The problem
What gets in the way.
- Solo podcasters need video content but can't afford cloud recording platforms
- Adding captions for accessibility and reach is tedious and expensive
- Raw recordings look unprofessional without cinematic effects
- Cloud platforms charge $24+/month for features solo creators need

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can One Rec replace Riverside for solo podcasting?
For solo recording, yes. One Rec includes AI captions, cinematic zoom, and a timeline editor, all free. Riverside's advantage is multi-person remote recording, which One Rec doesn't support.
Does One Rec support audio-only podcast recording?
No. One Rec records screen and camera video and exports MP4, ProRes, or GIF; there's no audio-only export. For audio-only podcasts, a dedicated audio tool is a better fit.
