Announced end dates for video models, and which apps still carry them

Two single-line menus, for different reasons

Both entries publish a single model line and arrive there differently. One is a maker promoting its current generation on a page that mentions nothing else. The other is an application naming the same house model across every priced plan. The exposure looks identical and the responsible party is not. From 2 source pages, read 2026-09-12 to 2026-09-22; no maker pays to be listed.

Inclusion rule. Both cells on a row come from the entry's own public pages. Appearances of the same model inside other entries are recorded on those entries. Order. Why the menu is short first, then who else carries the line.

1One of the two lines is sold by five entries

The maker's line appears on several other entries in this register, each with its own tiers and rates. The application's line appears nowhere else at all.

So a retirement of the first would land on five products at once, and a retirement of the second would land on one. Same single-line page, completely different reach.

2Resellers publish more about one line than its maker does

Four entries name the maker's line with versions or per-second rates. The maker's own page promotes a generation and stops. The application's page is the only source for its own line.

That inversion recurs throughout the register: a reseller has to explain what a price buys, and a maker only has to sell a subscription.

3Neither keeps a previous generation on the page

One does not address earlier versions; the other has none listed. In both cases a production that needs to finish a season has nothing published to finish it on.

The maker comparison sets the first of these against a maker that does keep its back catalogue purchasable.
