How to Produce the BEST Remote Video Interviews | Riverside Masterclass

[@drwahan]

This was great. Thank you

[@Riversidefm]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chrisgavin]

Really Interesting. I'm looking for some real world examples of really nicely shot remote interview recordings. They don't have to be live podcasts, but remote interviews that show what can be done beyond Zoom recording. Do you have some examples to show how good the quality and direction can be for this format ?

[@Riversidefm]

The Vergecast uses Riverside to record remote guests, you can see their podcast here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJXOqJaPfs9ppbcsi=wwpkhb4VVqjTEpw7

[@Cleanwithmepodcast]

I love your channel! As a host, if I share the guest link, is that link just for the current session, or is it always that same link for my studio?

[@Riversidefm]

It's the same link every time! So you can include it in a recurring event invite and you're good to go.

I'm a guest trying to download the app prior to an interview. I'm not getting the option to download only "join as guest" or "continue with spotify" & or log in / sign up ... I assume I no longer have to download the app, just join as a guest? I'm planing to use a DJI Wireless 2 microphone / transmitter connected to my iphone 15. Will that work? Lastly I assume the front camera is a decent enough quality? Thanks in advance for answering

[@Riversidefm]

You still need to download the app for join the call, there will be a place to paste the link your host sends you. But you do NOT need to login to the app to use it. On the DJI mic, you won’t be able to hear your remote host through that mic connected directly to the phone. You may need to toggle between speaking and listening, or just use the built-in iPhone mic.

Thanks

Great content!

[@Riversidefm]

Appreciate it!

[@oscardtrimboli]

This is a fantastic video for a host, is there an existing video in this level of detail for the guest between 3 to 5 minutes? if not could you record one - I am sure every Riverside customer would want to share it with their guests?

[@Riversidefm]

Glad it was useful for you! And for guests, this video might be helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naWmnmN5j9iBfLs

[@oscardtrimboli]

@@Riversidefm thank you - in this video you are addressing the host, rather than the guest - I am curious if there is a video addressing the guest about their experience commencing with receiving the studio link?

[@demiscy]

on 9:05 you mention a video but it is not referenced in the description. can you point me to it?

[@Heldenchaos]

Thank you for all the great input! 🙏 Are there any plans to support more browsers as chrome and edge? That would be a reason to switch to Riverside. Thanks!

[@Riversidefm]

You're welcome! And stay tuned, we have some helpful new things coming 😉

[@Heldenchaos]

Thank you,@@Riversidefm! Can't wait to see you further updates and features. 😊

[@othellochase]

Good evening. I love this video. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾. I am going to play around with Riverside FM until I master it. I’m also interested in this AI video that you were talking about. I would love to watch that that ability is something that I need for what I’m going to be producing in the near future. That would help me out so much.especially when it comes to applying. The subtitles are should say captions in different languages. That’s what I would like to do is to take the same video and have it reproduced if that’s what it does with captions that are in different languages. I hope this makes sense.

[@Riversidefm]

We get it! And at the moment we don't offer that kind of translation feature, but will let the team know that's a feature request!

[@ListenWeekly]

Thank you for this video. Does it matter or not if the host and / or guest record their video in landscape mode vs vertical?

[@Riversidefm]

Your'e welcome! We would recommend recording in landscape, this way if you'd like to create different aspect ratio clips, like vertical video for KZbin Short, both your framed videos will match!

[@growandglowlife]

Hi Mr Beard thank you for the tips - can you share info on the lighting setup and camera you used on this video?

[@Riversidefm]

You're welcome! And here's an in-depth look at my setup: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZjImJKKo9OXpLssi=nduiALAvB-lOgatY

Hi Riverside I have started a podcast with my friend. So there’s two of us hosting. Is it possible for the two of us to link two separate microphones to river side in one laptop so that we both can sit in the same physical studio together and record from the same physical room? We sit across from Each other at a table. Will the two microphones interfere? We are currently using PODBEAN and I have a microphone input set up for two separate mics. Does riverside allow this? What about with guest speakers as well who call in remotely ? Or if I set up a third mic in our physical studio can three of us sit in the same room and record? Thank you! Any videos you may have on this topic please send them my way.

[@Riversidefm]

Hi there! We have a video on exactly that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inuQdo2od9x_iposi=NvAUXhA4DMyNiQLN

[@chrisgavin]

I'm trialling this now. Mostly my testing is going well, but I'm finding that certain features are locked away in 'Business Plan' and aren't accessible even in the 'Pro' version. My issue with Riverside is that the 'Business Plan' level doesn't have a fixed and advertised price plan, instead users are invited to get into a discussion with sales people at Riverside to find out how much Business Plan will cost. I've not heard an actual quote back yet, but I suspect this could be very pricey ... who knows ? I'd much rather that the features/pricing for Riverside was more up front and transparent.

[@Riversidefm]

What feature are you wanting specifically on the Pro plan?

[@chrisgavin]

@@Riversidefm hi, I've got the 'pro' version, but ... 1: Can't view and check interviewees in full 16x9 'full view' just a narrower ratio, so can't monitor and compose the frame properly. 'Full View' is a 'business'' setting. 2: Can't remotely change and check interviewees camera and microphone remotely. Apparently this is a "business" setting. 3: in any version I can't set the recording mic level for my interviewees remotely. There is a mic slider, but this doesn't affect the audio recording level that is saved. So this doesn't seem to be possible in any version. I want to be able to record some interviews remotely and to be able to check and fix any tech issues remotely during the session so that the interviewees can concentrate on their stories and not need to fiddle about too much with technical issues. I shouldn't need to ask interviewees to check the right microphone input is being used or to stop and find their audio/microphone level settings outside of Riverside. These are things I was surprised to not find in Riverside "pro: subscription level. I hope this feedback helps.

[@HeavilyMetalled]

So how do you edit out duplicate words, or words such as "um", "you know", etc. ? Can you add an intro/outro?

[@Riversidefm]

We have a tool launching VERY soon for those filler words, and yes, you're able to add an intro and outro right now!

[@marcisepulveda363]

One thing I didn't see, does Riverside offer backgrounds?

[@Riversidefm]

We offer virtual backgrounds on our mobile app and Mac app, you can download that here: riverside.fm/mac-app

[@love_snd]

If I am doing a remote podcast and my guests are two people in one room, do each of them need their own device and headphones? I somehow can't figure out how to resolve that issue.

[@Riversidefm]

Answered in the other comment, but here's a great explainer for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inuQdo2od9x_iposi=QRvv2v9JczE_Dc0W

[@MichaelWilliams-lo3ix]

Awesome

[@Riversidefm]

Glad it was helpful!

[@maxerodri7286]

I have experienced issues with guest saying they can hear themselves double everytime they joined which forced me to use zoom TRASH. Is there a fix or workaround for this, we even used echo cancellation etc.

[@Riversidefm]

What audio interface are you using? If it's a Rodecaster Pro or similar, you may need to get into the Rode connect app and choose the mix-minus setting. If it's another interface, let me know and I'll share some instructions!

[@braintumoraunty]

I am having this problem with my rodecaster. My guest said, I have a echo. It also shows on our joint screen we keep loosing connection.

[@joemiller9856]

Any plans for exporting a time line for Final Cut Pro in addition to adobe premier?

[@Riversidefm]

Stay tuned!

[@aparmar-no1qg]

I’ve got 3 guests live, how do I connect the different cameras and Mike’s two Riverside?

[@aparmar-no1qg]

Mic’s or Mike’s

[@Riversidefm]

We would recommend an audio interface into Riverside, but you will need to records the in-person mics separately to have those individual audio files. The cameras can all go into a BlackMagic ATEM switcher and then Riverside will use that as the "video source". Here is info on recording with in-person and remote guests in Riverside: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJXOlH-copZnhZYsi=AqYAMNGHJD2lq8E9 and on using a video switcher here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4fEeJechrVgq5Isi=DwNEtRXBmyEaMrAw

[@poeticgeenetikstv1000]

What if we want to do an all cellphone podcast

[@Riversidefm]

You can use the Riverside app on several mobile devices for that! I explain here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXyUpKydprKeiJosi=cmu2g7unawvyVBf6

[@britmorgan8480]

Can you help me with doing a recording with a host in the same room and we interview someone remotely?

[@britmorgan8480]

I had a lot of feedback when we tried to do this the other day.

[@Riversidefm]

That requires a little more setup, I explain here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJXOlH-copZnhZYsi=Ir4snL_aokFUeAa7

[@Chaneldelarosaa]

If my guest leaves before recording is fully uploaded, will it definitely be able to be rescued?

[@Riversidefm]

It depends on whether they restart the computer, or the browser empties its cache. Encourage them to visit: riverside.fm/upload as soon as possible to retrieve the rest of the recording.

[@Chaneldelarosaa]

Wish I saw this video before the interview 😢

[@yourhealthmatters9070]

I am a little confused. You say several times it is best to use headphones but you aren't using headphones. ???

[@AlexEdfort]

He’s not recording a remote podcast.

[@yourhealthmatters9070]

@@AlexEdfort I assume he is using the platform to record this. Am I correct?

[@Riversidefm]

I actually film these videos locally on camera, so I was not using the platform to record myself in this video.
