When [Riverside](https://cotovan.com/riverside) generates a Magic Clip, it trims your recording down to what the AI thinks is the most interesting segment. But sometimes the clip cuts off just before a great point, or starts too late. Here's how to **reveal more content** around the clip and include the parts that were trimmed.

## Extend the Clip with + Add

Open any Magic Clip in the Riverside editor. You'll see **\+ Add** buttons at the top and bottom of the transcript. They don't help because they are just for adding new content into this edit.

The + Add buttons are just for adding NEW content to the clip

## See What Was Trimmed

To see exactly what content was cut from the original recording, click the **filter icon** (or three-dot menu) at the top of the transcript and enable **Show deleted parts**.

Toggle "Show deleted parts" to see what content was trimmed from the original recording

## Restore Deleted Content

With "Show deleted parts" enabled, trimmed content appears as **strikethrough text** above or below your clip. This shows you exactly what was said before and after the clip boundary.

Strikethrough text shows what was trimmed — click on it and pres R to restore it

To restore any of the deleted content, simply click on the strikethrough text to select it, then either click R to restore it or click the restore icon.

## When to Use This

- **Context is missing** — the clip starts mid-thought and needs the setup
- **Great follow-up** — the speaker said something great right after the clip ends
- **Wrong speaker cut** — the AI clipped one speaker but you want to include the other person's response too
- **Longer clip needed** — you need more content for a platform that requires minimum length
