How to customise your workspace in Riverside's new editor so the layout fits the way you actually work, and change it as you go.

The video covers:

  • Opening a sidebar to navigate between edits, magic hooks, clips and exports
  • Dragging the middle divider to resize the transcript and video panes
  • Giving the transcript more room when editing by text
  • Expanding the timeline to show image and text overlay layers
  • Hiding the timeline entirely when you are not using it
  • Opening and closing Co-creator from its own button

00:00 One of the great things about the new editor is that you can customize your workspace so that you can have it look exactly as you want it to look so that you can work at your best because just like your office desk or your studio, we all like things a little bit different. So let me show you some of the customization options you now have on the left, you now have all of your tools, like your AI tools, overlays, and your media, but you also, if you click right into this button right over here, you can open the sidebar from there.

00:24 You can navigate to different edits. So for example, all of your magic hooks are here. Maybe you want to show all of your magic clips and navigate between them. You'll have all of your edits right over here, along with any exports, even have your show notes so that you can access them all very easily right from your editor.

00:41 You can also just close it at any time by just going up to the top over here and pressing close that sidebar. When I'm editing using the transcript, I like to have as much space as possible. So if I put my cursor right in the middle, I can actually have that be larger, have the video be larger on the side and kind of collapse the transcript, whether I'm working on my video or my transcript, that is how I decide whether or not I want to collapse either of those things.

01:05 So I can prioritize one over the other. I could also do the same thing to the timeline. So I can expand right over here. If I have a bunch of image overlays and texts, it'll show right over at the top. And I can really zoom in and really prioritize the timeline on my screen. If I'm not using the timeline at all, then I could just go right over here to hide timeline and it's gone.

01:26 But let's bring the timeline back. And if I want to make a cut, for example, if I go into here and cut it, I can still scroll in and be able to show the parts that I cut. I could even bring this over like that. And you can bring back those cuts just by sliding the timeline in and out. And lastly, my favorite, the co-creator, you can find it right over here on this co-creator button and type in any of the edits that you want to make.

01:51 And whenever you're done with using the co-creator, you could just click right here and close out of it. And so between the new navigation, being able to adjust different parts of your screen to really focus on the transcript, the video, the timeline, and being able to use that co-creator, there are a lot of ways that you can customize your workspace so that it works best for you.

02:09 And as you're editing, you can feel free to use it flexibly. So maybe at one time you want the timeline expanded. Maybe at one time you want it hidden. Play around with it because at different times, different parts will work best for you. So try customizing your workspace and see how it helps you edit in the new Riverside editor.
