Riverside is the highest-quality source format on the list. The platform records per-participant tracks locally in 4K, then syncs them to the cloud — meaning every guest has a separate, ungoverned-by-internet-quality video file. The repurpose workflow takes advantage of this: pick the best single-speaker track per clip, crop tight, and get cleaner clips than any Zoom, Meet, or StreamYard source can produce.

The other Riverside advantage is the magic-clips feature, which uses AI to extract vertical highlights from the recording. Even if you do not use Riverside's magic clips directly, the per-track 4K source means your manual clipping has more headroom than other workflows.

Why repurpose Riverside.fm to LinkedIn

High-production podcasters and B2B executives using Riverside use this move to land their cleanest possible clips on LinkedIn. The 4K source per-track export means tight crops survive aggressive reframing — the same clip that would look soft from a Zoom source looks broadcast-quality from Riverside.

About the source: Riverside.fm

Riverside per-track 4K local recording (WAV per-track audio at 48kHz, MP4 video) up to 4 hours. SRT export available; magic-clips feature extracts vertical 9:16 highlights automatically.

About the destination: LinkedIn

LinkedIn caps native video at 10 min / 5 GB; sweet spot 30-180 seconds. 1:1 square wins mobile feed. SRT side-car captions. 3,000 char post; first 200 chars is the hook.

The workflow

  1. Export the per-participant 4K tracks from Riverside. In the Riverside dashboard, download per-track 4K MP4s and the SRT. Per-track means each speaker has a separate file — you pick which to feature per clip.
  2. Use magic clips as a starting point, but verify the picks. Riverside magic clips are decent but not perfect. Treat them as candidates; check the transcript for higher-density moments the AI missed.
  3. Pick the single-speaker per-track for each clip and crop tight to face. Per-track 4K means you can crop hard without losing quality. Single-speaker clips work better than multi-speaker on LinkedIn.
  4. Reframe to 1:1 square. 1:1 wins LinkedIn mobile feed.
  5. Upload Riverside SRT side-car directly to LinkedIn. Riverside SRT is accurate; LinkedIn natively renders side-car captions.
  6. Write a B2B-shaped hook in the first 200 characters. Lead with the takeaway. Expand body to 1,500-2,500 chars with full context and DM CTA.
  7. Tag the guest (with consent) and the show account. Guest tags compound reach via their follower graph.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Riverside a better source than Zoom or StreamYard?

Per-participant 4K local recording. Every guest has a separate, internet-quality-independent file at broadcast resolution. Crops survive aggressive reframing.

Should I use Riverside magic clips directly?

As starting candidates only. Verify against the transcript for higher-density moments the AI missed.

Per-track or mixed export?

Always per-track. The cropping headroom and per-speaker quality is dramatically better.

What about the Riverside SRT?

Use it directly; LinkedIn natively renders SRT side-car captions.

How many clips per Riverside episode?

6-12 clips per 60-min episode. Stagger across 2 weeks.

Can Kompozy do this end-to-end?

Yes — Kompozy ingests per-track Riverside exports, validates magic clips against the transcript, applies tight per-speaker 1:1 crops, packages SRT, drafts B2B-shaped LinkedIn copy. Typical run: 4 minutes per episode.
