Riverside adds Smooth cuts to blend jump cuts with AI

Riverside added Smooth cuts to its editor, an AI tool that blends the jump cuts in an edit so the video looks like one continuous take.

In the editor, open AI tools and click Apply next to Smooth cuts to smooth every eligible cut at once. To do just one, click the cut in the transcript and choose Smooth. Each smoothed cut gets an icon in the transcript, and you can undo any of them to get the original cut back.

Not every cut qualifies. Smooth cuts skips a cut when there is large movement between the frames on either side, or when a different object or position appears between them. It doesn't support 4K video or audio-only recordings. Smooth after you finish editing, because changing a smoothed cut removes the smoothing and you have to apply it again.

It uses AI credits, and the editor shows the cost. You are charged only for cuts that are actually smoothed, and credits for any that fail are refunded automatically. Smooth cuts is on the Pro, Grow, Webinar and Business plans, in a computer browser. Riverside's product updates page dates the release to October 11.
