About
Riverside is a browser-based platform for recording, editing, repurposing, streaming and publishing content. It records each guest locally, up to 4K video with uncompressed audio on separate tracks, so quality does not depend on the internet connection. Editing is text-based: you cut by editing the transcript. AI tools remove filler words and silences, fix eye contact, correct speech, generate B-roll from a prompt, and translate and dub into over 30 languages. Magic Episode turns a session into a polished cut with transcripts and show notes, and the AI Co-Creator makes clips, posts, thumbnails and headlines. Higher plans add live streaming, podcast hosting and webinar tools. Every video starts from a recording you or your guests make.

A finished YouTube episode from your recording
Upload your English talking-head recording to VidRush Talking Head. You get back a finished 6–60 minute edit with dead air cut, licensed B-roll, music, captions, your theme and a thumbnail. Riverside's AI cut still needs finishing.
$1.46 to $2.18 a minute for a finished video
Talking Head runs on Pro + Medium at $1.46 to $2.18 a minute by plan, for a finished edit you review in the editor. Riverside's minute is your own recording, finished from an AI first cut or by an editor at $50 to $150 per video.
Licensed footage, not prompt-generated clips
The Pro model puts real Storyblocks video B-roll around your talking head. Riverside's B-roll is generated from a prompt on AI credits: 2,000 to start, then you buy more.

Every VidRush video comes with a thumbnail, from the entry plan up. Riverside's AI thumbnails start on Grow and are not part of Pro.

It helped me monetize a channel in 1 month.
“So far, the vidrush videos went viral much faster and more often than the ones my editors did. AND, I created those videos in 1-2 hours, with minimal input on my end. Maybe I changed 1 or 2 scenes. The videos turn out very good.”

From zero to 3 monetized channels in 5 months
“In that short time I managed to monetize three YouTube channels. That's something I never would have pulled off so fast with a traditional setup. What used to take my team roughly four days to coordinate, scripting, editing, voiceover, finding the right footage, I can now get done in under 30 minutes.”

· VidRush customer
“My editors have been in panic mode since I started using vidrush. It makes great videos in a few hours and also create thumbnail for it. The editing is better than 70% of my editors.”

· VidRush customer
Vidrush is for you if you want good quality videos fast
“Vidrush is great because it cuts video production time down by a lot. With a few prompts or even your own custom script, you can get a video done in around a couple hours, versus possibly days with a normal video editor.”

World-Class Tool, World-Class Support
“VidRush has become the backbone of my entire production workflow. The voice quality, imagery, and video output are genuinely impressive, everything comes out looking and sounding professional without the hours of manual editing other tools require.”

Saves a Huge Amount of Time and Delivers Real Quality
“I especially want to highlight the custom script feature, which lets you personalize content nicely, as well as the rendering quality, which is consistently solid.”
