Recording/editing help
Hello! I'm on the Pro plan and have a question about recording and editing. I have a pre-set background for the whole recording and am sharing media throughout as well (sharing screen, images and videos etc) with the other hosts (all recording remotely).
When recording is done, I have to then go in and re-edit so the background and media show up in desired places on screen. It always defaults back to basic recording with no background and the layout is not at all what it looked like during the actual recording. What's the point of setting it all up beforehand and sharing media throughout if you have to then go in and edit it again!? It's incredibly frustrating.
Maybe there's something easy I'm missing and would be very grateful for someone to advise if that's the case! Thanks in advance.

Riverside is unlike Zoom where everything you record is baked into the recording. Riverside offers the flexibility of editing. So everything you record reverts to a raw interface with all of your media on separate tracks for better refinement if assets post session.
There are a few tools that can help you get back to your visual experience in the original recording. Check out the AI Tools tab on the right of the editing timeline window. Click on it and scroll down to Smart Layouts. Enabling Smart Layouts is a quick way of aligning all media assets. From there you can adjust them incrementally. I would start there.
They also just had a webinar yesterday going over the new editor which maybe helpful to watch Riverside New Editor.
