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. ----- ### "Why Riverside is Great\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kevin** | *23 February 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very simple and easy to use. Easy to customize and collaborate with teammates and great value for the money. > > **Cons**: I wish Riverside had more built in lower thirds, ability to set up multiple cameras and microphones all at once for in studio recording. You can by other equipment like a video switcher that could work with riverside but it would be nice if Riverside could be kept all in house. > > My overall experience has been great. It is easy to record, edit, and post directly from the platform. The AI editing isn't perfect but helps reduce backend editing by a lot. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Great Podcasting platform for anyone at any level" — 5.0/5 > **Pat** | *25 February 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Riverside is extremely feature rich and continues to innovate. They have anything you could ever want from a podcasting platform all at the highest quality. > > **Cons**: This may be due to the number of features they have but there is alot of lag when browsing the site. I also have to re login nearly every time I use it but maybe thats a user error. > > Overall its a really great program and I often recommend it for people looking to start podcasting or new to podcasting and on other platforms. ----- ### "Great podcasting platform" — 5.0/5 > **Bob** | *18 March 2026* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Magic Episodes and Magic clips and ease of editing. Continual improvement is a huge plus and key strength. > > **Cons**: You should get your virtual backgrounds fixed in both recording and editing. There are delays that are a bit too long in pulling up projects or videos in the editor. > > When i began using Riverside, the capabilities of recording and editing were somewhat contrained, but each month there are incremental improvements that make it my favorite platform to use. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ 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
