How to Distribute Your Film on Filmhub: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you've finished your film and you're ready to get it in front of audiences, Filmhub is one of the most accessible and filmmaker-friendly distribution platforms on the market. Unlike traditional aggregators that charge upfront fees for every platform submission, Filmhub operates on a revenue-share model — they only make money when you do.

Here's how the process works from start to finish.

Step one is creating your account and submitting your title. Head to Filmhub and sign up as a filmmaker. Once inside, you'll create a title listing that includes your film's metadata — title, genre, runtime, synopsis, cast, crew, and release year. This information feeds directly into the channel storefronts, so accuracy matters. A well-written synopsis and accurate genre tags improve your film's discoverability on every platform Filmhub delivers to.

Step two is uploading your deliverables. Filmhub accepts H.264 or ProRes video files, and their platform walks you through the exact specs required. You'll also need closed captions in SRT format, a poster image (at minimum 1400x2100px), and optionally a trailer. If your film has already passed a technical QC review — something ClydeVision handles as part of our distribution packages — this step goes smoothly. If not, expect to make corrections before your title is approved for channel delivery.

Step three is channel selection. This is where Filmhub's model shines. Their marketplace includes 100+ streaming channels spanning AVOD (ad-supported), SVOD (subscription), and TVOD (transactional) models. Channels include Tubi, Plex, Peacock, Xumo, and many more. You can opt into all channels or select specific ones based on your distribution strategy. For most independent films, opting into the full network maximizes reach.

Step four is the review and approval process. Filmhub's team reviews your submission for technical compliance and metadata completeness. This typically takes a few business days. Once approved, your title enters the channel marketplace where streaming platforms can license it directly.

Step five is tracking your earnings. Filmhub provides a transparent dashboard showing which channels have licensed your title, how many streams it has accumulated, and what revenue has been generated. Payments are issued monthly once your balance clears the minimum threshold.

A few things to keep in mind: Filmhub's non-exclusive model means you can use them alongside other distribution strategies. At ClydeVision Films, we often recommend Filmhub as one component of a broader multi-platform approach — pairing it with direct platform deals and our own distribution network to maximize your film's footprint.
