Thank you, Great video!
Thank you. Well done...
Getting into this game. Great content, thank you for this.
Bravo! Keep on Keeping on.
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! Thank you very much Alex. I definitely subscribed to this channel! ✊🏿

Incredibly helpful content, Alex. In a nutshell. 🤔 Massive thanks! 🙏☕️🎩🎩🎩
Thanks a lot John! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you 😊
Thank you for this amazing video!!
Happy to help!
@@alexsrednoselac if you could please, extend to another video the "video rights" section. How to acquire them / sell them / lend them / rent them, would be awesome, and I'll be happy to be tagged to watch it. I've review this current video a lot just this week (at least 5 times). Thanks!
Thx🎉
thank you bro. I'm hoping to create my first film soon. I have tons of content online but looking for the next platform.
Good luck with it! Hoping to make more content about filmmaking soon so hopefully it will help
This was an awesome video. It would be great to see more distribution or possibly marketing for you film content. Congrats on your films.
Thanks a lot! I’m getting a few more platforms here and there, including Vudu. They definitely do their best to get your films out there.
Thank you!
Hey man, this was super helpful! I have a 30 minute short on Filmhub, but have never uploaded a feature there. The chapter tip was especially helpful! Definitely will revisit this when I'm ready to get my next feature seen.
Glad to hear it!
Follow-up question: with the chapter breaks, what's the difference between "Time" and "Thumbnail Time"?@@alexsrednoselac
Thank you for your transparency. Very informative! I can count on one hand how many videos I've comment on after watching hundreds over just the last year. Time to get back to editing my first film, Semblance Amiss. Be awesome and Thanks again!
Thanks a lot! Good luck with your film.
Probably the stupidest name I’ve ever heard for a movie.
Hi again Alex, please can you do a video on cue sheets? I am struggling with making one since this is my first short film. Thank you.
Would love to work with you on a film you seem very down to earth thank you so much for this video
Thanks a lot! Happy to help where I can, but I'll warn you work keeps me pretty busy. Hence my lack of uploading lol
Yes, i would love to see an example of how you prepared your music cue sheet.
Video coming soon. It'll be titled along the lines of 15 Things You Need To Know About Filmhub.
do you have a video on how do you prepare an Music Cue Sheet? *I SUBSCRIBED!
Appreciate it! Watch my 15 things you didn’t know about filmhub video. There’s a chapter marker.
Great info, thank you. Did you end up doing a video on music cues? And do you have one on chapter breaks?
I don't have one, but once I get back in the groove I'll be happy to make one.
thank you❤
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks. Hopefully u see my documentary on all platforms very soon. God got us
Good luck!
Great video
Thanks a lot!
Hello, Mr, Where are you from and where are you live right now? I need you for my new movie so much. ❤
Would love to look at your cue sheet. I'm preparing to put my film on Filmhub and would love to see a real life example!
Should be a link in the description. Also check out my 15 things you didn’t know about filmhub. I did a walkthrough on how I did mine.
Thank you! I just watched that video. VERY helpful
Great Video! Most helpful. Filmhub resolution upload. I have an older doc that is 1080. Hub's FAQs section says if undecided as to go with 1080 or 4K, Go 4K! Although, the asset requirement page indicates not to upscale or downscale the original resolution. Upscale with AI? Upscale with PPro? Or leave it be and as is. Thoughts?
Personally I would keep it as 1080. That 4K comment likely refers to stuff shot in 4K and you are considering downscaling to 1080p. I personally submitted my film in 1080.
Buen video
Thank you!
Hey Alex, it was sooper cool in details explained. I have a question, Can i upload mutiple dub versions of a film on filmhub?
Thanks a lot! And I found this via Filmhub: One title per Audio Language. If you wish to upload multiple versions of a title in separate audio languages (dubbed) then submit as multiple titles. If just subtitled/captioned multiple languages submit as one single title.
Nice informative video Alex. I am in the midst of producing my documentary some of my material I will have to rely on for fair use as it is short news items that relate to my investigations, ie from web and radio news. Is there going to be major issues with Filmhub as this is what is done alot for documentaries?
Thanks a lot! I can’t tell you 100% as it’s not something I’m super familiar with. I would recommend continuing educating yourself not only on fair use, but how to go about something that’s not considered fair use. I’m sure there’s tons of content of documentary filmmakers who touch on the subject. As crazy as this sounds, I was doing a lot of my research for my film back in 2018/2019 where there still wasn’t a crazy amount of info. However, I referred a ton to these lawyers I’m linking below. They wrote a book on various legalities when it comes to filmmaking. This video in particular is about the use of logos in film. I counted like 500 something logos that appear in my film, and all of them were considered fair use. Obviously, I don’t recommend relying on a book or CZcams video for legal questions 100%, but it’s a good starting point. I would also recommend maybe finding a lawyer who can tell you if your clips would be considered fair use. I knew someone that worked at a big firm, pitched what I was doing, and they gave me a deep discount to check all my legal stuff. I spent around 2500. It’s just one option. Wanted to mention as a case of “you never know unless you ask.”

Nice work Alex! Great info and teaching here. When can we expect your next film?
Thanks a lot! CZcams is going to be my priority for the time being, so no films for awhile.
@@alexsrednoselac Why is youtube going to be your priority?
@@PakeSalmon I enjoy it and it’s currently my day job. I’ll make more films at some point but CZcams is something I want to try.
@@alexsrednoselac Thanks! Subscribed. I am trying to grow mine too but more like a adventure, culture, travel channel.
@@PakeSalmon thanks a lot! I’m going to be a lot more CZcams strategy videos in the future, so you’ll definitely want to check those out.
Wow! I am happy to have come across ur video! It is very helpful! I was asking myself: How can I sell my movie(s) to thoes platforms... I am writing from Germany. Do u maybe know if this filmhub service is also useable in Germany?
I do not, but let me know if you can!
how can I upload to amazon prime uk from the USA do I need to have a bank account?
what is the minimal running time? Can we do shorts?
They do. They say it needs to be a minimum of 2 minutes.

hi Alex-leave public domain unchecked as you didn't cover that?also,i've been in no film festivals even though my movie's good&original.i only have one name actor in it and all my music is royalty free.thanks for yr advice but this seems real complicated and they may refuse me from no film festivals-subbed!
You can leave that unchecked. It's asking if your film is part of the public domain. I would still recommend a music cue sheet with your roalyty free music, but not the end of the world if you don't. Good luck!
thanks a bunch!@@alexsrednoselac
Hey Alex, when you say Chapter breaks. How many would you suggest?
It’s just going to depend on the length. You can’t have one in the first or last 5 minutes and then you are allowed to have one every 8-12 minutes. You want to find natural breaking points so you not be disruptive. A 90 minute feature for example could have 10-15.
Great vid! What about closed captions? Did u do those or will they do it for a fee?
There are many third party services such as Rev that I would recommend using. I don’t recommend doing them on your own. Too many issues.
@alexsrednoselac thanks Alex. I just watched one of your other vids where you talk about it. Appreciate the info. I subbed . I currently have films on tubi, but i was curious about other aggregators. Keep up the great content.
Hi Alex - this is very helpful! I wanted to ask if music cue sheet is necessary if I only used sound effects/music from Final Cut Pro? Also, in terms of image release forms, what if I used an image from an online source that has no copyrights and the license is free. How would I go about getting a release form for that?
Hey Shaun. Thanks a lot! I only used the music cue sheet for music I actually licensed. They don’t actually require any documents. I personally did it just so I had a better chance. Most of my music came through Artlist, so I actually uploaded that license as well. For the stuff that isn’t copyright, I just left it alone. Hope that helps!
@@alexsrednoselac Thanks so much!!
Thanks for the tips here! Just getting started on Filmhub. Is adding a closed captioning file necessary?
thanks! I don't think it's required, but you're going to have a really hard time getting on any worth while platforms without it. Highly recommend getting that done.
@@alexsrednoselac Good to know, thank you!
Thank you so very much for this insightful and thoroughly helpful information! I run a video production company (my channel name) and we're about to submit our 1st feature film through Film Hub; this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I just happily subscribed and it seems you have a ton of other helpful videos, which I'm thrilled to watch. I'm confident your channel will continue to grow and help people like me all along the way. Keep churning out the excellent content and thank you again!
Wow thanks a lot! That's really kind of you to say and I'm really glad it was helpful for you. Good luck with your film and I hope you have a lot of success with it!
@@alexsrednoselac Thank you very much for your well wishes and insights, which greatly aides my process! I look forward to your forthcoming work as well!
Thank you so much for your content but please i can't get the site, help me out
I don't understand the question. Please explain.
hi Alex-not sure I can get a music cue sheet as it was all Kevin Macleod's royalty free music,all actors signed a model release form..would it be more beneficial for me to put my movie on IMBD before completing my film hub submission?-thanks!-subbed!
Hello. You can still make a music cue sheet. However, I will remind you that these items are not necessary. They just help. Check out my video here where I talk about music cue sheets: czcams.com/video/fT1utaK1tB4/video.htmlsi=DhXpNtAwS2P_zx1H
80/20 is a very good spilt actually
It’s probably more costly in the long run, but I agree for having no upfront costs
Hi again, what's your music cue sheet look like ? thank you

Hello from Pocatello
Hello!
For film hub captions would I use the ai captions or the regular captions in order to receive correct srt file for subtitles?
You run a higher risk of it failing, but you can try. Just make sure you thoroughly check them and correct anything that doesn't look right.
Could you please let me know how much you get pay per view in Prime Video Direct or how it works? Thank you
They set a rental or purchase price and you get 50% of that. So if you charge 10 dollars for someone to buy it you get $5. If you charge 2 dollars for a rental you get 1 dollar.
Hi! Thank you for the info. Does filmhub own your film?
It’s non-exclusive
@@alexsrednoselac thank you. So to be clear, they don’t take any sort of ownership of the film? We are worried about losing it.
Correct. You still own the rights to your film. @@CamelotKGP
Hi! Thanks so much for the detailed information! Question: If I decide that I no longer want the film on Filmhub or any of the platforms that the film has been accepted on, am I able to remove it? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! I'm not 100% sure, but I would assume so. I couldn't find info on this. they request you email them for any changes. I would assume this includes removing titles.
@@alexsrednoselac Thank you for taking the time!
Yes, more info on this music cue sheet please. Also, I have done a handful of short films as a (mostly) one man band-meaning, I do pretty much everything except act. So everybody on screen requires a release?
Does it matter is the films are already on Vimeo or CZcams or whatever?
Lastly- an old friend of mine did the score for my last short. And for the end creds, I got permission to use a song from any band on this guy’s underground label (it’s mostly hardcore punk/grindcore bands). This was via Facebook. How the hell does that translate to the legal paperwork required by FilmHub?
Nothing is required, but it's helpful to have. It does not matter if it's on CZcams or Vimeo so long as it's your channels.
Hey Alex - saw your video again and so thankful you have made this. I have another question I was wondering if you might be able to help answer. My title has a "delivered" status next to it and it's delivered to Amazon...I was wondering based on your experience, does this mean Amazon has accepted it and it will go live on the platform or are they just reviewing it? Also, based on your experience how many weeks or months did it take for you to see other channels picking your project up? Very new to self distribution so any advice would be greatly helpful. Thanks so much!
Thanks Shaun! Once it's been Delivered you should be all good. It might still take a couple weeks to get going. Delivered is the final stage before it goes live. You're basically just waiting for it to show up on the platform. In my experience, it can still take 1-3 weeks. I've been on delivered for Apple TV for about a week now and it's still not shown up there. However, once I was delivered on Vudu (also recent) it showed up pretty quick. It seems like the smaller platforms usuall y go quicker than the larger ones. If I recall, it took 3 weeks to get up on Tubi. I know because I sat there and checked it everyday until it went live lol. I'm not 100% sure of the entire procedure, but once you get to selected you should be good. I had Hoopla show up as "Declined" for me, but I don't ever recall seeing any other status. There was a period where I wasn't checking it frequently, so I could be wrong. But I haven't had a platform decline me once I was on the Delivered status.
@@alexsrednoselac Thanks so much for your reply. Fingers crossed my project will go live soon on Amazon. Also, from your experience, how long did it take for other channels to start picking up your project? I guess this all depends on the channel, but FilmHub usually consistently markets projects correct?
Before the chapter breaks it was every once in awhile. Even if it was frequent it wasn’t anything worth while. After I added chapter breaks, it’s been every few months. I noticed it comes in waves too. Once I got on Tubi it was pretty slow. But recently in the last two months I got Vudu, Apple TV, TCL, and Cinedigm. So there’s period where I won’t see much and then four or five will come at once.
@@alexsrednoselac Awesome, thanks so much!
Thanks this was very helpful. Re chapter breaks, when you say "maybe don't put chapter breaks in your actual movie, but put them on filmhub", what exactly do you mean ? How do you do this ? Also, do different platforms have different demands (for instance, one might ask for a break every 8-10 mins, but another asks for a break only every 15 mins) ? Or will putting a break every 8-10 mins work for everyone ? Thanks :)
It’s entirely possible, but Filmhub just has a general recommendation. I think the only major platform they don’t serve is Netflix. I’m currently on Tubi and Vudu’s AVOD and I didn’t have to make accommodations to the platform.
@@alexsrednoselac thanks ✌️
Hey you mentioned you could upload the music queue sheet with other documents. Can you send some of those to me? I’m about to upload my video and want to make sure it’s all good. I don’t have an EPK either
If I ever find the time I would be happy to do that, but if you notice my lack of posting you can see i haven’t had a ton of time to work on my personal projects. Likely would be faster for you to do some Google searching.
They might have some info on their site too.
thank you so much but i have a question my film is in production and a lot of music is from the companies triune digital and pond 5 royalty free music, will i still need to do a music sheet providing proof that i purchased their music. one of the company's just provide their lic contract with my order number, and again thank you, for your video
You don't have to do anything, but you have a better chance of getting on more worthwhile platforms if you do as much as you can. I also used music from Triune and from services like Pond5 and made a cue sheet. I just found a template online and fit it to what I had.
@@alexsrednoselac that what I was thinking thank you I did find a template online thank you so much for you responding
Hey Alex - just watched your video again and you mentioned that Amazon was one of your channels, but it's no longer there. Does this mean that they removed your title and if so, did you see a "removed" status next to your title? Just got selected for Tubi and hopefully it'll be delivered soon. Thanks again for all your help!
Hey Shaun. Admittedly it was so long ago that I don’t remember. Filmhub also isn’t great with reporting stuff like that, so all I recall is that it disappeared. When I did notice that (I just had UK with FH) I started doing prime UK myself.
@@alexsrednoselac Thanks Alex!
Hi! I submitted to amazon prime but they are saying I have to have the film rated by NCS? Did you have this issue?
What does it mean that the video is overcompressed and how do I fix it?
It means your file is too low quality. You need to do a high quality render.
How do you do the text tracks? It keeps rejecting those for me
Do you mean captions?
How do you make chapter breaks please. I use FCP to edit but know not how to make chapter breaks.
You just need to watch your movie and write down the least disruptive place where a commercial can be placed. help.filmhub.com/articles/5004612-chapters
Thanks for sharing that with me. I think I got it but I will see what I try to do this. I still have a number of film festivals to select my movie, when do you start to apply to Filmhub Please?@@alexsrednoselac
i have a question,i dont have a production company,im freelance/independent filmmaker,what i could do in 4:26 ?
I would make something up or use your name. You could also create a DBA as a cheap option.
Thanks so much for sharing this info. I have question regarding production company. If the film is self produced without a company, should I just put the main producer's name? Would not having a production company adversely affect being accepted by Filmhub? Thanks so much!
I have my own company so I used that. Even if you make one up. Does it require you to have one? You can likely leave it blank. When Filmhub lists themselves as the studio on the platforms, so I don’t think it would make a difference. If they don’t require you to fill it out I think you’re safe. Otherwise I’m sure the name is fine.
@@alexsrednoselac Thanks so much Alex!
Thanks for watching! Good luck! Let me know if you run into any other troubles.
Is there a difference between film hub and indie rights? Not sure if this question has been asked.
Great question. Indie Rights is a traditional distributor, but they act like Filmhub in a sense. They do an 80/20 split. They will get on you select platforms. Biggest difference is they require an exclusive contract. I believe it’s a three year term.
One more quick question if I may: do posters have to be layered/Photoshop ? Thanks again.
I believe all my artwork are Jpegs or pngs so I don’t think so.
@@alexsrednoselac Thanks, much appreciated !

15 Things You Didn't Know About Selling Your Film on Filmhub
czcams.com/video/fT1utaK1tB4/video.html
Did you ever have your movie at a theatre before all of this? Nextly I used a few stills from the internet under free images to use. Do I need to get permission for that? I used a still from from Star Trek, The Voyage home and wrote to them about using it. They wrote back and said live long and prosper but never mentioned the still that lasts three seconds. I wrote them about that and they never replied. What do you think I should do?
I did. Filmhub is non exclusive so there are not limitations on where you can show your film. As far as the images, it's hard to say. You run a risk not having a written clearance or license. There could be some fair use argument depending on how you use it. You'd really need to ask an expert or lawyer.
once you submit you film how do you re-edit the title?
You have to contact them and they will likely charge you for it.
How long did it take you to get on Tubi after passing QC?
I don’t remember exactly but I think it took a few weeks. I recall it being rather long.
After your film gets picked up by a channel, how long until your film will be live?
Usually a few weeks.
Hi, can I upload animation?
Yes
Working tehquines a Star
interesting video.
What are Tubi approved cameras?
I don't think there is such. I shot my film on a Blackmagic Cinema 2.5K, which was their very first model. It's not like Netflix.
@@alexsrednoselac Thank you. Great video.
Thanks!@@LatinRemix
What about release dates? Can you schedule a release date with them?
You cannot. You’re stuck whenever the platform sets it to live. I would released your film first or submit around the time you want it released.
Im a independent film maker
From india.
Can i login here and upload my few films but i dont have any US tax id and foreign tax id.?
Can i earn money here throgh my indian bank account.?
when it say "Action needs work" how do we know what to correct because it doesnt say it
Can you elaborate? Where are you seeing that?
@@alexsrednoselac I submitted for a series. I uploaded three episodes. Then it gave me the submit button, once I submitted, after a couple days it came back and said "actions needed" but it's not telling me what needs to be done for it to be approved
@@SelahShalom have you gone into the metadata section and looked to see if there’s something being highlighted there?
Once I upload a film to Filmhub, am I forbidden from still self-distributing on something like Vimeo?
Nope. It's all non exclusive, so you can upload anywhere they don't offer. You can't upload to Amazon yourself anymore without paying, so keep that in mind. But Vimeo, CZcams, etc. are all fair game.
It includes shortfilms????
Yup!
how do I see my film is published and how do I share it?
If you just did, it’ll probably take a couple days before it appears. As far as when it goes into a platform. You’ll have to keep checking on the platform. They don’t tell you when it shows up.
@@alexsrednoselac And how do i get to know that I complied correctly?
@@Dr.Kamali you just have to keep checking. If there’s issues they will let you know, but once it’s live you just have to figure it out.
Is this exclusive to American citizens?
I believe it's worldwide
@@alexsrednoselac thank you
Soooo, in 2 months, Hulu is no longer an option? 😩
Source?
@@alexsrednoselac whoops 😅😅. It’s in the SVOD section, and I didn’t see it.
Thank you, Alex! This is brilliant!
I'm considering Filmhub, since as I am also a musician I am familiar with similar online distributors for music (cdbaby, distrokid etc), and the concept is pretty much the same.
I've just read through the whole contract and I'm admittedly troubled by article 3, which I suppose means that they may start charging for some service of theirs that we are already using, or can change their charges at any time -- have you had any such experience? ("Paid Services. Certain aspects of the Services (including any Channels owned by Filmhub or one of its affiliates) may be provided for fees and other charges, which may be on an a la carte, subscription, or other basis. Filmhub may add new Services or features of the Services for additional fees and charges or add or change fees and charges for existing Services, at any time in its sole discretion.").
I'm also a bit concerned about the Bankruptcy article, because, if I understand correctly, it states that in case of Filmhub going bankrupt, they can actually keep the license and also make derivative products from our material. I'm not a lawyer, but this is what I understood from this:
"In the event of your bankruptcy, you and Filmhub acknowledge and agree that the licensed rights to Your Content hereunder are fundamentally in the nature of “intellectual property” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy,” as now or hereafter in effect, or any successor statute (“Bankruptcy Code”); that Filmhub’s continued enjoyment of all licensed rights is fundamental to the basic license hereunder; and therefore all licensed rights should be deemed intellectual property subject to Filmhub’s election under Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. You and Filmhub agree that the definition of “intellectual property” in Title 11 of the United States Code also includes trademarks and service marks, as trademarks and service marks are inextricably linked to the other intellectual property to which rights are granted to Filmhub under this Agreement. You and Filmhub agree that upon any election by Filmhub pursuant to Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, Filmhub will be entitled to, on its own or through employees, contractors, agents or otherwise, upgrade, modify and develop derivative works based upon the rights licensed hereunder. In the event of Filmhub’s Bankruptcy, you agree that, notwithstanding Section 365(c)(1) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Filmhub may assume this Agreement and may assign this Agreement."
Any thoughts on this? Sorry for the long message!
Thank you for the kind words! And I’ve never read this stuff closely enough, so I appreciate you bringing it up. I never been directly charged for anything. The only time they charged me for something was for adding ad breaks to the movie like I mentioned in the video. However, they charged me on the back end instead of a fee upfront. Could be related to that? If they started charging up front fees I would have to take that into consideration compared to what I’m making. They are still claiming the license is non-exclusive. As for the bankruptcy, I think this is probably going to be the same situation with any platform like this. We can’t win overall if shit hits the fan. So it’s all a calculated risk. I’ve actually already been victim to this. I had a deal with a theater chain to play this movie, they went bankrupt, and I lost all the revenue. The odds are always against us when we try to make money from our material.
@@alexsrednoselac I'm so sorry to hear about your negative experience, Alex, and thanks again for all the help. I've contacted them regarding this and they said that the charges would be for services that they offer (e.g. captions etc) and that we can terminate the contract at any time without any penalty and our material will be removed from the platforms once we do so. So I guess one way around it would be to keep being informed about how things are going for them, and if something doesn't look good, we could withdraw our material before they go bankrupt. Yes, the odds are against us, whatever we choose to do; at least Filmhub seems more transparent than others.
I was going to say also (but forgot) keeping up with news and if there’s any murmurs about something like that to pull out as soon as possible. It’s tough regardless. Glad my video helped you and raised some great questions! I’m going to have to make a follow up in the near future to bring this up. Really appreciate your insight.
How do you just glance through the fact that your rights are available to them FOR PERPETUITY?!!
There’s no winning. One way or another you’re going to get screwed. If you can’t live with that, don’t make films. Or at least don’t expect anyone to watch it because you’re only option is going to be CZcams and no one will watch it there.
Explain what you mean in detail please.
All of these platforms have it in their terms of service that is they go bankrupt they would have the rights to your film. That’s an evil you’ll have to deal with if you want to get your film out there. If you want to get your film seen you’re going to have to play by their rules. I’m here to try and help guide you through the path of least resistance.
You can take it down anytime.
@mikekillagreen9432 can you though? I'm curious.

Run from Filmhub, iv had the worst experience ever. Truth be told I kinda chose them after watching many videos like this, that are very informative and helpful nonetheless. But, my experience was a complete disaster. I spent three years making a great feature film that qualified for the 2023 Academy awards. I had done amazing marketing and advertising producing including traction. After 3 months they paid me $2:35 and would not provide any data, they are not transparent in anyway and lied endlessly.
I'm sorry that happened to you, but lack of transparency is a streamer problem. Streamers are notoriously bad at reporting analytics. FIlmhub is just the middleman reporting what ever information they are given. And honestly it's not really helpful for you to say "run from Filmbub" without offering some insight into other options. Indie filmmakers already have limited options for distributing their films, so telling people not to use it because you had a bad experience isn't enough.
@@alexsrednoselac Yes I did reply and with a lengthy explanation explaining everything, and it has now disappeared from this thread?
You have been posting this everywhere. Your film failed, but many have been successful, so stop being bitter.
@@alexsrednoselacWell said!
@jonathonjames4926 Dude you got 9 subscribers. Give it up.
Netflix not doing so well. 😂😂. Sick burn. They better take indies or they will continue to lose.
As much as I agree I don't see it happening.
