***** yeah broh i dont like the fact that most people can only put effort into obligations (school etc) its basic of course but we also have to develop an auto-didactic mindset ,we dont need to be forced to get thing done :D
Technology Music I'm not calling it a mistake. I'm calling it a bit of entertainment. This video was just so boring. It's a good video, don't get me wrong. But a boring one.
For the ppl who got stuck at 36:00. The reason u cant make a smooth transition is because you applied the change before finishing what you were doing. Remove the zoom you made, make a new one, and don't hit enter until you have held down shift and scrolled mousewheel to make a transition. Then you can save the manipulation.

I copied a comment from the official video list and it has been useful to me , you will maybe use it in 45:00 Here it is : IF your scout doesn't move/runs in place Choose "Pose Params Drive Root" instead of "Don't Generate Root Motion". I had the same problem and this fixed it. - bluecore
My university uses pretty much every other animation program except SFM, all of which I hate. 3DS Max, Maya, Unity, they all suck. I wish they would incorporate a class teaching us how to use SFM. But I guess that would be too complicated since you need Steam to use it and that would just tempt students to play games in class.
I remember when I was like 10 or 11 getting up at 5 am to watch this video and TRY to make an animation, I'm 13 now, and I could barely understand everything because my first language isn't English, I still can't do an animation so my goal right now is to do one :D
THIS TUTORIAL WAS G8 M8!!! I had absolutely NO clue how to use SFM, but after this, I was making some absolutelty hilarious stuff for my friends to watch. thanks.
To be honest..this official thing is so much more better than all the other SFM tutorials other TH-cam’s give, now don’t get me wrong their pretty nice, is just prefer something that sounds more then enough simple, but I’d also prefer some that is an absolute expert and one thing, so thanks mate for this
this guy explains everything like we already know the terms to sfm, or how to do anything really. he doesn't explain stuff that i feel is important to know.
+Leebles There are other guides out there to learn the basics of 3d softwares. Heck, if you want to have a little knowledge of 3d elements, start with Blender. It's free, it's not powerful but it's easy to learn. Then, after you've learned how to use Blender then you will find sfm much easier or rather easier to grasp the concepts.
My mind is full of film ideas but im too stupid to understand how this program works.. this is so hard looking and my mind can't catch up what his doing on the video.. damn.. i guess i never can make awesome movies.. they are trapped in my brain forever.
I started using SFM today and I'm handling it pretty easily. But being able to get the hang of the program without any hitches was reliant on me having a year's worth of experience in After Effects. My point is that having trouble with the interface is going to be something that happens to most people, but the more time you spend using it, the easier it'll get
i was like hmm,what map should i use,while this guy was talking,then i choose mountainlab and he sai "i know which map i will be using today,its called mountainlab" XD
Ata Sancaktar Does anyone have a text version of this? I just hate video tutorials, what takes an hour and 15 minutes here could be explained in 30 minutes of text tutorial, especially without all the "we worked on blockbusters blablabla, but the SFM is so much better" stuff.
Thiefnuker I think video tutorials help one hell of a lot more for me, because I can just do whatever the tutorial is telling me to do while I'm doing it. But that's just me, the visual learner :D
+Thiefnuker I know this is really late, but incase you are still looking I am in progress of writing down everything useful he says, then organizing it
people hate it, people love it. its buggy as hell. looks beautiful. will make your computer explode, its easy to learn. is freeeee. thats the second best 3D animation software out there baby. blender still the first.
Played SFM without watching failed horribly Watches video then tries again, ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING USEFUL TO WHAT I'M DOING! good luck using sfm without this video
***** I said you were acting like babies But I didn't see his comments so I don't know how much of a dick he is but if you're that irritated it doesn't matter
Just to help anyone out who's struggling, try keeping notes. That's what I'm doing right now (I spent 3 hours writing down every damn keyboard shortcut) and writing things down really seem to be helping :D And try to find the motivation to learn something new, even if it seems there won't be any benefits.
Well, like most people, I was following him pretty well, but now I'm screwed and need help. I've got a bunch of cuts with this blue scout running. I'm being the red scout and trying to chase him. But when record with the red scout about to chase him while recording, It stops after the first camera shot. I tried selecting all shots before recording, putting the playhead in different places, but it stills stop recording after that first camera shot. What do I do?!??!
I don't understand how you guys managed to get anything done with this. I spent 2 hours trying to get a character's outfit lined up correctly. I tried to bind the two transform nodes together, the same effect works in Maya and motion builder and UE3/UE4, but in SFM everything was off-set slightly so I still had to spend ages tweaking. There are no precision transform or movement tools. everything is counter intuitive and the camera movement has the strange feeling of 'sliding on ice' I can see the potential but you guys were obviously on acid when you set up half of this shit.
People call it source spaghetti, but I think your doing whatever you trying to do wrong, the official Sfm tutorial I’ve heard isn’t the best one, but yeah.
I downloaded this but it doesn't work... I've waited for 12 hours for this... F*** this... When I create a new one, it just show the top part and I can't do anything...
Sebastiansmind Well, my extremely vague advice is that you start small, really small; watch other people's SFMs for inspiration/motivation, take breaks and become a friend of forums.
lulucool45 no not that. I mean there are missing textures, i can't find out how to move around to other places in the map, I don't know how to safe a picture or Video, i don't know how to take a picture to animate it, and i don't know how to get the FNaF 4 map to open.
+Make It Real if you using a laptop I assume then hit the number 5 that is on the right of your keyboard not the ones up top sorry if I couldn't help or if I'm late
Well TF2 is the base thing for SFM but you can still make other videos with different games like HL,Portal,etc. if you want new models you can use the Workshop for new stuff to work with
I'm a 13 year old male and i'm completly addicted to SFM animation (both watching and attempting to make clips) I wish I could understand the some words the Valve instructer was using to explain the way he edits clips. I try so hard, really hard to make SFM clips, but it just ends up me screwing up continuesly. I really want help ='( and I want to grow up to be an animator, I would love someone to help me just for a simple brief explanition and tutorial for me to get a postive view on my way I use SFM and I would love to show my father my work because he is really happy I like this subject I would love it if I could recieve help, by all means thank you.
You should start out with a more simple program rather than SFM. If you get used to that, then go back to SFM. Then you'll understand more of what he was talking about, because shortcuts are more commonly found in other animation tools too! Hope this helped c:
Obs! There is a difference in default shortcut-keys and those used in the tutorial. You will be stuck at th-cam.com/video/xG02JftoiLU/w-d-xo.html -That is where he adds a red opponent. He says "press Numpad-5". That is not the default qwerty key. You need to press *dot* "." in order to open the team-selection menu You need to press *comma* "," in order to open the character-selection menu
Nathan u deserve way more subscribers! I see react chanells with like 900,000 subs and they don't put much work in that.

I copied a comment from the official video list and it has been useful to me , you will maybe use it in 45:00
Here it is :
IF your scout doesn't move/runs in place
Choose "Pose Params Drive Root" instead of "Don't Generate Root Motion". I had the same problem and this fixed it. - bluecore
It's my new-years resolution to figure out how this program works.
Didja follow through with it? Lemme check your channel.
Did you?
That moment when your only 10 minutes into the video and you´re already like "Yep, I´ll definetly have to watch this again...."
A free animation software. It takes time to learn but it is fun.
Took me almost two weeks to watch all of this and put it into practice.
I barely remember anything and don't know what I'm going to make.
Fuck
TwoRetardsFindTH-cam what!? I'm black boi!!
Just follow what he is doing until end
only took me a few hours to follow
TheRealSlimSaiyan It took me 90 hours to make my first decent animation.
Great help for people just starting SFM. I think I've watched this 5 times over my sfm career. which has been 2 days. So yea.
installed source film maker... done first 2 chapters of that video.. got complicated.. started tf2 and just playing of my frustration.. ;)
Ooh, so they are the team of professional movie makers, that's why their shorts are so freaking good
Not as difficult as I thought, but maybe not the best tutorial ever.
Still he went over.
I still have no clue what im doing
Then again, that's just me in general
I'm with you on that

SFM is for other stuff then tf2 as well, tf2 is just one of the popular games to make SFM's on.
you can use nearly any game
Dude, thank you for making this compilation it really help me learn how to use this program a bit better. thank you again.
This Is a freaking awesome app! Thank you for sharing! You guys are the best! Two thumbs up five stars!
why do i have 6 fps when i use the work camera ?
my pc isn't that bad
PonyTrolling fartgarfunker And why does mine only have 700 fps when I'm in the work camera? I need a new pc.
James Smith when you move the camera you have 700 fps ? how ??
I could use smf if I had 20 fps, but this is insane ..
PonyTrolling fartgarfunker same.
PonyTrolling fartgarfunker I have like a 7,000 dollar PC thats how
36:18 is where shit gets complicated
00:00 is where shit gets complicated
+Peter D lol
1:13:08 is where s#! t gets complicated
jk I agree with the second guy
I don't see anything complicated with this. If you have basic knowledge of animating and rigging, this is a kids game (almost)
boi
I'm a 13 year old male and i'm completly addicted to SFM animation (both watching and attempting to make clips)
I wish I could understand the some words the Valve instructer was using to explain the way he edits clips.
I try so hard, really hard to make SFM clips, but it just ends up me screwing up continuesly. I really want help ='( and I want to grow up to be an animator, I would love someone to help me just for a simple brief explanition and tutorial for me to get a postive view on my way I use SFM and I would love to show my father my work because he is really happy I like this subject
I would love it if I could recieve help, by all means thank you.

You should start out with a more simple program rather than SFM. If you get used to that, then go back to SFM. Then you'll understand more of what he was talking about, because shortcuts are more commonly found in other animation tools too! Hope this helped c:
Technology Music And what simple program do you recommend?
Obs! There is a difference in default shortcut-keys and those used in the tutorial.
You will be stuck at th-cam.com/video/xG02JftoiLU/w-d-xo.html -That is where he adds a red opponent. He says "press Numpad-5". That is not the default qwerty key.
You need to press *dot* "." in order to open the team-selection menu
You need to press *comma* "," in order to open the character-selection menu
I'm using this every time I work with the SFM so I don't forget anything important! As long as I need to! :) Awesome videos I've watched!
SO FUCKING COMPLEX
I don't know why but this comment made me laugh really hard
+yrjosmiel73 Welcome to movie making
Its an animation tool, if it wasn't complex it wouldn't be able to do everything you need it too.
well amma make a tff2 animation about the crew wanting to poop but the toilet is miles away
Don't.
Nosochlup YES I WILLLL SUCK KA
DO IT! JUST... DO IT!
Lil_ blu mature much?

Thanks mate! I don't have a computer but I'm planning to get source filmmaker and make 3D tf2 animations! Very soon....
I can't even load the map because there's none on mine.
Do you own TF2, CS:GO, GMod, or any other source games on steam?
Colbie Dison indeed i do own all of three of them.
Cloud Weird. Maybe check the forums?
You have downloaded a map from Workshop ?

Brilliant video thanks a lot helping me with my very first animations :)
Seriously this is so great, thank you so much for making something that deep, even if i will probably suck so bad at it
SFM was made to hate me
***** Very easy... NOT. When I move a model's bone it looks horrific...
+XxTornadicoSpeedxX FNAF SFM's are not real SFM's
+XxTornadicoSpeedxX oh, for the love of Talos please stop advertising, it will not give you any subs because nobody likes when you advertise like this
+TNe TeNZ how is he advertising?
+Deluxe490 the comment i was writing about is deleted, he was advertising his own channel A LOT.
it's all ogre now
This is going to take me a while. Just downloaded this so I’m Gona back here a few times 😆
Nathan u deserve way more subscribers! I see react chanells with like 900,000 subs and they don't put much work in that.
