What makes Clipzi a better Riverside alternative?

Clip video you recorded anywhere

Riverside's clips come from sessions recorded inside Riverside. Clipzi takes any file: a Zoom call, an old YouTube upload, a webinar, footage from your camera. You don't have to move your recording setup to get clips out of it.

A dedicated clip editor

Clipping is the whole point here, so the tools go deeper. AI moment search jumps to the part you describe, the keyframe crop editor controls the 9:16 framing, and karaoke captions land automatically.

Cheaper for clips, with a free plan

If you don't need a remote recording studio, you shouldn't pay for one. Clipzi starts at $9/month and the free plan gives you 2 videos a month with full editing.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to record inside Clipzi like I do with Riverside?+
No. Clipzi works on video you already have. Upload a Zoom recording, a YouTube file, a webinar or camera footage and it makes clips from that. There's no recording step to go through first.
I record on Riverside. Can I still use Clipzi?+
Yes, and they pair well. Keep recording on Riverside if you like its studio, then export the file and run it through Clipzi for AI moment search and a deeper crop editor. Or use Clipzi alone if you record elsewhere.
Is Clipzi cheaper than Riverside?+
For clipping, usually yes. Riverside's pricing covers a full recording studio. Clipzi is just the clipping part, starting at $9/month with a free plan, so you're not paying for recording tools you won't use.
How long can my source video be?+
Paid plans accept files up to 20GB, which covers long podcasts and interviews. The free plan handles videos up to 3GB so you can test it on a real recording.
