Where Clipzi wins

Clip video recorded anywhere

Riverside's clips come from sessions recorded inside Riverside. Clipzi takes any file you upload: a Zoom call, an old YouTube video, a webinar, camera footage. You don't have to change where you record to get clips out of it.

A deeper clip editor

Because clipping is the whole product, the tools go further. Moment search jumps to the part you describe, the keyframe editor controls the 9:16 or 1:1 framing frame by frame, and karaoke captions land automatically with translation if you need it.

Priced for clipping, not for a studio

Riverside's pricing covers a full remote recording studio, which is worth it if you record interviews with remote guests. If you just need clips, Clipzi starts at $9/month with no watermark and a free plan with 2 videos a month.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have 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 finds the moments and cuts the clips. There's no recording step first.
I record my podcast on Riverside. Should I still consider Clipzi?+
They actually pair well. Keep recording on Riverside if you like its studio, then export the file and run it through Clipzi for moment search and finer crop control. And if you record somewhere else entirely, Clipzi works on its own.
Is Clipzi cheaper than Riverside?+
For clipping, usually yes. Riverside's price covers a full recording studio, so you're paying for recording whether you use it or not. Clipzi is just the clipping part, from $9/month with a free plan of 2 videos a month.
Who should pick Riverside?+
Podcasters who record remote interviews and want the recording studio and the clips in one place. If capturing the conversation is your main problem, Riverside solves it and clips are a bonus. If you already have the footage, Clipzi is the more direct tool.
