Riverside is an AI-powered cloud-based video editing platform for creators, educators, and businesses looking for the easiest professional-quality content production experience without the burdens of technology. Riverside launched in 2020 as a project by the brothers Nadav and Gideon Keyson and quickly became the tool of choice for remote podcasting, interviews, and virtual events.
Riverside's primary differentiator is local recording, which means each participant in a video recording captures their audio and video directly on their own device in 4K quality video and uncompressed WAV audio. This enables Riverside to provide flawless quality regardless of bandwidth issues for anyone within the recording. Riverside saves each participant's track separately, allowing for more flexible editing.
Riverside also incorporates powerful AI tools that enable a frictionless content creation process. Automated transcriptions offer a text version that can be easily edited for video, similar to how one can delete words from a transcript. Other features, like Magic Clips that automatically pull short and engaging highlights, make it easy to produce a variety of content for different social platforms. AI tools also create show notes, scrape out background noise, and help save time when working through post-production. Riverside enables podcasters, educators, and enterprise and media organizations to record, edit, and share content at studio-level quality all through an easy-to-use browser interface.
