Short answer

To repurpose a Riverside recording for LinkedIn, download the separate participant tracks, use Magic Clips as a shortlist and check the transcript for better moments, crop tight on a single speaker, reframe to square, attach an SRT caption file from desktop, and open the post with the takeaway. Riverside records up to 4K locally per participant, so tight crops hold up. LinkedIn accepts video up to 15 minutes and 5 GB.

Key takeaways

  • Riverside records each participant locally on a separate track, in up to 4K.
  • Treat Magic Clips as a shortlist, not a final edit.
  • LinkedIn accepts video up to 15 minutes and 5 GB and SRT captions from desktop.
  • Ask the guest before you tag them.

Riverside is one of the cleanest sources for this kind of work. It records each participant locally on their own device, in up to 4K video, and keeps every participant on a separate track, so each guest's file is as good as their camera and mic, whatever the call connection did. The workflow takes advantage of that: pick the best single-speaker track per clip, crop tight, and get cleaner clips than a typical call recording gives you.

Riverside also has Magic Clips, which pulls short highlight clips from the recording automatically. Even if you don't use Magic Clips directly, the per-track source gives your manual clipping more room to crop.

Who moves Riverside to LinkedIn, and why?

Podcasters and B2B executives who record on Riverside use this move to put their cleanest clips on LinkedIn. A high-resolution per-track source holds up to tight crops that would look soft from a standard call recording.

What should you know about the Riverside source?

Riverside records up to 4K video and uncompressed 48 kHz audio locally, with each participant on a separate track. Magic Clips generates short clips from the recording automatically.

What does LinkedIn expect from the clip?

LinkedIn accepts native video up to 15 minutes and 5 GB, in aspect ratios from 1:2.4 to 2.4:1, so square and vertical cuts both fit. You can attach an SRT caption file when you post from desktop. Only the opening lines of a post show before "see more", so the hook goes first.

How do you repurpose Riverside for LinkedIn, step by step?

  1. Export the per-participant 4K tracks from Riverside. In Riverside, download the individual participant tracks rather than a mixed file. Each speaker has their own file, so you choose who to feature in each clip.
  2. Use magic clips as a starting point, but verify the picks. Magic Clips gives you a shortlist, not a final edit. Check the transcript for stronger moments it missed.
  3. Pick the single-speaker per-track for each clip and crop tight to face. A high-resolution per-track file lets you crop hard. Single-speaker clips read better on LinkedIn than a busy multi-speaker frame.
  4. Reframe to 1:1 square. Square is a safe fit for the LinkedIn feed.
  5. Attach an SRT caption file. Make an SRT from your transcript and attach it when you post from desktop. LinkedIn needs an SRT file for closed captions.
  6. Write a B2B-shaped hook at the top. Lead with the takeaway in the first lines, then give the full context and a DM call to action.
  7. Tag the guest (with consent) and the show account. A tag lets the guest's network see the clip. Ask first.

What does this look like in Kompozy?

A persona short, a vertical 9:16 video made in the Kompozy workspace. It shows the short-form format these clips end up in. It was not cut from a Riverside recording.

Who is this for, and who should skip it?

Best for:

  • Podcasters and B2B executives who record interviews on Riverside.
  • Single-speaker answers that stand on their own.

Not ideal for:

  • Recordings exported only as a mixed file.
  • Teams that want Kompozy to use Riverside's Magic Clips picks or output square cuts; it does neither.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Riverside a better source than Zoom or StreamYard?

Riverside records each participant locally, in up to 4K, on a separate track, so a weak connection doesn't degrade the file. Crops hold up better than on a standard call recording.

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?

Per-track. Each speaker gets their own file, which gives you more room to crop and cleaner audio.

What about captions?

Make an SRT from the transcript and attach it on desktop, since LinkedIn needs an SRT file for closed captions. Burned-in captions are a good backup.

How many clips per Riverside episode?

It depends on the episode. Pick every moment that stands on its own and stagger them over a couple of weeks.

Can Kompozy do this end-to-end?

Partly. You can upload a Riverside track to Kompozy, which transcribes it, scores moments, renders vertical 9:16 clips with burned-in captions and schedules them to LinkedIn. It does not read Riverside's Magic Clips, and square cuts need another editor.
