Riverside
An online studio for locally recorded, multi-track podcasts and video, with browser editing and tools for repurposing content.
About Riverside
Riverside is an online studio for recording, editing, repurposing, and distributing podcasts and video. It records every participant on their own device and uploads the files to the cloud in the background, so a weak connection has less effect on the finished tracks. Teams can download separate, synchronized audio, video, and screen-share files, or work in the browser with transcript-based editing, comments, and AI-assisted clip creation. It is built for remote interviews, podcasts, webinars, live streams, and marketing production. The Free plan is useful for occasional projects, but it limits multi-track recording to two hours, caps video at 720p and audio at 44.1 kHz, and adds a Riverside watermark to exports. Pro costs $288 per year. It raises recording quality to 4K video and 48 kHz audio, removes the watermark, and includes 15 hours of separate-track downloads. Before choosing a plan, check how much you record and how often you need downloadable tracks.

Each participant is recorded on their own device while files upload in the background, reducing the effect of a weak connection on the finished tracks.
Separate synchronized tracks
Download individual audio, video, and screen-share files for each participant, with tracks kept in sync for post-production.
Browser editing and repurposing
Edit recordings with text-based tools, collect comments, and create shorter clips from long sessions without moving to a separate editor.
