It's easy to record and editing has gotten a lot easier. > > **Cons**: It's still very glitchy. We I'm editing the buffering sometimes drives me mad. i don't know if it's them or my wifi connection. And when I used the VideoDub to edit a word in a Magic Clip it also changed the word not just in that clip but in the longer episode and I didn't like the way it sounds. Couldn't change it back. > > Overall I guess the pros out weigh the cons. It's not perfect but I would say it's a good experience. I like that they are always adding new things. ----- ### "Great Recording Quality, But Needs More Robust Editing Features" — 5.0/5 > **Sheldon** | *10 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Riverside offers high-quality audio and video recording, which is one of its biggest strengths. The local recording feature ensures that content remains clear even if internet connection drops. The platform is relatively easy to use, and having everything in one place for recording, basic editing, and exporting makes the workflow efficient. > > **Cons**: There can be occasional glitches with syncing audio/video or uploading recordings, which can disrupt workflow. The editing tools are somewhat limited compared to more advanced software, and the pricing can feel high for what’s offered, especially if you need more control in post-production. > > Overall, Riverside is a solid platform for recording podcasts and remote interviews, especially for users who prioritize simplicity and quality. It’s a good all-in-one solution, but it may require supplemental tools for more advanced editing or production needs. ----- ### "Stick with Zoom over Riverside\!" — 3.0/5 > **Shannon** | *22 November 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really liked the video download quality. It was clear and high quality recordings I could use in my self-paced courses. I also liked many of the editing features like being able to take out portions of video by simply taking out the text transcript. So easy\! > > **Cons**: A lot of things were not as good as Zoom. You can’t share sound only. If you want to share your computer sound you must also share that screen with your audience or students. I’m a dance teacher so this is a feature I have to have. You can buy MP3s and then upload them to Riverside and play them, but the music will not line up with your body movements or mouth if you’re a singer in the recording. Laying music tracks over your video is nearly impossible in the editor because it randomly just jumps around. You also can’t animate graphics or text like you can if editing in Canva. Meaning, you can’t have things bounce in or anything special. The screen share is also an odd view, there is white space in the recording over the screen. > > Overall, it may be good for talking head videos or podcasters, but if you are an educator or want music or the ability to have a lot of co grip over the timeline graphics and text, this is not the software I would choose. The price is reasonable, but features just aren’t there for me that I use daily. ----- ### "Riverside is the key to long-term podcast success" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *24 February 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Riverside is easy to use, priced right, and they continue to add great features. We tried a few other platforms before finding Riverside, and it has saved us so much time and frustration, we can't imagine using anything else. > > **Cons**: Nothing really. We wish sending assets out (syndication) was a strength, but that would simply be a plus. > > Super solid, reliable, and easy to use. Far and away the best podcasting recording and editing solution available today. ----- ### "Great value for the cost and always evolving" — 5.0/5 > **Luisa** | *3 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoyed the ease of use for the user and all the features readily available. The generation of thumbnails is the latest WOW\! > > **Cons**: At first I had a hard time figuring out where all the buttons were as it pertains to booking calls with guests, but after I knew where it was and they created a little reminder when it moved to a new spot, it has not been an issue again. > > It is a great product I will likely continue to use for my podcasting, editing, video creation, thumbnail creation as well as AI generated descriptions. The value for the money I paid each month made it very worth it\! ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/386167/riverside?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/386167/riverside) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
