What is Filmhub?
Filmhub is automating the QC gate that stands between indie titles and channels.
Filmhub distributes independent films and shows to streaming channels, and its recent releases target the friction before distribution: captions, artwork checks, asset fixes and clearer payment schedules. October brought renamed plans and a cheaper option funded by internal tooling. Releases come every few weeks and focus on producer workflow.
What is Linearity?
Linearity bets on generation that hands back editable layers, not a flat image.
Curve ships roughly every six to eight weeks on iOS and macOS, and until now the releases were craft work: a glass effect with refraction and dispersion, corner smoothing and path bending, Super Resolution and snapping, a noise effect with SVG and performance gains. Version 6.12 changes the subject by adding Quiver AI generation, framed around keeping every layer owned and editable after the model has run. The companion app Move contributes on its own track, with Lottie export for web and mobile motion graphics.
Filmhub vs Linearity: editorial side-by-side
Filmhub
5.0DESIGN
Filmhub is automating the QC gate that stands between indie titles and channels.
◆ Current state
Filmhub distributes independent films and shows to streaming channels, and its recent releases target the friction before distribution: captions, artwork checks, asset fixes and clearer payment schedules. October brought renamed plans and a cheaper option funded by internal tooling. Releases come every few weeks and focus on producer workflow.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release attacks a reason titles fail QC or stall: artwork analysis in August, asset adjustment services and a lower-cost plan in October, broader caption formats in November. Filmhub says this tooling lowers its operating costs, and it is passing part of that on as pricing. The direction is a more self-serve, faster path from upload to channel.
◆ Prediction
Expect more automated pre-submission checks for other asset types, following the artwork and caption pattern. How far Filmhub will cut prices further is unclear from the entries.
Linearity
3.8DESIGN
Linearity bets on generation that hands back editable layers, not a flat image.
◆ Current state
Curve ships roughly every six to eight weeks on iOS and macOS, and until now the releases were craft work: a glass effect with refraction and dispersion, corner smoothing and path bending, Super Resolution and snapping, a noise effect with SVG and performance gains. Version 6.12 changes the subject by adding Quiver AI generation, framed around keeping every layer owned and editable after the model has run. The companion app Move contributes on its own track, with Lottie export for web and mobile motion graphics.
◆ Where it's heading
The pitch — generation starts it, the designer owns the layers — is a deliberate contrast with image models that return a finished raster. For a vector tool on Apple platforms, that is the only version of AI that fits the product: output has to arrive as paths a designer can keep working. The release cadence and the Move track suggest the wider ambition is a design-to-motion pipeline on iPad and Mac, with Lottie as the handoff format.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to extend generation deeper into the vector editing surface rather than adding separate AI panels, since editable output is the entire argument. How Quiver AI is priced or metered is not visible in these entries.
