[SFM TUTORIAL 01] Making a basic movie Start to Finish

This is so confusing I AM 12 I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO DO MATH WHY TF DID I THINK I CAN MAKE AN ANIMATION!?

i hate sfm it never works it trash

how

Watched this like 10 times and still don't even know how to use SFM

When you use sfm, there might be flickering, if there is, one way to fix it is by going to:

Windows>Engine Window>Auto Hide Engine Window turned to off

This is just one way to fix flickering, but this is how mine was fixed, hopes this helps someone :D

i hope one day someone makes SFM useable by the commen man
and just for superhumans

When i export it, i can't change the format to an mp4, it only shows for avi

SFM is confusing as heck i dont get how people understand this

Thank u very much

how to open a dmx file

I just wanna animate as good as DaFuq Boom!

I fucking hate this video and sfm its so confusing and hard im crying rn
Edit: I forgot to say that you are the worst teacher ever and you dont explain anything good fuck you

Help how do I move the camera. Not even moving cameras I don’t know how to move it the get a different angle. I’m serious.

Thanks a ton for the guide! Used this vid to make my first SFM animation XD

YES THANK YOU

I would say this tutorial is outdated but then I remember valve hasn't updated it since release..

this sucked

my source film make acts like a film from the 1800.

If you wanna move the model without destroying it in graph editor, just use roottransform in the body option

Can someone just explain how do I add frames like make a frame then do the second one to make an animation

Thanks, first thing I did was make him dab, second thing I did was close the programme, never to be touched again.

MikuMikuDance is better with user interface friendliness, oh and it smoothes the motion for you.

i can't find the secondary viewport.

When you think you messed up in SFM but it got it in a pose better than you expected

Eddy: you know why you're here
Me: haha just a funny coincidence no one knows what I plan on using this for
Eddy: here's some sexual music suggestions
Me: Lol that's funny, but I'm sure I'm the only one that wants to use this program for "special" animations
File: rig-Astley-nude
Me: oh fuck

Does this work in s2fm?

How can something be in Beta for 9 years?

him: fell free to put backgroud misc
me: DOOM

someone pls tell me how to make my movie longer its only 1 minute long and i dont know how to make it atleast 1 hour

Thanks bro this really helped and before i saw this i did not know what to do

AHHHHH I HAVE NO BSP FILESSSSSSSSSS

Dude i make my character do a sequence like a dance, and after he finishes it he teleports to the point he spawned, and if i try to move him it doesn't work, what to do??? i never find this in any videos i look, i am a dumb proffesional and i need help

I'm having trouble in using the graph editor...it's so difficult for me to pose the animation model i want and keep it in this pose....

aha

Can you tell me I deleted all my tabs and I don't know what to do

How to remove the white strings attached to green dots when I spawned a model on sfm?

God, is it too much to ask for a decent tutorial that isn't 5 hours long that's split up into 10 different parts and explains everything in a straightforward STEP BY STEP manner without unnecessary small talk and filler? All we need to know is how to animate characters ffs, yet every tutorial bounces around from topic to topic about unnecessary bullshit! Like, just save all that for another video. 😒

**IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS READ THIS**

This is from the creator aka Eddy him self. for people who cant move the character or camera or other stuff:

If you're having any sorts of trouble not being to move something - please check you're in the right timeline, the correct item/model selected, and the blue arrow playhead is in the spot you're working on.
Also, SFM is a heavy resource program. If you're having issues or lag, it's most likely your setup.

Posting this since many of the problems in the comments are related to the same issue.
