VisualHub has been discontinued and is no longer for sale or download.
In 2008, news that Techspansion, the developer of two very popular Mac OS X video conversion tools — iSquint and VisualHub — was shutting shop left the Mac community feeling a little, well, empty.
However, after considerable community outcry from people who loved VisualHub, Tyler has now released the source code for two of his projects (with new names) online to a SourceForge repository.
The source code for the last development build of VisualHub 2, aka FilmRedux is now online, click on the download link to access them.
FilmRedux is in pre-Alpha stage and there is little written information about the app available. The screenshot however reveals that the program has its roots in VisualHub but with a refreshed visual interface and a more traditional Apple style property inspector palette.
The corresponding ReadMe file says ‘it’s unfinished, unpolished, and includes latent code from another project, but a lot of the core is in place. iTunes-compatible conversions mostly work, and 80% of the UI is working. Intentions are there, it just needs some TLC from smarter people.’
