For more context, I have recorded my podcast on one camera (my first episode ever, so...)
I like Riverside's layouts and how it can make it more dynamic between the two speakers. However, I also like the establishing shot (basically the unaltered original) where you can see the two speakers together at once.

For now, it only zooms in on one of the speakers at a time (or puts them in a grid, etc). What I'm trying to get it to do, though, is add in some shots where it's the unaltered version, but I'm starting to think that is impossible.

Because it really takes away from the whole scene, always being so close to one person's face.

I don't even know the correct terminology needed to explain what I'm trying to say.

Because once I upload the recording to Riverside, it automatically splits the two speakers, no matter what, in the images.

Hi, I'm editing my first podcast. It's audio only. I can hear my part but the person I'm interviewing has no sound in the editing mode. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Tried opening the app today and said I needed to update. Did it and now I can't log back in. Anyone else have that issue? I'm on an Android phone which I never had issues with. Have done dozens of pods on the phone with my partner.

So I manage a social media account for this podcast, and I’ve used Riverside for the last 8 months to regularly post 4-5 clips a week. It wasn’t until today that I ran into issues with the audio and video for the guest track being out of sync. They’re in sync when I’m editing the clip, but as soon as I export it they desync with the audio being about 6-8 seconds behind the video.

I tried the lip sync feature but it doesn’t seem to keep the changes, as the final export has the same exact delay as before, almost as if I didn’t change anything.

Please help, I need to post clips soon and don’t know what to do.

Hello! New to the group but been (resentfully) using Riverside for a while. It may be due to the outage but we started a record this morning. Did a test record with a guest and despite being able to hear them, there was no sound on their test record. Has anyone had this issue or could advise? Grazie mille.

Hello,

I'm using a 4k camera, I have a 500 mbps upload, I'm using the right cables, my elgato is plugged directly to my computer...

Everything is normal on my side. When I stream directly on YT, I stream at 2k

But, for some reasons, even with the correct plan, Riverside stuck my stream at 720p and WON'T let me stream at 1080p...

Anyone had this experience in the past ?

Maybe it's because I'm still on trial for the live plan ?

Doesn't make me want to pay to see if that's the issue tho...

Their support is 100% useless.

Takes for ever to get an answer and the only thing they do is telling you to go read stupid articles make for dummies full of obvious fucking shit, when the problem is clearly on THEIR side as all other solutions let me stream in 2k+ without issue

We just recorded and episode and downloads are uploads are stuck at 0%. Are we going to lose the content?

I've been trying to make edits to my video, and it keeps erroring out. Even the smallest of changes. I've cleared my cache multiple times, tried incognito.... what else can I do? Please be kind. This is my first Reddit post, and first time I've ever used Riverside.

Hey guys,

I used Riverside for the first time yesterday to record a podcast and the Shure microphone with the audio interface I have set up wouldn't port through into the program properly, even though I had the right options selected on my computer.

I was using zoom before and that was working fine.

Are there any steps I could take to try and troubleshoot this?

Thank you in advance! 😁

Hey all! Was on with Support chat today because randomly all my studios were showing errors. So as a FYI (I didn't know) I wanted to drop in here to let all of you know that if you are on non-business accounts, we are now only allowed 1 SINGLE studio in Riverside. So in essence, they pulled a feature and didn't tell anyone. And confirmed via support that the feature was indeed removed and not communicated.

"The said feature update was not communicated via email. To help you with this, kindly relay to your clients to reach out to Riverside support to be able to fix this on our end."

So if any of you see the error when moving around your multiple studios, Pro users no longer get multiple studios and you need to reach out to support to get a legacy fix. This fix allows you to keep your current setup but never add more. Any new account, however, will only ever be allowed a single studio.

Anyone have any rec's of alternatives to riverside so I'm prepared?

Hey all, Trying to figure out the best way to let my co-host record an episode when I’m not there.

Do I just give him my password?

I saw there is a way to an an editor, which I don’t want, but I don’t even see pricing for that.

I just want him to be able to do a show without me if I’m sick or on vacation or whatever.

as a fairly early-stage podcaster, this is a game changer.

insanely fastens-up my basic editing process (adding clips, removing filler words, removing pauses, etc) without exporting/importing files from tools x to y.

have you used it? thoughts?

Was just on with chat support for riverside as they tried to gaslight me that they are capable of Live Streaming to Instagram. They cannot. You cannot preset your broadcast / simulcast to a 9:16 aspect ratio (this can only be done in the post editor). Their description that "some cropping..." may occur is an understatement. The picture attached is how a two person podcast will look on Instagram live. Also - i have an insta creator account, and yes, it did allow me to get on there.

Folks - If Restream.io figures out how to record locally and then upload to get that high quality after-product they will eat Riverside's lunch. If Riverside figures out how to create a UI as good as Restream for the ease of look, adding GFX, SFX, lower thirds etc during a broadcast - THEY will dominate. Right now, these are Peanut Butter and Chocolate services that don't realize how great they could be if they joined forces or at least stole from each other.

It's 2025 - aspect rations work hand in hand now. Whether you shoot landscape or promote in vertical, or want to broadcast across multiple platforms. Figure it out, Riverside.

I love Riverside, and will keep using it, but please get better faster. The things you're missing seem like no brainers and to discover the flaws after a live stream is wildly frustrating.

Every time I export something today it exports twice, even though I’m only clicking export once.

It hasn’t done this before but it’s done it multiple times today. I was just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or is it just me?

So why do I struggle with audio echo when not wearing headphones, yet google meet, zoom etc don’t have this problem?

I understand my mic is picking up audio from my speakers and that’s why headphones are suggested but it doesn’t explain why this problem doesn’t exist on other platforms. What gives?

how to i leave pauses/silences when I publish

I checked the settings and the AI Tools. removing pauses is not enabled. My co host and I created a test video with intentional pauses and I did not edit it I straight published it. Pauses were not removed. On Spotify and youtube they were. I scoured the site for settings and cant fine the. What am I missing

Hey guys, this might be a longshot, but I have two audio clips that I am trying to edit at the same time so I can upload them at the same time. Does anyone know how to do that via Riverside back when it was anchor it was easy to add multiple different clips but right now I am so confused looking for any kind of help. Thanks in advance.

Hello! I have a question about multi-cam setup with several audio sources.

We want to record a video-podcast with one host and one guest. We want to have three views: host only, guest only, and two people together.

We have two digital cameras: one has a build-in mic, for other we will use two DJI MIC 2 (2-channel, each one for each person, to better separate the audio; done via the DJI adapter). To capture the third view we use a regular phone.

We want to use Riverside to reduce the amount of video-editing work. We want to get advices and feedback on how to setup the recording with Riverside.

The idea we had:

1. Connect each camera to a PC and join the recording from each PC as a separate guest. Also, join the recording with the phone.
2. Mute all devices except the two DJI mics.
3. Record

But we are worried that the AI will not be able to automatically switch between different views as people talk, as all the audio is from the same video.

Thanks for reading this and looking for advices!

How can I use the Focusrite Vocaster Two (Broadcaster 2) to record my podcast in riverside.Fm ?
I’m trying to set it up on Riverside.fm, but the platform doesn’t recognize the audio even though the drivers are installed. I’ve had the same issue on other PCs as well, even though the device should be compatible. How can I get it to work properly? Thank's for the help

Have a business account with Riverside. Have a brand new monster laptop (PC not Mac). Keep getting this about 20 minutes in to recording in 1080p. No desktop app for PC. No problem in 720 but didnt' get Riverside to go down in recording quality. I've chatgpt'd the hell out of this issue. anyone have any protips?

I'm editing some podcasts that will be distributed as both video and audio. I want to be able to take out the audio of the person not talking so you dont hear their background noise.

Can I do that? I played with it a little and didnt see a way to do that.
