Eklipse vs Riverside

Eklipse turns Twitch, Kick, and YouTube streams into short-form clips without you scrubbing hour-long VODs by hand. You connect a streaming account, and Eklipse pulls whole broadcasts from the cloud, scores standout gameplay and reaction moments, then hands back vertical clips sized for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Detection, reframing, captioning, and rendering all run on Eklipse servers, so you do not need capture software running during the stream.

Speech-first clippers lean on microphone spikes, which means a quiet headshot or clutch play can slip through unnoticed. Eklipse Gameplay Intelligence reads on-screen game state across 3,000-plus titles, scoring kills, round wins, chat spikes, and audio peaks together. That game-aware approach also covers Just Chatting, IRL, and podcast segments since the June 2026 engine update, without you marking timestamps by hand.

The workflow suits competitive gamers who stream nightly but post inconsistently, variety creators juggling multiple platforms, and editors who want Eklipse Studio for manual 9:16 reframing when AI picks need a trim. Voice Command lets you say "clip it" mid-match, Content Planner queues posts to four social destinations, and the mobile app covers review on the go.

Eklipse also ships AI Edit for one-pass meme and caption styling, Ultra Highlights exports up to 1440p, and console streamer support for PlayStation and Xbox feeds without a desktop capture workflow. The company reports more than 10 million clips generated and 822,000 streamers on the platform as of July 2026.

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.
