Riverside alternative
A Riverside alternative for podcasts recorded as audio
Riverside is a remote recording studio. It records you and your guests on camera, then helps you edit and clip that footage. Podeo.ai starts where Riverside cannot: an episode with no footage at all. It builds the full video from the audio.
The free trial builds and edits one 5-minute episode. Export starts on Starter.

Podeo.ai vs Riverside
Riverside is the better choice when you record guests on camera and want studio-quality local recordings. Podeo.ai is for the episode that only exists as audio, or for an old back catalogue that was never filmed.

Questions, answered.
What is the main difference between Podeo.ai and Riverside?
Riverside records and edits video of you and your guests. Podeo.ai makes the video when there is no footage: it takes the episode audio and builds scenes, captions and b-roll around what is said.
Can I use Riverside and Podeo.ai together?
Yes. Record the conversation in Riverside, export it as audio only, then upload that file to Podeo.ai to build a designed video instead of a webcam grid.
Does Podeo.ai record guests?
No. Podeo.ai does not record. It starts from an episode you already have, as a file or a podcast link.
Can Podeo.ai turn old audio-only episodes into video?
Yes. Paste your show link, pick an episode from any year, and Podeo.ai builds the video. That makes it practical to bring a whole back catalogue to YouTube.
