He forgot to remind me to save. Now all my hard work is gone.

Seriously, what the hell? Why are Valve so overqualified? These kind of shortcuts and considerations for maintaining things synced and the speed in which you can get stuff done, it's way better than any other movie editing program I've used like moviemaker, vegas, adobe premiere. And this is a freaking video editor for a videogame engine! Like god damn!

You forgot to say "And don't forget to hit CTRL+S to save your work"!

[Criken]

is there a way to tie a sound to an actor in the scene? For example to have the scout's domination line sound like its coming from a different position depending on the movements of the camera in relation to the actor?

This the first video I watched with acceptable subtitles in Youtube. Why Valve is different? They think about deaf gamers too. I'm not a deaf person but I really appreciate it.

4:08 it sounded like he was getting annoyed himself lol

Just found this after a while, and after starting my own SFM series, I needed ways to lower the music volume so the dialogue could be heard better. and you helped me out

[ErikFortress]

Extremely well made tutorial, figured it out bit by bit with help from this guy.

hey guys alot of people here in the comments are having a problem on how to move the sound clips. took me forever to find out how. just hold alt and shift and click the middle of the sound clip and you can move it

[huddysaan]

never realised that this program was so simple to use. I guess you've only touched on the basics so far, but still

Also love the design of it. It reminds me of premier pro alot, which is good because I like that program

At 3:32. I'm doing as directed, typing one five but it keeps making it 1500. And I can't make it lower, please reply, and fast if possible! I also can't even mute the tracks.

[Dekubud]

Thank you for the very well done tutorials! Without them, I would not have been able to go past the No map loaded screen! I can't wait to make my own little films! :)

[DIECARS]

I put my edited audio files into "c:\program files but anywhere in the "\game" directory is fine - then hit rescan in the "Add Clip to Track" menu and then search for the filename. Make sure your file is in the ".wav" format or it won't be recognised. Hope this helped! :D

[AvitalShtap]

I have a sound question, and I can't find its answer on any tutorials/forums. Maybe you guys can help! :)
Is there any way to make sound come from a certain direction (i.e., pan the sound)? For example, if Heavy is standing off to the right, and I want to make the sound of his voice come from that direction, can I somehow edit the sound in SFM?
I'm guessing it has to do with the element viewer; I've messed around with that scary thing a couple of times, but I never changed anything except pitch.

[lowgrasswhite]

Hey! I had the same problem but i just figured it out! When youd double click on the shot, there are actually 3 takes! - what you need to edit is take 3, where the soldier came in and shot the rockets. That's where you can lower the volume of the explosions.

I'm just letting any Valve employees watching this know, since this is an open beta, the Play, fast-forward/rewind buttons and record buttons all disappeared when I put the video into sound editing format.

This doesn't really bother me, since I use the hotkeys for those anyway, I'm just letting them know.

[Danthepest]

oh my god, if only I wasn't going on vacation for 3 weeks. I'm so excited about SFM and can't wait to play around with it

[Space_Gaucho]

Nice! thank you, i was panicking a bit here.

[invertedaqua]

You do NOT want to lose all your work...EVER

[Dusty]

Same here no matter what I do the volume never changes.
