Riverside is a remote recording platform that provides local, clear audio/video—perfect for podcasters and interviewers.

About

Riverside

Riverside.fm solved the biggest problem in remote recording: crappy internet ruining your interview. It records locally on each person's computer, so even if the call gets choppy, your recording stays crystal clear. For podcasters and anyone doing remote interviews, it's a game-changer. Plus, you get separate tracks, AI transcription, and a basic editor to clean things up.

But don't mistake it for a full editing suite. The text-based editor is clever for cutting interviews, but you're not adding fancy graphics or complex effects here. It's purpose-built for capturing great remote conversations, not for post-production wizardry. The real question: is getting studio-quality remote recordings your main challenge, or do you need the full editing package? For complete podcast production, combine quality recording with automatic transcription and AI content idea generation.

Qlip is an AI content multiplier for podcasters and creators that uses AI to automatically spot and extract highlights from long videos.

About

Qlip

Qlip.ai is your content multiplication tool. Feed it your podcast, long video, or stream, and it'll slice and dice it into social-ready clips faster than you can say "algorithm." The AI spots the highlights, adds captions, and basically turns your one piece of content into a week's worth of posts. Perfect for creators who need to be everywhere at once.

But here's the thing—it's the AI calling the shots. What it thinks is share-worthy might not align with your brand voice or audience preferences. You'll get volume, but you might sacrifice the personal touch that makes your content unique. It's efficient, not artistic. So what's your priority: keeping up with the content treadmill or maintaining complete creative control? For podcast creators, specialized AI podcast clip generators or YouTube clip makers might offer better control over your content's narrative.

The software is so clean and easy to use. It makes you feel like a professional editor even when you are simply a layperson! There is enough 'stuff' to help professionalise your recordings without feeling overwhelmed and it's intuitive interface means that you can hit the ground running.

Poor poor poor. For the money they charge, there are always issues. We will be moving when our annual sub expires!! No native Windows version of the software is another joke.
