Same except I put exclamation point and question mark symbols making the sfm file invalid so everytime I did "save as" it didn't actually save lol until I figured it out

[@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?

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!

[@CptSourcebird]

I am not sure if Valve could take that as a compliment, but as I saw the " it's way better than any other movie editing program I've used like moviemaker, vegas, adobe premiere", I think that will be a compliment.

thank you so much.

[@greatwesterngaming7956]

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

[@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

[@C.A._Old]

Ah Man. ! ... History Remembered.

[@Zovioh]

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.

[@DIECARS1]

I put my edited audio files into "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\sourcefilmmaker\game\tf\sound\*filename*" 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

[@Zovioh]

It's sort of like the "Arrow in the knee" scenario, where one hears it so often that one feels the need to make a joking comment about it, up until the moment that everybody gets sick of it.

[@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. :)

[@SteakIndustriesOfficial]

I learned it the hard way by searching EVERY take until I found it.

[@Turgineer]

It's nice that all the dialogues from TF2 can be used in SFM.

[@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.

[@fgh3253y]

if you mean it makes it 0.1500 then there is no problem. If you are writing 15 then there is a problem

[@X201]

There are multiple takes in your clip. Collapse Take 1 and you'll see the others. Mute the all (by removing the tick next to game sounds) play the clip and you'll get silence. Now activate them one at a time until you find the active one. Then follow the tutorial as normal.

Have you been placing the file in the same folder as the other directories that SFM recognizes? I've been placing all my new files under /program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/SourceFilmmaker/game/tf_movies/sound/vo with the same bitrate and it's able to locate them.

[@invertedaqua]

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

[@thehuggerofzombies]

Once you downloaded the sound you want, you put it into your Sourcefilmmaker > Game > TF_Movies > Sound > (Choose a folder, like Music). I hear it automatically converts it to a .wav file, but it doesn't for me. Make sure it's .wav otherwise it won't show up. Once you have the file in there, the next time you search for it in the list, hit "rescan" on the top right of the window.

[@Adr_Man]

For anyone still struggling to lower only the game volume: right click the film track (the thing that says your project name and holds all your shots) -> select Show in Element Viewer -> on the left of your screen, under Tree, find the word volume; directly to the right is the value of game volume. By default it is 1.👍

You have to import that sound. Copy the sound you want, and place it in common/SourceFilmMaker/game/tf_movies/sound/mixes/ati_demo Sound files have to be in WAV format in 16 bit and 44100 HZ.

[@ZombieKidSFM]

TheSwordofFlames if the audio file is mp3 then it can only play a few seconds then stop but if you converted your mp3 file to wav then it should work because I did the same thing too and it works but the problem is when you make your animation too long then the wav audio file will be corrupted or laggy audio!
