[@LaurenWise-11]

Am I able to re-record sections of the recording in the "edit" feature? That seemed to be the only thing I was missing/not seeing available in Edit mode. Thanks!

[@Riversidefm]

You can record another segment in your studio, and then in our editor you can splice that in to your original recording!

[@ELIMindfulInvestor]

How may we blur background?

[@DrHaley]

I suspect there is a way to add show music, commercials, intros, outros, etc.? I'm starting with the lesser plan so as to not be overwhelmed. I have been using Zoom and have been putting off changing, lol. Can someone else log in to my account to edit the content? Does it make sense to use a screen capture in case the guest content isn't uploaded? Lots of questions...

[@Riversidefm]

Keep the questions coming! Right now you can add intros, outs, and commercials right in the Riverside editor. Just click the + icons at the beginning, end, or in-between cuts in the timeline. Adding music isn't available just yet, but coming very soon. You can send someone a link to download all the files without giving them your login too! And we don't find a screen capture is necessary when recording with Riverside. You actually get backup files in addition to the high quality local recordings every time!

[@shanpopkin1]

Hey, if I edit like shown in this video, can I download the edited audio files as individual tracks? Thank you!

[@Riversidefm]

We don't currently offer that ability.

[@ExperienceRedemption]

Is there a way to add a timer countdown during a live recording in riverside? Kinda like “Pardon the Interruption” ?

[@Riversidefm]

I would recommend adding a countdown video to the media board and you can play that! I show that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5bRl3p9a9Oijbssi=qTNUK-10b_qUiNex

[@kbtindal5252]

What camera and microphone are you using if I may ask please?

[@Riversidefm]

Sony A7IV with Sigma 35mm lens and a Sennhesier MKH 416

[@CarlosNMartin]

I was set to use Riverside, then found ecamm, but I am not sure which I should use. I like that I can do scenes with ecamm, but Riversides local recording makes me feel better. I don't want to have to do a bunch of after editing, and I don't want to buy something when I already have iMovie. I will be doing both in person and remote interviews, and I bought a elgato switcher for flow. What advice do you have?

[@Riversidefm]

ecamm is a great product, especially for live streaming, but when it comes to putting it together quickly after recording, our editor has become very powerful. And we have some features launching in the next two weeks that may be useful for you! You can see how fast the editing can be here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmG7ZaGwer2Zprcfeature=shared

[@CarlosNMartin]

@@Riversidefm Thank you. I don't plan on live streaming at all, but want to be able to do in person and remote interviews, with one or three cameras depending. Graphics are also a plus for me, as I want to be able to have information on screen, and doing it as I go is a plus to limited editing as well.

[@salesspice]

Wow! Do you guys have a trial licence, so I can test this out?

[@Riversidefm]

We have a free tier you can use to record right now! You can see all the plans here: riverside.fm/pricing

[@_michalbajor]

Is it possible to have the video uploaded the same way it was recorded? After I upload, the video is reversed such as in front vs back camera. Thanks!

[@Riversidefm]

Yes! Go into your studio settings and choose "Mirror video"

[@willemneill5418]

How does the editing work when you want introduce audio files that have either been recorded in a different session or a different platform entirely?

[@Riversidefm]

You can upload audio or video files right inside the editor and splice them in wherever you'd like! Just split a section, hold your mouse in-between, and you'll see a + button to upload

[@rashidaalsina]

Hello I tried testing out Riverside me and my guest were set up to record but I was unable to hear her on the other end , just wondering is that because we only used the free version just wondering what the issue may have been. thanks : )

[@Riversidefm]

You should definitely be able to hear remote guests on the free version? Could you tell what mic they were using and if it was selected properly in the studio? Also, some mics have an on/off switch. You can also see under their name in the Riverside studio whether or not their channel is getting audio signal with the green bar that moves up and down.

[@Social0007]

I've seen a video podcast that people could call in during the podcast. Does Riverside have that option

[@Riversidefm]

Yes we do! When you share the "audience" link from your studio, anyone can watch live and request to "call in" with video and audio!

[@SostenesLima-yf3jy]

If I'm doing a separate video for an intro of the podcast how do I merge that in with the rest of the recorded video/podcast? Thanks

[@Riversidefm]

You can click the + icon at the beginning of the timeline in the Riverside editor and upload a video clip there!

[@toddharrington588]

how do I add music to my podcast in various portions..intro, and ending...and what if we want to insert an advertising/promo

[@dejuanknight1517]

i use a different editing program to add those types of things to my Riverside recordings

[@Riversidefm]

You can upload clips in the editor using the + icon at the end of the timeline to insert in the middle, beginning, or end of your recording! We don't have a way to layer it underneath your spoken content.

[@cjsutton]

How long does Magic Audio take to run? I started it about 30 minutes ago and it's still spinning. This is on a 53-minute video recording.

[@Riversidefm]

It should finish by then. Use our live chat support and they will be able to help.

[@georgebaidoojr]

Can riverside capture sound coming from our PC/software?. I'm asking for someone who wants to make music production videos.

[@Riversidefm]

If you screen share with audio, sound can be recorded, but for your use case we would recommend an app like Loopback. You can learn more here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYCkY3iuaKamea8si=OSNDVa3LvjZnQt_m

[@isabelrojas4637]

I have to other co host do I put them under guest?

[@Riversidefm]

That's correct! Anyone joining you who you want to be recorded should join as a guest.

[@kbtindal5252]

Can you add design templates and text like you can in Zoom around the people in the video

[@Riversidefm]

Right now we have that available in our editor, but not during the live recording just yet.

[@erikabrown6804]

I would like to switch the visual order of my guests. How do I do that? The person in the center isn’t the one that I want

[@Riversidefm]

Click on the tracks tool in the upper right corner of the editor, then use the small lines to drag and reorder how they appear!

[@saltystoneretreat9026]

I am curious if this is a place to have a purchasable recording such as a class or an interview?

[@Riversidefm]

If you. mean recording online classroom content or an interview, yes! Riverside is perfect for that.

[@saltystoneretreat9026]

Do you have a KZbin around teaching classes. How it works. Features & how is it different than using KZbin?

[@toddharrington588]

also, can i be the producer and a co-host on my podcast...meaning watch the levels and be part of the inteview?

[@Riversidefm]

As the host you will see the levels just like a producer. You don't need to join specifically as a producer.

[@TheRockPilePodcast]

Does riverside have overlays ?

[@Riversidefm]

When recording / streaming live, or in the editor? Is the editor, we have text overlays available right now, and more overlay features coming soon!

[@GarvJain-uy8vc]

what maximum time i can record if i have 4 tiles

[@Riversidefm]

It depends on your plan, like the Pro plan allows for 15 hours per month!

[@take5367]

How many guest contributors can join a show at the same time?

[@Riversidefm]

8 total can be recorded.

[@Cartup12]

How I could setect part of the video to delete it?

[@Riversidefm]

You can search the transcript or highlight any text, then press the keyboard delete key to remove it!

[@calvarychapelpuertovallart99]

Can I invite someone to do the remote editing and to upload the Podcast to Spotify?

[@Riversidefm]

You can send the share link on a studio or individual recording and someone else can download your files to edit externally. But to invite someone and use your editor would require a business plan and team members.

[@sorjames-itsachoice]

Is chroma Key 🔑 on the map ?

[@Riversidefm]

We'll share with the team as a request!

[@BrandonColePhotography]

I have been using riverside for 2 weeks now. i think im going back to streamyard. I do not like the limitations of riverside vs streamyard. The lack of logos, overlays, cant move the windows for viewers, guest management having more then one guest. Riverside is cool with editing, backup track and mobile, but when it comes to things like the actual things you can do during a podcast or guest windows, riverside seriously lacks. I love making the windows FULL or fill, split, etc DURING the interview. You cannot do anything during the actual interview. Also no capability for STREAMDECK.

[@Riversidefm]

We hear you on that, and understand the live streaming capabilities are a priority for you. We know many users have similar requests and we're working on it!

[@BrandonColePhotography]

I dont like the fact that riverside does not provide different layouts DURING the actual podcast. You cant change the views between you and your guest to make it more fun, appealing and keep it interesting. Even when you edit the video, you can only choose ONE layout. You cant change the layout in another other part of the clip for a different layout. That sucks. I even tried splicing the video and changing the layout and NOPE still stuck with the same layout. This is coming from someone who just changed from streamyard because of the high quality but I think im going back to 1080 because this has way to many restrictions and I hate people are not talking about it or telling people the truth.

[@Riversidefm]

We understand that's a much requested feature, stay tuned!
