You can have a video version for YouTube, an audio-only version for podcast platforms, a shorter segment for social media — all from one set of source files, without re-uploading anything. ## Start from the Recordings Tab Open your project in [Riverside](https://cotovan.com/riverside) and go to the **Recordings** tab. You will see the source tracks for each speaker, along with the transcript. From here, click **Edit** to open a new edit of the recording. ![Riverside Recordings tab showing two speaker tracks (Chris and Michael) with Edit and Share buttons](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/04/riverside-recordings-tab-tracks.jpg) The Recordings tab shows your source tracks. Click Edit to start a new edit from these files. ## Apply AI Tools and Name Your Edit Once in the editor, use the **AI tools** panel to clean up the recording: remove pauses, filler words, find fluff, apply Magic Audio, Smart Mute, and Smart Layouts. These tools run in the background, so you do not need to wait for them to finish. ![Riverside editor with AI tools panel open showing Remove pauses, Remove filler words, Find fluff, Magic Audio, Smart Mute, and Smart Layouts options](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/04/riverside-ai-tools-applied-edit.jpg) Apply AI tools to your first edit — they process in the background while you continue working. Rename this edit by clicking the title at the top of the editor. For example, call it **"Video Version"** to keep things organized. When you exit the editor, this edit appears in the **Edits** tab. ![Riverside Edits tab showing the Video Version edit with Edit and Share buttons](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/04/riverside-edits-tab-video-version-1.jpg) Your named edit shows up in the Edits tab, ready to be exported or duplicated. ## Create a Second Edit There are two ways to create another version: - **Start from scratch:** Go back to the **Recordings** tab and click **Edit** again. This creates a brand-new edit with no cuts applied — a blank slate from the original files. - **Duplicate an existing edit:** In the **Edits** tab, click the three-dot menu on any edit and select **Duplicate**. This copies all the cuts and settings from the original, so you can make incremental changes without starting over. For an audio-only version, starting from scratch can be useful because you might want more aggressive cuts — audio listeners do not see jump cuts, so you can remove more without worrying about visual glitches. ![Riverside editor showing a new blank edit with no cuts applied, ready for audio-only editing](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/04/riverside-audio-version-blank-edit.jpg) A fresh edit from the same recording — no cuts applied, ready for a different editing approach. ## Switch Between Edits While inside the editor, click the dropdown arrow at the top to open the edit switcher. This shows all your edits as thumbnails and lets you jump between them without leaving the editor. You can also see your Magic Clips and other generated content here. ![Riverside editor showing the edit switcher drawer at the top with Video Version and Audio Version edits visible as thumbnails](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/04/riverside-edit-switcher-drawer.jpg) The edit switcher lets you jump between different versions of your recording without leaving the editor. ## Export Each Version Differently When an edit is ready, go to the **Edits** tab and click the three-dot menu, then **Export**. For the audio version, switch the export type to **Audio**, choose WAV or MP3, and optionally enable **Normalize audio levels** or **Remove background noise**. Click **Export audio only**. ![Riverside Export options dialog showing Audio tab selected with WAV HD quality, normalize audio levels, and remove background noise toggles](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/04/riverside-export-audio-only-options.jpg) Export the audio version as WAV or MP3 with optional audio processing. Each export gets the same name as the edit, which keeps everything organized. The **Exports** tab shows all your exports with download links, and you also receive an email when each export finishes. ![Riverside Exports tab showing Audio Version export in progress](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/04/riverside-exports-tab-exporting.jpg) The Exports tab tracks all your exports — you also get an email notification when they finish. ## Keep Multiple Edits Organized Both edits remain in the **Edits** tab side by side. You can rename, duplicate, or export any of them at any time. The original recordings stay untouched — each edit is non-destructive. ![Riverside Edits tab showing both Audio Version and Video Version edits side by side](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/04/riverside-edits-tab-both-versions.jpg) All your edit versions are organized in the Edits tab. Rename them to stay on top of your workflow. ### Use "Keep Only This" for Segments If you want to isolate a specific segment — say a highlight reel or a standalone topic — duplicate an edit, select the portion you want, click the three-dot menu, and choose **Keep only this**. Everything outside your selection gets removed, leaving just that segment ready for export. ## Publish Directly to Your Podcast If you [host your podcast](https://cotovan.com/post/migrate-host-podcast-on-riverside-guide/) with Riverside, you can turn any export into a podcast episode without downloading it first. Go to the **Share** button on an export, and under **Hosting**, click **New Episode**. Riverside creates the episode automatically from your exported file. ![Riverside Share dialog showing Hosting section with New Episode option and social media sharing buttons](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/04/riverside-hosting-new-episode.jpg) Turn any export into a podcast episode directly from Riverside — no download needed. ## Tips ## Related Riverside Guides [How to Turn an Audio Podcast into a Video in Riverside![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/icon/Cristi-2-31.jpeg)Cristi CotovanCristi Cotovan![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/04/riverside-audio-to-video-thumbnail.jpg)](https://cotovan.com/post/how-to-turn-an-audio-podcast-into-a-video-in-riverside/) [Spotify episodes audio-only when hosting podcast with Riverside?I host my show on Riverside and recently ran into an issue: even when I publish a video episode from Riverside, Spotify displays it as audio-only.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/icon/Cristi-2-31.jpeg)Cristi CotovanCristi Cotovan![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2025/12/c9ee7bbf-af11-40b6-b4c2-e212264b8a5c.jpg)](https://cotovan.com/post/add-video-spotify-podcasts-riverside-workaround/) [Dynamic Zoom Edits in Riverside for Polished Podcasts![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/icon/Cristi-2-31.jpeg)Cristi CotovanCristi Cotovan![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/03/riverside-zoom-edits-thumbnail.jpg)](https://cotovan.com/post/dynamic-zoom-edits-riverside-polished-podcasts/) [How to Add Guest Names and Titles in the Riverside Editor After Recording![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/icon/Cristi-2-31.jpeg)Cristi CotovanCristi Cotovan![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/03/riverside-add-guest-names-titles.jpg)](https://cotovan.com/post/how-to-add-guest-names-and-titles-in-the-riverside-editor-after-recording/) [How to Fix Choppy Audio and Video Cuts in Riverside![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/icon/Cristi-2-31.jpeg)Cristi CotovanCristi Cotovan![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/02/Choppy-Audio.jpg)](https://cotovan.com/post/how-to-fix-choppy-audio-and-video-cuts-in-riverside/) If you're eager to learn more about Riverside and wish to have a one-on-one Riverside coaching session, feel free to book a call with me.
