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 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 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.
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.
