Inconsistent Cropping Across Clips from the Same Video — Causes Manual Fix Workload
under review

Every time I run a long-form video through the AI clipper, it generates different crop positions for each clip — even though they’re all pulled from the same video with the same layout. This is especially frustrating for talking head content or screen recordings where the subject or framing stays mostly consistent.
It makes the clips look jarring when posted together and adds a lot of unnecessary manual work just to realign each crop and maintain consistency. This could be avoided if the crop positioning stayed consistent across clips unless there’s a clear reason to shift (like a scene change or movement).
Feature Request:
Add a toggle or setting for “Consistent Cropping Across Clips”
Or allow users to define a fixed crop that all clips must follow unless overridden manually
Would love to see this fixed or added — it’s a huge pain point for anyone creating multi-clip edits from one video.

This platform is SO close to perfect for my use case. Quickly editing hour long podcasts into clips for social media, the problem however, is that when Opus cuts pauses and fluff out of talking sections of the same speaker, the framing doesn't stay consistent. In my mind this should be a VERY easy fix because all that needs to happen is that framing or a particular scene/speaker gets done before any jump cuts are made. That way there is no need to have to match up the framing of 5 different cuts in one scene. I'm 99% bought in, and if this bug can get fixed, I will subscribe and move away from riverside for my clips editing. PLEASE email me if I can help or provide an example. I genuinely want to use this service, but can't justify it if I have to go in and edit every clip after it's generated

Yes please! I just sent this same bugfix before I found this post.

Yes, I spend more time trying to fix these differences in cropping than anyone should have to. I just created a feature request to be able to "unite" or "join" adjacent clips so they all have the same cropping and layout.
