside straight to your social media

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing at the moment. I enjoy all of it

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside is ever changing and upgrading. Making it easier for the user to complete their projects.

What do you like best about the product?

I like being able to host, edit, and publish our podcast, and then get it out to a large audience. I also appreciate that we can host live on multiple social media platforms at the same time.

What do you dislike about the product?

There are a few tools I think would be especially helpful for editing that aren’t currently available. Because of that, I sometimes have to download my edited podcast just to add and post custom graphics. Riverside is a strong recording platform, but there are several areas where I think the experience could be substantially improved for serious, ongoing podcast production.

The UI/UX can sometimes feel more complicated than it needs to be. Recording, editing, producing clips, managing files, and organizing episodes do not always feel like parts of one seamless production workflow. I would like a clearer project-based interface where everything associated with an episode—recordings, scripts, edits, graphics, transcripts, clips, approvals, and exports—is organized together.

Integrations are another limitation. For a production team, Riverside should feel less like an isolated recording application and more like the center of a larger production ecosystem. Deeper integrations with cloud storage, podcast hosting, YouTube, social platforms, project-management systems, creative applications, and automation tools would reduce the amount of manual work required after recording.

In terms of performance, reliability is extremely important because recordings cannot simply be recreated when something goes wrong. Uploading, processing, synchronization, rendering, and exporting need to be consistently fast and dependable. When a platform is being used for a real production schedule, even relatively small delays or technical issues can disrupt the entire workflow.

The pricing/ROI could also be stronger. Subscription pricing is easier to justify when the platform replaces several other tools. If producers still need separate applications for advanced editing, graphics, social-media production, project management, publishing, and other post-production work, the overall cost of the workflow increases quickly. I would like Riverside to provide more production capability within the subscription rather than requiring an ecosystem of additional paid services.

For support and onboarding, I would like to see a more hands-on experience for professional users. Instead of simply teaching users where features are located, onboarding could help someone design their complete production workflow—from pre-production and recording through editing, approval, publishing, promotion, and archiving.

Finally, AI/intelligence is probably the area with the greatest opportunity. AI should go beyond transcription, summaries, captions, and identifying clips. I would like an intelligent production assistant that actually understands the show, its format, branding, speakers, previous episodes, publishing requirements, and production standards. It could identify editing issues, recommend cuts, prepare multiple platform-specific clips, maintain brand consistency, generate metadata, assist with show notes, organize assets, and help move an episode through the entire production pipeline.

Overall, my biggest frustration is that Riverside has many of the pieces of a modern production environment, but it does not yet feel like a complete production house operating system. I would like to be able to start with an episode concept and move all the way through recording, post-production, approval, publishing, promotion, and archiving without constantly leaving the platform.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am not sure

What do you like best about the product?

Riverside is helpful in that. It is easy to use. It really is one of those software that does not require a lot of set up or guesswork to understand. An upside to Riverside is the ease of use. For those of us who are a little nervous, it’s nice to have this tool that you know is capable of going live or recording with comfort.

What do you dislike about the product?

I am not sure. Presently I record my videos and I utilize the feature that helps me to edit. I think that there might be things that I want, but I haven’t explored the software beyond the basic use to see if there is anything that isn’t useful for me, so I will just say that it serves the purpose of my needs at the present moment.

Since I started using the software, I see where there is progress being made to make it more robust and more efficient.

I have been using many other programs to edit and create our podcast. Riverside makes it so much easier to edit and save me at least an hour for video. The re are so many helpful tools in this program. Riverside came highly recommended on ChatGPT. I’m glad I decided to try it out and switch from what I was using before!

Thumbnails are amazing but always the same look. I’m sure it’s me and how I am prompting. Other than that, I love this tool so much!

Cuts pauses in one step, sound is easy to adjust, quality of picture is fantastic and scheduling people to join was so easy.

What do you like best about the product?

Riverside has a lot of great features that are easy to learn. It hits all the requirements for producing and publishing a quality podcast. While it may not contain all the editing abilities of a high-end product like Final Cut Pro, it has more than enough to make a quality recording. And the Riverside people keep adding features and improving the product. They are also very quick to respond to customer inquiries and issues. The AI features make editing a lot faster, and the integrations with all the podcasting hosting sites means I don't have to use other apps.

What do you dislike about the product?

The editor can be a little clunky at times, but Riverside has been very good about listening to customers to continually improve the performance.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside solves the problem of having to edit podcast episodes from scratch, coming up with thumbnails, creating clips and hooks, and publishing to all the popular hosting sites. With this all in one place, I don't have to coordinate a bunch of different apps.
