Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

CapCut is a popular choice for quick mobile edits (and it’s owned by the same parent company as TikTok). It’s fine if you’re cutting short casual clips on your phone. But if you’re working with long-form content like podcasts, interviews, or webinars, uploading all that into CapCut becomes a hassle.

That’s where an all-in-one TikTok editor like Riverside offers makes sense. Record in high quality, auto-generate highlights, edit in one place, and export directly to TikTok or Reels.

It depends on what kind of creator you are. Mobile apps like InShot or CapCut work for quick, on-the-go edits, but they lack the power and flexibility for consistent publishing.
If you’re serious about building an audience, you’ll want software like Riverside that lets you: 

  • Record in professional quality
  • Auto-detect highlights
  • Style with captions and branding, and 
  • Export across multiple platforms. 

For creators and brands, Riverside combines recording, editing, and clipping in one platform.

We’ve got a full guide on the best TikTok editing apps, so you can go ahead and compare for yourself.

On Riverside, you can create clips for TikTok in two ways:

You can turn a longer recording into multiple clips using our AI tools:

  • Record, select, or upload a video you want to clip. 
  • At the top right, click “Create” then select “Magic Clips”
  • Adjust your settings for ratio, topic, speaker and styles, then click “Generate clips”

Just like that, you’ll get multiple clips from your recording. 

Your clips come with captions, branding, and everything edited. But, you can always click on a clip to edit it and make it the way you want it. 

You can create your own clips from scratch:

  • Log in and from your dashboard, click “Edit” to go to the editor.
  • Here you can either upload a new pre-recorded video, or click “Record” to make one from scratch.
  • Once you’ve got a recording, get a head start on editing and click “AI tools” to automatically cut filler words and fluff. 
  • Trim your video into a clip, or multiple clips, using the traditional timeline or text-based editor. Any text you delete in your video transcript automatically syncs in the video.
  • To clean up audio, click on “AI tools” again, where you’ll see various tools to enhance audio, cut background noise, and more.
  • In the AI tools menu, you also have the option to adjust your layout and fix eye contact.
  • Finally, style your video. Go to the toolbar where you can add “Captions”, Text”, “Videos”, and more.
