The issue with traditional editing
The content creation process is often bogged down by tedious workflows. Recording, editing, and fine-tuning high-quality content can take hours – if not days – of effort, particularly when using multiple tools. Additionally, achieving polished results typically requires advanced skills, powerful hardware, or outsourcing to expensive editors.
Tyler Stalman, a professional fashion and lifestyle photographer, cinematographer, and podcast host, knows this struggle firsthand. With nearly 500k subscribers on YouTube, he’s no stranger to creating exceptional content. But even for him, refining audio, cutting video, and ensuring professional quality meant countless hours of work.
Tyler needed a solution to streamline his process without compromising quality. That’s where Riverside came in.
