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.

Ideal for

Podcasters, interviewers and webinar hosts who record themselves and their guests and want to edit, clip, stream and publish those recordings in one place.

What it does well

Records each participant locally, up to 4K video and uncompressed audio on separate tracks, unaffected by internet connection

Text-based editor: search, cut, copy and paste in the transcript to edit the video, plus multi-track editing

AI removes filler words and silences, fixes eye contact, and lets you correct speech by editing the transcript

Magic Episode turns a recorded session into a polished cut with transcripts and show notes

What VidRush does with your recorded episode

What VidRush does with your recorded episode

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.

A thumbnail on every plan

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.

The estimate first, the charge on completion

The Quote Statement lists format, duration, model, voice and estimated credits for your approval. Failed or blocked generations cost nothing, because credits are only taken when a video completes.

Fix a clip without redoing the video

Every video opens in a full timeline editor, with chat edits in beta for swapping clips or footage. A re-render costs 10% of the original generation.

Room for a team

Creator through Studio include 1 to 15 seats. Riverside's Pro, Grow and Webinar plans include 1 seat, an editor seat is a paid add-on, and collaborative editing is Business only.

Riverside.fm pros and cons

Text-based editing with filler word and silence removal, eye contact correction and speech correction

Publishes to YouTube, Spotify and Apple, and exports to Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro

Cons

Magic Episode is a first cut: you finish the edit in the text editor and pick the music from the library yourself

AI thumbnails are not on Pro; they start on Grow

B-roll is AI-generated from a prompt and draws on AI credits: 2,000 to start, then you buy more

Pro, Grow and Webinar include 1 seat; an editor seat costs extra and collaborative editing is Business only

Separate track downloads are capped at 15, 20 or 25 hours a month by plan

Reviewers report the editing tool and app are frustrating, and that tools such as Magic Audio became paid after an update

What creators say about VidRush

What creators say about VidRush

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.”

RomyB

· VidRush customer

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.”

Arez A.

· 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.”

Osas King

· 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.”

Pic Jr

· VidRush customer

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.”

Cam Conkle

· VidRush customer

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.”
