[@heal_to_evolve]

Thank you for this video. I am in the process of starting a podcast.

[@Riversidefm]

Best of luck! Let us know if you have any questions as you get started!

[@AmeenaChannel]

Just what I needed in such a helpful and accessible style! Thank you!🌷

[@Riversidefm]

Glad it helped!

[@mollyanderson5755]

Thank you so much! I was trying to do this last night (with the exact mic and headphones that are recommended) and my interviewee could not hear me at all. I think I’ll try it again, but plug the headphones into the mic like you suggested.

[@Riversidefm]

Let us know if that works for you!

[@UnclearcticaOG]

your kindness and words are very helpful, i plan to be as thorough with my own letters one day !!

Quick Question. I recorded a Test Podcast (Video And Audio On Riverside) And me And My Guest Both Left Before the Download For the Files Were Complete To 100%. The Video Was Very Out Of Sync And Etc Is this Because you Need to Let All the Audio Files Download To 100% first or is there anything else that makes my podcast Not Sync Properly And Doesn’t Generate The Whole Podcast Start to Finish. Thanks

[@Riversidefm]

You and your guest may need to visit this link in the browser and on the computer you used to record: riverside.fm/upload it will look for any unfinished uploaded files and complete the process. If you're still having trouble, click the question icon in your Riverside dashboard and start a live chat, they can help!

[@hamsazwain]

is it possible to use the iphone as a cam if you're not using a mac? Or maybe another phone cam?

[@Riversidefm]

There are third-party apps like Camp that allow you to use an iPhone as a webcam even with a windows pc. I go through those options here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJa4fHybn9SsbJIsi=kdWIQywOEvpUBPCr

[@jamesmiller2323]

I am keen to know about adding intro and outro and transition music or effects to a podcast. Is that done in riverside or in editing software after the podcast is made?

[@Riversidefm]

We're working hard to offer this in the Riverside editor...so stay tuned! (Very soon)

[@helenawisdom6654]

Can I upload an existing video into Riverside and create Magic Clips for promotion to social media platforms

[@Riversidefm]

You can now! In your Riverside dashboard there's a new upload button to do just that.

[@BillRyan-q3x]

Hey Stephen. I just found Riverside last night. Watching several of your videos, I don't see a microphone. What are you using in this video?

[@Riversidefm]

Hey Bill! I record with a Sennheiser MKH416 mic off camera.

[@anthonytirri]

Hi, This may be elementary but what happens when you "publish" an episode on Transistor? Where does it go? Can people listen to the podcast? I'm confused with the show being "published" but it's not on a platform like Apple or Spotify.

[@Riversidefm]

You need to submit your RSS feed to Apple Podcasts and Spotify separate. That's a one-time process. Then every time you publish a new episode in something like transistor, the episode will show up everywhere for people to listen. you can learn more about that process here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iajNeHdjnKx_gJIsi=4Hik9nXXZcIVZmaA

[@aiknowsomething]

I love your thumbnail you look so kind

[@Riversidefm]

Appreciate that 🙏

[@serialprogressseeker]

These are awesome tips!

[@Riversidefm]

Appreciate that!

[@AmberLucero]

Are you able to export video and also export just the audio for Spotify/ apple podcast.

[@Riversidefm]

Yes you can! Our export flow has been updated here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqnYaXuFa7Sjmqcsi=E6Ki1YGzXZ_6WRxl

[@LPQtrades]

Robles!!!! Albert here!! Great job!! .

[@Riversidefm]

thanks man! Glad you found the channel 😉

[@tonyfisher8955]

How do you add music and effects in post? Can you do it on the Riverside app or do you need to upload to external editing software?

[@Riversidefm]

For that you'll need to edit in external software! You *can* add intro and outro clips directly in the Riverside editor though!

[@Lets_TalkwithTwist]

Told you we get everting we need from one video. I just got some new equipment 😎🫡

[@Riversidefm]

nice!

[@havenj9145ify]

I have Riverside and unable to figure it out. Is there a way to have a background layout while doing a live stream?

[@Riversidefm]

Not just yet, but stay tuned!

[@hamza509]

Does it work with android for camera ?

[@Riversidefm]

Yes, very soon you'll be able to use your Android device as a webcam with Riverside!

[@hamza509]

@@Riversidefm thank you, is it gonna be in 2024 ? Also i have a sony a7iii and i can't connect it to riverside, do you know how to do it please ?

[@funkovader]

He there great video, I have a question in the editing mode is it also possible with layout with multiple quest instead of 2 , 3 or 4 guest

[@Riversidefm]

You can place multiple guests side-by-side or use our AI layout to focus on the main speaker and everyone else in picture-in-picture. You just can't change layouts mid-edit (but we know that's an often requested feature...)

[@u9v1c2]

So maybe this is a dumb question, but with Riverside, for a Video podcast, would we still need to purchase an audio recording device? such as the zoom podtrak device? Or does riverside take care of that as well?

[@Riversidefm]

No bad questions! And if you have a USB mic and a computer, Riverside will be your "recording device." Audio files are recorded locally once you start a Riverside recording, and you'll be able to access those files from your Riverside dashboard once you're done!

[@u9v1c2]

Thanks@@Riversidefm

[@johncoumarianos1]

Why is Transistor (or something like it) needed in addition to Riverside? Why won't Riverside actually do the publishing? And if Riverside doesn't do the publishing, what is what it does called?

[@Riversidefm]

Riverside records and edits your content, and saves those recordings for you. A podcast host like transistor distributes an RSS feed to apps like Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

[@ScottJohnsonHealth]

Why set the audio and speakers to the microphone? Wouldn't you want to set the speakers to your headphones if they are plugged into a mixer?

[@Riversidefm]

If you're using a mixer, yes you can do that for sure. But when using a USB mic specifically, plugging in the headphones to the mic is the only way to monitor your own voice with zero latency

[@SofiesSpectrum]

This is super helpful, thank you! Just one question, on the pricing plan it states "5 hours of separate audio & video tracks per month", so if I had 4 guests + myself for one episode and we recorded for an hour, would that be all my hours gone? or is it per recording session? thanks

[@Riversidefm]

That's per recording session! So with 4 guests + yourself recording for 1 hour, that's 1 hour on Riverside. You should be able to do a weekly, hour-long podcast on the plan with your setup!

[@SofiesSpectrum]

@@Riversidefm That's great! Thank you for your help!

[@jesusfreak7777]

Same issues as others .. Im starting to regret joining riverside. See since they don't explain the full process i made and open a Spotify Podcast account and apple aswell before doing my clips on riverside. Now im more confused then ever. I never was told about transistor because riverside avoids it and makes more videos about lights and microphone etc.

[@Riversidefm]

Sorry for the confusion, he have videos on podcast hosts specifically here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip-6cmZ6bbSJetksi=wXMBrMoonRDJMcOZ

[@michaelyearby]

Do you guys offer the live streaming option for social platforms, and if which ones?

[@Riversidefm]

We do! KZbin, X, formerly known as X, formerly known as Twitter, FaceBook Pages, LinkedIn, Twitch, and any RTMP destination!

[@GaryDunn-j5w]

I have been trying to get someone from Riverside sales to contact me about an business account. I just went on line again and followed through on support trying to schedule a meeting and then received a message" Oh no something went wrong we could schedule" HELP

[@Riversidefm]

We're sorry about that. I will get a good email address for you and reply back soon.

[@GaryDunn-j5w]

Still waiting to talk to someone. This is getting very frustrating.@@Riversidefm

[@SarahRyan2002]

Trying to figure out how to use Riverside is just not happening.

[@Riversidefm]

Sorry about that! Where are you getting stuck? I may be able to send a specific video on that step.

[@SarahRyan2002]

I'm sorry I'm sincerely not trying to be rude. But could you make a video for beginners please? This video has too much information, most of which I do not understand. If it was just basic information on how to use Riverside, then that would have been great. @@Riversidefm

[@bravevisionaries]

❤🎉😊

[@Riversidefm]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Ernest-iy4ql]

No disrespect, what makes your video different from all the other individuals. That's showing individuals how to start a podcast, From what I been watching and hearing they all start off about the equipment. And they never take there time to really explain things to new individuals, so far you are doing a great job

[@Riversidefm]

Appreciate you watching, and we're hoping to give all the details to walk through the process!

[@Ernest-iy4ql]

@Riversidefm when you do a cover for your podcast, what am I supposed to do with my podcast cover

[@jayfelle2357]

I can hear you very clearly but you rarely had the microphone up to your mouth, how is that????

[@Riversidefm]

I was using the Sennheiser MKH 416 shotgun mic for the audio for this video, not the mic I was holding in-hand.

[@jayfelle2357]
