Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best video editor?

Choosing the best video editor really depends on various factors, like what content you’re making and what you’re trying to get out of your editor. Your first thought might be Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro, but these are advanced video editors, and they’re not fit for everyone. 

If you’re just creating social media content, a podcast, or a marketing video, you’d rather choose software that’s easy to use and cuts down on editing time. For this, we suggest Riverside. With our automated AI editing tools, you can create a professional video with only a few simple clicks.

What is the best free online video editor?

Editing online doesn’t mean sacrificing quality or ease of use. There is a wide variety of online video editors to choose from, all catering to different skills and needs. If you’re looking for seamless editing in less than half the time, then we suggest trying Riverside. You can access Riverside online from any Mac or PC desktop, and you can record directly on our site, or you can upload any recording to edit in our Editor.

How do I start video editing?

If you’re a complete beginner, we suggest you start by checking out video editing tutorials. You should start with the basics and go over trimming, transitions, audio, effects, and more, then work your way up. The good news is that with today’s technology, you don’t need to be a professional to create top-quality content. 

With a platform like Riverside, you can edit a video in half the time. It’s as simple as working with a text document. Record on Riverside, upload your content, or both, then click ‘Go to Editor’ in the dashboard. Here, you can edit your video by editing your video transcript. Start cutting, copying, pasting, and moving things around. The rest will come naturally.

How can I edit a video for free with Riverside's video editor?


Sign up. That’s it. Once you’ve done that you can either upload a video or record on Riverside. The recorder and editor are included in all our plans, from free to enterprise.

What do most YouTubers use to edit their videos?

Many YouTubers use advanced platforms like Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro, but this isn’t ideal for everyone. Many YouTubers have had years of experience, or they hire professional editors to do the hard work for them. The above YouTube editing platforms have complex tools, and if you’re just creating social media content, you likely won’t need all of them.

A better option would be to try an automated video editor like Riverside, which has everything you need but will save you tons of editing time! With text-based editing, a seamless color-coded editing timeline, and AI tools for polished audio, captions, and clips, you’ll create professional content with little effort.

Why should I use Riverside to edit my videos?

If you want to reduce editing time while maintaining high-quality content, Riverside is your solution. Riverside brings together all the foundational functionalities you expect to find in an editor, along with some high-end, innovative features. Expect a seamless workflow with a color-coded timeline for speakers, easy chapter markers, text-based editing, and AI tools for transcription and captions, audio-fine-tuning, plus social media clips. With all these features, it’s ideal for any podcast or talking head content. 

Our platform remains extremely simple and intuitive to use. We achieve this by:

1. Refraining from overloading our software with tools and enhancements you’ll have very little use for.
2.  Researching and testing different design and UI options so that anyone can do it with no past experience or learning curve involved.

The editor you wished
for, re-imagined.
