Riverside started as a remote recording studio and now covers much of the edit as well. It records each guest on separate audio and video tracks at up to 4K and 48kHz, which gives the AI tools clean material to work with. Pro includes unlimited text-based editing and transcriptions, an AI editing and repurposing agent, AI B-roll, eye contact correction, removal of silences and filler words, and Magic Clips with show notes for social posts. It also hosts your podcast and publishes to YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Instagram and LinkedIn. Pro costs $24 per month on annual billing or $29 monthly, and paid plans start with a 14-day free trial. Grow adds live streaming, social scheduling and AI thumbnails. The free plan is a sample rather than a workspace, with two hours of multi-track recording once. If your video starts as a remote interview, it removes a step that other editors leave to you.
