How to splice videos on Riverside

Riverside has a traditional video editing timeline color-coded by speakers and includes automatic chapters.

Here’s how to splice videos using the timeline:

  • Trim the recording: Drag the edges of your clip to adjust its length, either shortening or lengthening it.
  • Use the splice tool: Place the playhead at the starting point where you want to make the cut. Click the splice tool to create the first cut. Then, move the playhead to the endpoint and repeat the process.
  • Delete a section: Once you've made the cuts, click on the segment you want to remove and select “Delete.”
  • Rearrange segments: If you'd like to move segments around instead of deleting them, just drag and drop the cut sections to rearrange them.

With Riverside's text-based editor, splicing becomes even easier, allowing you to cut and edit your video like you would a document by simply deleting or moving text-based sections of the script.
