To see what individual users think of Riverside's price and value, check out the review snippets below.

“The automated transcription and the Magic Clips AI tool have saved me hours in post-production, allowing me to turn a long-form interview into social-ready snippets in minutes.”

Brad P.

CEO

“Another recent discovery I made was the ability to do an interview with people from another country, in this case Ukraine, and get a transcript that is automatically translated. While we utilized a professional translator for the interview, the already translated transcript made subtitle work so much easier.”

“I can customize my camera positioning and effects”

“To send my stream to multiple platforms, Ecamm has the option to multi-streaming but you need more bandwidth since the send it separately and with Restream you only send one signal and they distribute the streaming on their servers.”
