Source Filmmaker: How to get it?

K so recently, i’ve been interested in getting source filmmaker, so i decided that getting it wouldn’t be such a bad idea.
When i turned to google to figure out how to get it, most of the sites i found said that i would need to install a pirated copy of an 2007 version of tf2 beta in order to use it.

I have a legit copy of tf2 beta; would that work? Or would i need to find a pirated copy o:?

Have you tried it with the legitimate copy? If for some reason you can’t, my suggestion would be to get criminal about it

Well… I once got source filmmaker with youtube.
I got it when I was still a youtuber who doesn’t have steam. I was able to make two films but I’m telling you it’s full of bugs. The bullets come out of the face or stomach and it crashes easily especially if you have lots of apps running in the background. When you taunt… the guns don’t move and stays horizontal like a ghost is holding it.

btw it will not work for the released version.
Source filmmaker was leaked during the TF2 beta so it’s only compatible with the TF2 beta.

I deleted it since I can’t alt-tab to watch youtube tutorials. My comnputer can’t handle it.

some ppl say that the normal tf2 version will be released when all the meet the team videos are out but I don’t belive that… ¬¬

The official Source Filmmaker was only in the original TF2 beta (Before it was released), Valve then removed it from the public.

All source games include the demo smoother which, albeit complex, will allow you to do some of the stuff the film maker can (Look up tutorials for it)

I think they used source filmmaker in the L4D intros too.

valve uses source filmaker for every intro in a source game and in all the meet the movies of tf2. Also you can do a “custom filmaker” with source sdk. It consists on creating an animation on it, spawn a bot in the game of wich you have created that animation place the code of the animation and the name of the bot and it will do it.

mechaelite… your sig has been bothering me for a while… you can’t scape? Like Runescape? I think you meant escape…

Thanks for the help kiddos(:

And yea mechaelite, your sig makes you look like a dumbass imho, you should change it.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
