Group for movie creators

The SourceFilmmaker has been released on July, 11 2012 as Valve had promiced. It has a lot of improvements and you can get it here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/1840/ for free.




Information about an old one SFM:

The Source Filmmaker (codename BoxRocket) is an unreleased in-game video editing and recording tool. It has been used internally by Valve to create all of their promotional videos since Prelude to Victory.

It was mistakenly released during the 2007 Team Fortress 2 beta and used by many before the whole tools system was deactivated. The released build is incompatible with the current build of Source.

Filmmaker allows you to:

Record footage to uncompressed AVI directly from the engine
Record yourself performing one part, then rewinding and record yourself performing another
Publish videos to directly Steam
Control camera placement and movement
Add per-object motion blur and depth of field
Import choreography scenes

But you still can use it!

Here is a little guide (from http://etf2l.org/forum/movie/topic-8333/page-1/)

Step 1: Download Team Fortress 2 Beta.

Step 2: Install it. DO NOT INSTALL IN STEAM FOLDER just in case they would be able to track it. (Yes i know install is weird, a naked guy with his ♥♥♥♥ censored skulls and some weird music playing but it works i used it.)

Step 3: Open FINAL_FIXX.rar and put these files in the installation folder of your beta TF2. Replace everything.

Step 4: Download the bin files.

Step 5: Open the .zip file and put everything in the bin folder of your beta TF2.

Step 6: Make a shortcut of hl2.exe

Step 7: Right click, go to properties and in the end of target field put this in
“-game tf -applaunch 440 -window -noborder -novid -tools” without the quotes.

Step 8: Launch the shortcut and it should now work.
