CLUSTER EDITOR-VIDEO-HUMAN · 36 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-12
Local AI video editing tools
This cluster comprises desktop and local applications that use AI agents to automate editing, generate content, and collaborate with human editors on timelines. The dated history before the index start is too thin—only 4 dated entries—to discern a shape. Traction leaders include cupcat-video-editor with 10 stars, lumeri with 4, and OpenMagia with 2, with cupcat having the highest star count among them.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
