Repeat, to remove the lag from SFM, follow those:
1 - Load a map and etc.
2 - Right click on anywhere on the map.
3 - Unselect the following:
"Progressive Refinement"
4 - Then, right click again on map and go to "Render Settings".
5 - Unselect "Ambient Occlusion".

Dude, tutorial aside, you have an amazing voice.

Tip! When learning how to use this, do not choose a map with a bunch of loud ambient background noises. They overlap with each take. If you have 12 takes on 2fort like I did you will get 900 cows mooing at the same time.

Gmod is still great for fun. You can`t build things in it. Gmod will live. But of course many of videomakers would practice SFM

"you can sort of fly around, just like you were in the game"... if you hack.

No matter how well I may learn this and AfterEffects, I will never make anything remotely as awesome as Harry101UK does...

It's a very difficult program to learn, but I'm not giving up. I keep watching these tutorials over and over, as I slowly progress myself to become better. I've had about 2 years of experience with cameras and movies, and I know that I'll be able to master this too. Every time I look at all the animations, it motivates me to keep going. Patience is mostly the key, to keep working with something like this. I wouldn't say that since I love movies and work with cameras, I shouldn't use this. But I'm learning it, because I want to create stories.

I'm gonna tame this motherfucker.

may i say that this tutorial is AMAZING. they explain everything from scratch to literaly do your own animation. big thumbs up for the SFM Devs and community with awesome tutorials like these.

I wonder if Gabe Newell knows how much porn is made with source filmmaker?

*Congratulations, You have done everything right.*
Man, proud moments in my life.

[Tronicate]

Why do I like the voice so much? Seriously... is it just me?

[phingset]

the saddest thing about these types of tutorial series on YouTube is that there are less and less views as you go along..

I love Valve. They actually care about their community and provide us all these awesome tools to even make our own videos using their games! Thank you for this wondrous opportunity, Valve Staff! :D

I finally found out mann manor is a reskin of this map

[UbiquitousBooks]

I can't wait to get my hands on this. I hope that eventually we will be able to pull in resources from the other source games. This is going to be a seriously powerful tool for the community. Also, the recent news that Shane Acker is making a movie in Source makes a lot more sense now.

I just got my key today. :) <3 I can't wait to mess with this. This is what all gaming companies should do, something great for their community. Thank you Valve, you have just birthed many creative minds within the community, and many great quality videos. Many funny videos as well! Thanks so much. :) <3

this program is gonna be how I FINALLY learn 3d animation. I won't have to get lost in the weeds of blender, I love that program but you have to go through so much just to get to the animation part of the pipeline if you make stuff from scratch.

[HumanGrunt]

i thought, "hey, lets try source filmmaker, it cant be that hard... right?" well, i take 20 minutes to pose 1 character

[emilianocarra]

For all the people who gets lag, i recommend right click in the screen window and go to render settings and change the "AO only" to "Outiline only".

[MarcusThrows]

I like how he’s doing an animation tutorial but all we talk about is his asmr voice
