What is Filmhub?
Filmhub is automating distribution prep and passing the savings to producers as a cheaper plan.
Filmhub launched a lower-cost plan in October, tied to internal tools that make asset preparation faster and cheaper, and has since rebuilt the payment schedule page around each producer's own channels. Earlier releases added automated artwork QC checks and a rebuilt video player.
What is Horizon EDA?
Horizon EDA ships one feature release a year and spends the rest fixing what it broke.
Horizon EDA runs a slow, deliberate cadence: roughly one named feature release per year — Kepler in 2023, Luna in 2024, Mirage in 2025 — followed by two bugfix releases in the same series. The 2.7 series added pick-and-place export save/load, polygon pad rendering performance, project pool cache updates from the editors, and parameter fixing in the package editor. Its two patch releases were crash fixes and export correctness, mostly around silkscreen and PDF output.
Filmhub vs Horizon EDA: editorial side-by-side
Filmhub
5.0DESIGN
Filmhub is automating distribution prep and passing the savings to producers as a cheaper plan.
◆ Current state
Filmhub launched a lower-cost plan in October, tied to internal tools that make asset preparation faster and cheaper, and has since rebuilt the payment schedule page around each producer's own channels. Earlier releases added automated artwork QC checks and a rebuilt video player.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is automation of the distribution pipeline (artwork checks, captions, asset prep) turning into lower prices and fewer QC rejections. Producer-facing transparency on payments and releases is the other steady thread.
◆ Prediction
Expect more automated QC checks for submissions beyond artwork, since the artwork tool and cheaper plan both rely on that automation.
Horizon EDA
0.0DESIGN
Horizon EDA ships one feature release a year and spends the rest fixing what it broke.
◆ Current state
Horizon EDA runs a slow, deliberate cadence: roughly one named feature release per year — Kepler in 2023, Luna in 2024, Mirage in 2025 — followed by two bugfix releases in the same series. The 2.7 series added pick-and-place export save/load, polygon pad rendering performance, project pool cache updates from the editors, and parameter fixing in the package editor. Its two patch releases were crash fixes and export correctness, mostly around silkscreen and PDF output.
◆ Where it's heading
The feature work tracks a single theme across all three named releases: making the editors forgiving. Undo and redo that never forgets, undo/redo of selection, sticky selection and configurable selection modifiers arrived in 2.5 and 2.6; 2.7 pushed into export workflows and rendering speed. The bugfix pattern is consistent too — most patches land in the board editor, which is where the complexity lives.
◆ Prediction
On the established cadence a 2.8 feature release is due, and the recent bugfix concentration suggests export and silkscreen handling get attention in it.
