Why Filmhub requires certain deliverables

To distribute your movies and shows across our network of Channel partners, we must collect certain information and assets to meet the various requirements of each Channel. While not all fields are required as you're preparing to submit your title, we strongly suggest providing as much information and detail as possible, as this will help market and expand the licensing potential.

As technology develops, so do the technical standards of Channels worldwide. A video file that may have been accepted to a Channel in the past may no longer meet the same Channel's current standards. That's why we ask you to provide the highest quality assets you have.

Please review our Asset Requirements for Video & Audio, Artwork, and Captions to ensure your title meets the technical standards of the Channels we work with.

How QC works at Filmhub

Filmhub has two tiers of quality control: Standard QC and Premium QC

All titles receive our Standard QC. This streamlined quality control process ensures that a title’s video, audio, and captions meet the basic needs of most of our channel partners. We also ensure that the title matches our content policy.

We also offer Premium QC, which is a Professional Service available through paid plans and one-time payments. Premium QC ensures that a title meets the standards of our most stringent partners and their quality control requirements.

A title can be submitted for QC up to three times. If it fails the Standard QC process, it will no longer be eligible for submission to Filmhub. If it fails the Premium QC process but passes the Standard QC process, the title will enter our catalog without the Premium badge.

If you would like to resubmit a title for Premium QC, you can do so by paying for the professional service.

Standards for Quality Control

Standard QC aligns with the expectations set in our Standard Delivery Package. Filmhub reviews every title for the following:

  • Accepted video format and quality with no read error
  • Accepted audio format, quality, and sync with no read error
  • Captions in the required format that synchronize with audio
  • Complete and accurate Metadata
  • No padding or interlacing in film
  • Three images in the required format for films and four images in the required format for shows
  • Acceptable Chain of Title proof

Premium QC reviews a title against our partners’ highest QC standards. Filmhub offers this as a Professional Service, either included in your paid plan or selected as a paid service for your title. This service involves a Filmhub QC technician reviewing the Standard QC requirements and additionally providing:

  • A detailed review of technical video requirements to flag such as duplicate frames, blended frames, and cropped images or text
  • A detailed review of images to flag any legibility, consistency, and resolution issues
  • A detailed review of captions and subtitles to flag any discrepancies with grammar, spelling, and timing
