AutoPod vs Riverside

AutoPod is a pack of Adobe Premiere Pro extensions that automate the repetitive parts of video podcast editing. The Multi-Camera Editor cuts between up to 10 cameras and 10 microphones based on who is speaking, the Social Clip Creator exports 1920x1080, 1080x1350, and 1080x1920 clips from in/out points, and the Jump Cut Editor removes silence to keep social clips tight.

Unlike generic auto-edit tools that work across NLEs, AutoPod only targets Premiere Pro (with a separate DaVinci Resolve build) and trains its cuts on thousands of hours of podcast footage. That narrow focus means it handles solo shots, two-shots, three-shots, and wide shots out of the box, but it requires separate audio tracks per speaker and will not work with a single camera or single mic setup.

Video podcast producers and show editors who already live in Premiere Pro are the core audience. The $29 per month per-license price with a 30-day free trial targets freelancers and small teams who edit multi-cam interview shows weekly and want to skip the first-pass assembly before fine-tuning presets for their specific cutting style.

Riverside is a video editing and recording platform built for remote podcasts, interviews, and webinars. It records up to 4K video and uncompressed audio locally on each participant's device, so spotty internet does not tank quality. After recording, you edit in a text-based timeline, generate Magic Clips, captions, and show notes, then publish to YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts from the same workflow.

Zoom and Google Meet optimize for live calls, not post-production. Riverside records separate tracks locally, then layers AI cleanup, filler-word removal, and clip generation on top. The trade-off is that it is built for creators who publish regularly, not for one-off internal meetings that never leave the call app.

Podcasters, marketers, and producers at companies like Spotify and The New York Times use Riverside for studio-style remote recordings. Founded in 2020 by brothers Gideon and Nadav, the product now lives at riverside.com while riverside.fm redirects to the same experience.
