Riverside Magic Clips

Riverside Magic Clips is a feature within Riverside that turns long form recordings into short clips for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. The official Magic Clips page describes a one click workflow where AI identifies key moments, highlights them, and makes clips automatically, reducing the manual effort of scrubbing timelines for highlights. Unlike many clip tools that gate automation behind paid tiers, the official Magic Clips page states the feature is completely free. It also describes customization steps such as adjusting the clip, adding branding, and preparing short videos with the correct aspect ratio presets for social platforms. Because Magic Clips sits inside Riverside, it pairs naturally with recording and editing. Riverside also notes on its editor pages that the recorder and editor are included across plans, and its blog about the free plan describes access to core editing and Magic Clips with recording hour limits that affect how much source material you can create each month. For evaluation, test the highlight selection quality on different content types, such as interviews, webinars, and talking head videos. Check whether clip boundaries preserve context, whether captions are accurate enough for publishing, and how quickly you can apply consistent branding. If you need a fully automated social pipeline, validate exports and team collaboration features in Riverside, but treat Magic Clips itself as a free entry point for converting recordings into repurposed short content.
