Desktop video editing tools
This cluster comprises desktop and web-based applications for video editing, compositing, effects, and creation, ranging from professional non-linear editors to niche utilities like GIF makers or credits generators. The dated entries span from 2005 to mid-2026 with a few products appearing most years, indicating a steady but modest flow of new tools over two decades. Traction leaders are Concat (1343 stars), ooosplat (742 stars), and filmora-utility-2026 (70 stars).
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.
