      Why Filmhub requires certain information/assets

      In order to distribute your movies and shows across our network of Channel partners, we must collect certain information and assets in order 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 throughout the world. 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.

      Filmhub will not pitch a title for licensing unless it has passed our Quality Control (QC).  We must ensure that when a Channel licenses a title from Filmhub, it meets their technical requirements upon delivery.

      How to review "What's missing?"

      In order to submit your title, all required information and assets must be provided and ready for review. The "What's missing?" button (located in the top right corner) will let you know what information and assets are missing or incomplete.

      As you're providing your Title's assets and information, the "What's missing?" button will update with what's still needed in order for the "Submit" button to become available.
