A phone-blown recording studio.

Riverside’s mobile app records locally on your device instead of over the internet. This means you can always capture up to 4K video and 48kHz WAV audio even if your Wi-Fi drops, protecting your final file quality.
‍

Riverside also offers:

• Separate audio and video tracks for each guest, for maximum control in post-production.
• Progressive uploading to the cloud while you record, so you don’t have to wait for huge files after recording.
• A multicam option to use your phone as a second webcam for your desktop setup.
• Built-in video editing for trimming, captions, and basic edits.

For more advanced editing, you can continue in the desktop editor.
