Riverside records the video, then Opus Clip cuts the shorts

So one conversation can become the episode and the short clips.

The problem

An audio-only podcast is hard to turn into shorts and reels.

Riverside records each person on video, not only audio. Download that video and upload it to Opus Clip to cut shorts and reels.
