"Allows for 1080p resolution videos"
What do you like best about Riverside?

RiversideFM is easy to use and allows for a 1080p video quality. I couldn't achieve that video quality with Zoom, so I switched to RiversideFM. I also love the professional look of the final videos as well as all of the editing options available to me.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

In the very beginning, it took a bit of time to get used to the new process of downloading videos to my computer, so I could edit them in Premiere Pro. But after a few videos, and watching a few tutorials on YouTube, I realized that it's more user-friendly than have seemed in the beginning.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

ReversideFM helps me produce high-resolution videos for YouTube, a feature that wasn't possible with Zoom. I'm a YouTube content creator and an educator. In order to be more effective on that platform, my final videos have to adhere to certain quality standards, one of them being HD quality.

"One stop shop!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I love EVERYTHING about Riverside.fm! I record from my phone or laptop, they generate magic clips for me automatically, and in the future I can invite guests on my podcast with so much ease!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I can't seem to figure out how to edit the original clip without creating a new one.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a one stop shop! I record with ease, it connects directly to my auto interface, and it downloads and uploads perfectly. The magic clips are also a huge help because it automatically creates clips for me to share on social media

"Easiest and Best Podcast Recording Site"
What do you like best about Riverside?

It is just so easy. Like you can just start your account and start recording! We were able to easily start our podcast, SUAVEPOD. Nothing stopped us from making it and putting it out. Sooooooo easy!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Nothing! I will say we do have an editor who edits for us, so I can't speak to the editing ease, but recording is soooo simple and easy! No dislikes over here.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping us both record the audio AND video for our podcast. We don't need any other equipment for both facets and that is just fantastic! Makes posting long-form video and short form podcast clips so easy.

"Outstanding & keeps getting better!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

It does everything I want/need, and when I find a new need, they've already announced that new feature! Bravo!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

That I can't seem to do anything other than start a new recording in the app.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wanted to share my guided Yoga Nidra meditations in an easeful way that would also reach a large audience, and Riverside does that & more!

"The software I've needed"
What do you like best about Riverside?

It's intuitive, with minimal need for reading a guide or watching a video. Working with very non-technical people, they've managed to successfully join a studio and be recorded, something which makes my job so much easier.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

A little nervewracking at ensuring I receive the high-res videos from my participants, especially those who are very non-technical and on poor internet connections. I'll be happier when I've seen all the high res recordings!

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were trying to record video interviews for later broadcast. If the user is on a poor internet connection, Zoom makes them look and sound like they are on the moon. I am trying to record as if I am in the room with the participants, to offer my audience the best possible experience.

"Made the switch and never went back"
What do you like best about Riverside?

High quality recording quality for both audio & video. Makes it very easy for my guests as they don't have to install anything, they just show up on the link (similar to a zoom meeting).

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Riverside's new editing features using AI have SO much potential. I have been using Descript for transcription based editing for years and I'm hoping as Riverside continues to improve their new editing features, I'll be able to make a full switch over.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reliable recording solution for remote interviews. Since the recordings are done locally on each person's computer, I've never had an issue with losing any files if the guest loses connection or if there's poor wifi strength - the results still come out amazing each time!

"It's made podcasting a pleasure"
What do you like best about Riverside?

When I am inviting a guest to join me, it is literally as simple as inviting them to a Zoom call. It makes it simple for them, simple for me. And the editing on the back end is awesome to be able to export in different formats.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I wish I were able to edit the transcript to spell names correctly for the captions. I know there is a lot more work to be done on the back end editing, but it has already come a long way.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I no longer have to send the finished .mp4 files to my teenager to help me edit into different aspect ratios, I can be more productive and do it myself, allowing me to export to all platforms.

"Excellent Quality. Easy to Use."

Riverside was recommended to me by several other podcasters and it didn't disappoint. It's very easy to use but the video and audio quality is excellent. I love how it automatically transcribes the podcast, and almost flawlessly.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Since this is my first podcast and I haven't used any other apps, I really don't have anything I dislike about it. It does it's job very well.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside made it easy for me to launch my first podcast.

"Riverside speeds up production 8x"
What do you like best about Riverside?

We use Riverside for podcast production. The ability to (1) standardize our process for remote interviews, (2) capture the highest possible quality on both ends of the conversation, and (3) streamline the editing process has sped up our own production 8x since starting with Riverside.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

The price jump to a business account is jarring, and prevented us from starting at the level that we would have liked. Also, it's not uncommon for small technical issues related to syncing to crop up. In this case, you're forced to do a little extra editing work in order to get the highest quality.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside is meeting the need of content creators to turn content around quickly. Much of the production process is tedious and time consuming, and Riverside has responded by standardizing and streamlining the process.

"Unmatched Video Quality"
What do you like best about Riverside?

My favorite aspect of Riverside.fm is the video quality and the simplicity with which it delivers all the isolated streams of video. That was the main reason I started using Riverside and that's what keeps me using it.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

The biggest downside for me is that it only runs in the chrome browser on my mac. I normally use safari, so that gets a little irritating. The other big complaint I have is that Riverside opens so many browser tabs when navigating through the interface. This drives me nuts.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Capturing high quaility video in multiple streams is a huge value to me. I haven't been able to find any other platform that makes it as easy to accomplish. It really allows us to record podcasts with guests remotely without sacrificing quality.

"Makes Podcasting a Breeze"
What do you like best about Riverside?

This platform is so intuitive, I simply logged in and started recording straight away (I didn't even test record haha). Everything worked perfectly.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I love how high quality the recordings (voice and video) are when I export.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside allows me to both export my audio for my podcast, AND export video and audio for short clips for social media. It's all on one place.

"Great product"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Are use Riverside. FM to record a podcast. I love how easy the interface is to use one of the best things about this product is that I'm able to quickly set up the studio and via guess and start recording both audio and video. This is truly a really great product and service.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I have not been able to find anything that I don't like about Riverside. All of the features are top-notch and the payment plans are great so I can't say anything bad about it.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside. FM is solving the problem of finding a reliable, podcast recording studio. My guests are in remote locations and being able to connect to them from various locations is very important to my podcast. Riverside helps us all connect even though we're many miles apart.

"Great all in one platform for recording my podcast!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I love all the features on Riverside. They are always improving it to make it better for podcasters like me that have the resources all in one place.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

One thing would be very helpful is having AI options that could break down the minutes and times of each of the speakers, meaning more than a transcript option.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside provides me a place where I can record my podcast with really good sound. And also create long and short video formate and have a transcription created from it. Its a great all in one tool.

"The go to platform for video podcast and interviews."
What do you like best about Riverside?

I dedicated a substantial portion of my time to thoroughly explore various video communication platforms. Recognising that Zoom would likely fall short of our needs, especially given the anticipated interviews with individuals in regions where internet connectivity might be unreliable, I embarked on a search for a more suitable solution. To my knowledge, Riverside.fm stands out as the sole platform that offers the unique capability of recording each interview at its respective location. This distinctive feature empowers the Riverside solution to seamlessly accommodate challenging internet connections and variable speeds. Unlike conventional video communication platforms, which often struggle under such conditions, Riverside ensures consistent production of high-quality, uninterrupted videos without fail.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I have been using the Riverside.fm studio solution for some time now. As of the time of writing, I can honestly say that I've not found anything that I dislike about their offering.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quality video productions every single time regardless of interviewees' internet connections or speed. The best solution we've found. The Riverside.fm is absolutely perfect for our needs. Would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this product to anyone that has a video communications need.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I haven't found anything yet that I dislike.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Right now it is just making my podcast production so easy and seamless for me and my guests.

"Great platform for content creators"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Easy to use. Great quality audio and video. Really helpful support staff. Riverside has enabled me to prepare high quality audio and video interviews for my podcast and YouTube channels. I really like the way it generates transcripts and separate audio and video recordings of high quality that allow me to edit my interviews into great engaging content.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

At first I worried about the lower image quality during the live recording, but the reassuring emssage from Riverside calmed me down. And once I saw the great quality of the final video I thanked Riverside for their brilliant technical solution to video interview recording.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside solves my problem of producing a high quality editable video podcast that has podcast quality sound. It gives me the ability to bring on great guests onto my podcast and show them in the best possible light.

"Best Streaming, Recording & Podcasting Platform"
What do you like best about Riverside?

It is in the title! I've tried a few different platforms out there and nothing does what Riverside provides. Amazing quality in video and audio projects. Creating content is a breeze and easy to use!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Nothing at the moment. Some aspects about creating reels for videos can improve because sometimes it doesn't line up with certain logo or audio. For the most part is works great 8/10 times.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

The number one aspect that Riverside is solving for me is saving me time! I have another full time job and a family. Now I don't have to be behind the computer all the time!
