Used @RiversidedotFM after reviewing around eight other tools. I am so stoked I made the right choice. At no point I got confused. Perfect balance of getting the user to do what they want and how they want it. Most importantly, everyone in the episode found it easy.

My god, @RiversidedotFM is legit the best product I've got to use this year.
It's well worth the money. It saves 10-15 hours per episode, for only $20 a month.
Well done team!

There is no better feeling when you're paying for software, and the updates just keep getting better and better. You get excited to read the email updates. Very rare, but when it hits... it hits right. Looking at your @RiversidedotFM. Y'all are just leveling up.

Riverside is such impressive software. I'm opening up my talk with Chuck Pezeshki last night and a whole host of AI toys await me at the studio page. Chopped clips with titles, transcripts, summaries and notes. Really cool! What an amazing time to be alive.
