Setup Steps
Record Your Podcast or Interview in Riverside
Host your session in Riverside as usual. Riverside records each participant locally at high quality, so your final export will have clean audio and video even with remote guests.
Export the Full Recording from Riverside
Once your session is complete, export the full composite video from Riverside. Choose the combined layout (all speakers visible) or a single-speaker track depending on how you want OpenClip to process the content.
Upload to OpenClip
Log in to OpenClip and upload your Riverside export. OpenClip accepts standard MP4 and MOV files. You can upload multiple episodes at once using batch processing.
Let OpenClip Detect Viral Moments
OpenClip's AI analyzes your recording's transcript using AI, scoring each segment by hook strength, narrative completeness, and viral potential. It surfaces 5–15 clip candidates per episode.
Review Clips, Apply Captions, and Export
Browse your clip candidates, select your preferred caption preset from OpenClip's 10 styles, and export in 9:16 vertical format for your target platforms.
Features
Studio Quality In, Viral Clips Out
Riverside's local recording ensures your source video is crisp and clear. OpenClip's AI then works with that high-quality footage to produce clips that look professional on any platform.
