"You have selected all of time before and after", gee,z make me sound so empowered!

[@CHEESER7]

i was as confused as anyone here , but i watched it the third time and took notes, paused the areas i didn't understand and rewatched, paused and tried it in sfm consequtively . actually its pretty easy when you finally understand it. Dont give up guys

It's impressive how such a complex film-making program was made by a few people at Valve making use of Source. This is something I would expect from a large company purely dedicated to these types of software (Adobe, Autodesk, etc.). Kudos to you guys, Valve is awesome!

[@lukelcs8934]

If your confused like I was at 3:00 as to how he's creating the soft fall-off, what you do is hold on shift and scroll with the mouse wheel, it's simple, it was just unclear in that bit. So far these tutorials have been pretty good, but this bit was confusing. I get it now though, hopefully that helps someone.

[@Chubzdoomer]

Tutorials 1 through 4 were pretty well done. They were presented at a pace suitable for their complexity. This tutorial, on the other hand, features a similar running time to cover a much more complex subject. As a result, it's rushed and simply not taught very well.

Okay, that was confusing. xD

[@santinocampos4566]

Same for me

[@MarthMarthy]

OH MAN I get this now! It's actually pretty brilliant. If you're familiar with Keyframes, think of the start and end of a time selection as two keyframes, and all of time selected is just like editing a value universally rather than over a span of time.

[@Segab]

I didn't exactly understand the first time since I was expecting this to be more like nearly any software's way of controlling animations with keyframes, but after messing around with it for a few minutes I understood how to use that progressive green selection thing.

[@mockingbird667]

It's quite fun to make stuff in SFM, the only thing really unnerving is learning how to use it.

[@noahx44]

btw guys if you want to skip to the part where he actually explains time selection 2:00 thunbs this up so people can see, or dont, your choice.

[@anthonyc19]

This completely went over my head.... Wow... Has anyone made a tutorial for this aspect of it that actually makes sense?

[@racapinang]

I understood the complexity of this video to the others who doesn't have prior experience. I probably understand this good becauss of my experience in 2D animation, and yes, this seems like it's rushed. Just... Take your time fellas, I learned myself 2D principles for years.

[@WanderfromSOTC]

Finally, the mind fuck.

[@Doctor-NOOOOOOOOOOO]

shouldve used the graph animation tool in sfm instead of this mindfuck called a motion editor

[@SgtPrice1000]

This felt like he repeated each thing 3 different times. I was rocking up until this point...

[@CookiesOnFridays]

had to watch this about 5 times to understand... Finally, I can continue...

[@IsaacA192]

Im not much of a gamer, but im slowly getting my head around this program, but just because you think it takes little effort to figure out doesn't mean everyone can, the world does nor revolve around you.

[@Bobslobtheblob]

I agree, it is a lot harder than I expected, but after building a computer just to get better fps in this, I can't give up :(

[@hunterlew2797]

Guys if you're confused about making the soft time selection falloff, hover your mouse over the beginning or end of the orange zoom in field of view, hold shift and scroll up on your mouse wheel. This is what worked for me, if it doesn't work for you then idk what else to try

[@Blap7]

Thank god, he finally remembered to save.

[@KullTrumpet]

You, sir, just told everyone my reaction, and therefore you are a talented mind-reader.

[@MOo8996cz]

Wow. I´m glad I still understand this...

[@Chubzdoomer]

No, his argument is very valid. He's saying that just because you think it takes little effort doesn't mean that's a fact and that everyone else can use it just as easily. It's as valid as any other argument.

[@Val-sf24]

I love how this was 10 years ago, and I’m watching this rn to make videos 💀

[@kumkum6633]

These tutorials were not confusing at all

[@Shaohz]

I had not the slightest clue on how to use SFM except for loading maps and putting in models that I didn't know how to pose. I hope there will be the Saxxy Awards again this year!

[@MultiSuperfunny]

This is actually really easy to understand in my opinion

[@SSM24_]

Hey you remembered to tell us to save our work this time :D

[@1ake1]

Actually, i am not confused at all. After learning how to use photoshop, video editing, illustrator, unreal engine that looks easy.

Explorer, what was he trying to say in this video?

[@helix2331]

yeah ok good for you

[@mikab4678]

I had to rewatch it to fully understand it, it is a very complicated program.

[@TheBronyCraft]

To make the soft Falloff you need to click "Near" the edge of the selection. Not "on" the selection. Took me a few minutes to figure this out

[@Wqtraz]

you can always use the motion editor, select the frame you don't like and use the ramp filter to even it out. i think that may solve the problem. Or i just have no idea.

[@Rowanjo00]

OH no what have you done you have attracted the rest of the horde!!

[@MissSaiyanPrincess]

These are easier to understand if you have sfm open and follow the steps whilst watching the video, writing down some key points such as what certain buttons do really does help as well as you don't have to refer back to the videos if you forget something.

[@ChaostheClown]

I agree, these tutorials are easy to understand and EXTREMELY helpful in getting familiar with the tools this software has. I just think people were upset with the way you had to say it. There's no need to be disrespectful, dude. Some people learn at a slower pace, but they still learn. Some people get scared at the daunting tasks and the time it'll take to learn to master them with something like this, and just give up all together. Take it easy, you just started off hostile n people went D:

[@heisernsu]

Wait who were you replying to? Or was it the narrator of the tutorials

[@tf2engineer]

I forgot how to disable audio, and on some wiki page I accidentally stumbled upon a super easy way to fix the annoying reverb with in-game sounds... if anyone is experiencing a problem with audio reverb, go to Element Viewer>activeClip>trackGroups>Sound and do a slow double click on the word "Sound." This should prompt a rename text box, just put a # in front of "Sound" ("#Sound")! Your in-game sounds should be much less choppy. Hope this helped, it sure helped me!

[@IsaacA192]

No my argument is perfectly valid, you make yourself out to be better then everyone else because apparently you find the program and the tutorial easy to follow, some people don't and yet you insinuate that they are intellectually impaired, so i say just because you find something easy doesn't mean everyone does, there for i present the expression the world does not revolve around you, the meaning is in context to what you said there for its valid.

[@bryanlaieuchen7937]

To me, this is the time where things get compilicating.

[@iobjection]

You can choose the normal running cycle, and manually edit the snipers arms so that they are swinging by rotating the shoulders or something. It'll take some time, but it'll give you the effect.

[@LethalAxis]

its so interesting. Even though this is hard just imagining how harder it would be to do in 3ds max makes me keep trying.

thank you for amazing videos bro!!!!!!!!

[@PsychoFlounder]

"If we want to make a soft time selection, you can go ahead and drag out a fall off by either clicking and draging at the edges of the time selection, or holding down the shift mose wheel." This part didn't make any sense to me, please help. Also, I couldn't perform the action.

[@fellll9774]

What it does: if you make a change, it can make those changes happen gradually rather then suddenly. How to do it: you can create a soft selection by clicking the time selection and then whilst pressing shift, using the mouse wheel.

Very confusing, but I think i got it. I used Spy instead of Pyro, just to be different, I even figured out how to make his head turn as the camera pulls back, as if he's watching the scouts run past.

[@flyby501]

Please elaborate!

[@RangerIcicle]

It helps if you have different computer specifications, as that's what they're looking for right now. Really good computers or really bad computers aren't as important in a beta as the ones in the middle.

[@sarajessfilms]

I just figured it out after a half hour... while the sequence is orange still, make sure you get the orange triangles, if not, while it's still orange, try doing the shift + mouse wheel... That technique helped me the most, however my falloff went beyond my clip.

[@ReadRightHere]

Exactly. Pure Marmalade is another channel which completely agrees.

[@FlareSFM]

What Episode Did You Go Over Moving The Camera ?

[@Ickyus]

Ah I finally understand the soft part. I thought you meant press shift and mouse wheel. It's actually press shirt and scroll the mouse wheel. Nearly lost my mind until I found another video that just explained it a little differently.
