Valve Announces Source Filmmaker

Today, Valve announced the release of a beta version of the product, which over the past 7 years has been used and developed to create various commercials produced by the company, and is now used to create a movie and is available to everyone (by invitation from the valve itself)





Here is what the creators write about it:

Source Filmmaker (SFM) is a movie creation utility that was created and used by us to make movies within the Source game engine. SFM is available all the resources that are available and the game itself from which runs the SFM. Using the power of modern SFM gaming PCs allows storytellers to work in the environment of “what I see, I get it” and see exactly the same thing as the final audience. SFM greatly simplifies the creation of videos as it combines everything you need to get a quality product - a render, a video editor, a mocap editor, a sound editor, and more. And we release it for free to everyone (currently, beta is available upon invitations to which you can subscribe to the program’s website using steam . - Note of the translator ) because we believe that the community will again create many great things just like it was when we released some parts of our internal toolkit last time (source sdk, particle editor. - Approx. translator ).
