You have to redo your recordings 10000000x times due to issues with the system or glitches. I literally was so patient with them but I'm so done with this software. Literally run away and go find another company that makes real products. ----- ### "Riverside Makes Podcasting Easy" — 4.0/5 > **Kelly** | *April 4, 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: They have made so many upgrades since I started using it 2 years ago. It's easy to record and editing has gotten a lot easier. > > **Cons**: It's still very glitchy. We I'm editing the buffering sometimes drives me mad. i don't know if it's them or my wifi connection. And when I used the VideoDub to edit a word in a Magic Clip it also changed the word not just in that clip but in the longer episode and I didn't like the way it sounds. Couldn't change it back. > > Overall I guess the pros out weigh the cons. It's not perfect but I would say it's a good experience. I like that they are always adding new things. ----- ### "HIGHLY Recomnend Riverside\! All the Way\!" — 5.0/5 > **Debbie** | *June 26, 2026* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am impressed with all the great features that Riverside provides. I satisfied with the audio, etc. > > **Cons**: I have zero complaints with any of the features or support provided by the super team. Impressed with great support it provides. > > My overall experience is OUTSTANDING from every angle. I really enjoy the live stream, the host website, etc ----- ### "Great product, outstripping support and training though." — 4.0/5 > **Matt** | *July 13, 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoy all the capabilities it provides. Being able to record, edit, and publish all right from here is fantastic. > > **Cons**: With all the capabilities it has, there has to be some sort of additional training outside of just the youtube videos because they don't give the amound of detail needed to really become and expert in the product. Wholesale changes to the interface was also an unwelcome shock to the system. > > Overall very good until something goes wrong becuase the support is not up to the quality of the program itself. Too hard to reach, too long to respond... ----- ### "Stick with Zoom over Riverside\!" — 3.0/5 > **Shannon** | *November 22, 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really liked the video download quality. It was clear and high quality recordings I could use in my self-paced courses. I also liked many of the editing features like being able to take out portions of video by simply taking out the text transcript. So easy\! > > **Cons**: A lot of things were not as good as Zoom. You can’t share sound only. If you want to share your computer sound you must also share that screen with your audience or students. I’m a dance teacher so this is a feature I have to have. You can buy MP3s and then upload them to Riverside and play them, but the music will not line up with your body movements or mouth if you’re a singer in the recording. Laying music tracks over your video is nearly impossible in the editor because it randomly just jumps around. You also can’t animate graphics or text like you can if editing in Canva. Meaning, you can’t have things bounce in or anything special. The screen share is also an odd view, there is white space in the recording over the screen. > > Overall, it may be good for talking head videos or podcasters, but if you are an educator or want music or the ability to have a lot of co grip over the timeline graphics and text, this is not the software I would choose. The price is reasonable, but features just aren’t there for me that I use daily. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1042331/riverside?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1042331/riverside) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
