In Riverside, export the composed video (with both speakers visible in the final output), then upload that MP4 file directly to OpenClip. The AI takes it from there. ### Does OpenClip work with Riverside's separate track exports? OpenClip works best with a composed, single-file MP4. Use Riverside's composed export option rather than the separate audio/video tracks for the best results. ### Can OpenClip handle a long Riverside podcast recording? Yes — OpenClip is designed for long-form content. A 90-minute Riverside session will typically yield 5-15 strong clip candidates automatically. ### My Riverside interviews feature two speakers. Will speaker tracking work correctly? OpenClip's AI face detection supports multiple speakers and will dynamically reframe to whoever is speaking at any given moment in the clip. ### What caption styles work best for YouTube Shorts from Riverside interviews? Styles like Beast, Pop, and Dan are particularly popular for interview-style short-form content — each highlights active words differently to maximize viewer retention. ### Does OpenClip publish clips directly to YouTube? OpenClip exports finished clips in YouTube Shorts-optimized formats, but direct publishing to YouTube is not supported. You upload the clips manually. ### How is OpenClip different from Riverside's own clip tool? Riverside's built-in clip tool is basic. OpenClip adds AI-powered viral moment detection, AI speaker tracking, 10 caption presets, and batch processing across multiple recordings. ## Unlock the Clips Hidden in Your Riverside Recordings Start with OpenClip today and transform your best Riverside interviews into short-form content that grows your audience.
