So who here would definitely use SFM Beta seriously and for constructive feedback...

[guncrashdx]

If only you were given the chance?

If I got my hands on the beta, I would treat Source Film Maker as a program solely meant for great film making. I would try to learn as much as I can on how to use it. Also, I would make sure Valve gets strong feedback on the beta so they could fix it on the final version.

I've been waiting for Source Film Maker ever since the day I first heard of it. Even though leaks for the earlier version came out a while back, I swore to wait until Valve released the final version officially. Now it's finally here... In Beta. The thing is though, Valve is most likely giving it away to big shot contributors and ignoring people who are just as passionate about the program just to be safe.

I know it's basically another "I'm jelly" topic, but I'm sure there are many people here who would do the same thing as I would if they got the invitation key. So if you got the Beta invitation, would you make sure you give what it deserves?

In all honesty, I would use it for film making. I can't really contribute items to the TF2 Store because I don't have any software for making items. I am not sure if I would be someone to recieve the key early or not.
I think it goes by how the person contributed, and also its probably just random.
Be patient. I'm just glad they confirmed that it was being released, and it will be released to everyone eventually, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, I guess could wait. I've gone through Valve Time before...

Still though, I've always wondered if I'm the only one here who wanted to get their hands on the product since day 1.

As DoctorClay stated, be patient.

If you have been waiting for it ever since you have heard of it (Which could be a very long time), then waiting for it to be out of Beta should be an even easier task.

& Yeah, you are the only person to ever want something the first chance it is possible to get... /sarcasm

You are not alone my friend, but as they say, good things come to those who wait.

It would be a great tool for making machinimas, I currently animate in 3ds Max.

[AshKetchum]

I'm new in a youtube channel and I'm really excited with it. I would use the SFM to make awesome videos for my channel :)

[Muji]

Heh,I feel like waiting and studying up on the SFM. And I don't think I would want to use only tf2 maps in the beta. (Unless, you can use maps from other mods, Like ZPS.)

[brettman_1984]

I love making TF2 movies. I've made several and even go to the saxxy finals twice last year. This is the next logical step for me. I have a little experience working with 3ds max after making a hat for the polycount competition.

I dunno, as everybody has said, patience is the key but all of these ideas just need to start going somewhere. Maybe I'll buy a notebook! :D

[iSmile]

Definitely. If I don't use it properly, and abuse it... I know it sounds babyish, but I might actually cry a bit. I've waited SO LONG for SFM to come, and since I might get it (As I have done lots of nice things for Valve, and once I actually MET them (NO TROLL), I think I have a good chance) I would not want to lose the opportunity to lose this magnificent program.

[guncrashdx]

I know the number 1 reply to this topic is "be patient", but seriously, I just want to know if everyone wanted to get the beta. Not because it's SFM, but because you want to give Valve a lot of respect on it and feedback.

[2dor]

I've waited SO LONG for SFM to comeWhen was the first appearence of Source Film Maker ?

[lotsoftrouble]

Watch every MtT from every possible angle to see how different it looks.

[Dante0719]

When was the first appearence of Source Film Maker ?

I beleive the first usage of SFM was the Day of Defeat: Source Trailer.

[Olejac]

And this is where I'd put my extremely awesome SFM movie of epic coolness. If I had one!
Still hoping for the beta key...

[DIENER]

I would use it to make awesome movies and give feedback if I hit bugs.

I want beta.

[UntouchedShad0w]

I want to make cool movies. That's all. If bugs show up then...well it's a beta. I'd say it's there. That's the point of a beta.

[Boelens259]

I'd want it, I have great ideas for serious high quality movie, and I often help with giving feedback, bug reports and etc if I get in a beta, while most people see beta as early access.
