Creating a .gif using SFM...

[¤EyyLmao¤™Brotherhood of Nod]

So, I wanted to make a .gif using the Source Film Maker and I completed the short piece which I thought was funny. However, I am new to using SFM and I don't know how to get the image of the current shot.

I tried Image to Clipboard but that did nothing, with just "export>image" also did nothing. Any help?

Export all images*, and import them into a gif-making program. Source FilmMaker (currently) has no features for gif files.

* File > Export > Movie > Image sequence.

No, no, no. I know a program. I just wanted to acquire the images to make an interesting .gif.

Also, thanks! I'll try that out and reply back when I'm done.

file export movie

Change the path to where you want to save the clip images (optional)

(now like Vintage said)

change Export from Movie to Image Sequence

Select the format for the source image files and set the image resolution size (This will be the size you want to create the gif in.)

Change duration to Custom and set the frames or time in the clip you want to capture.


Open the images in the GIF creation program and create your animated gif...

I successfully (well...almost, the .gif itself is a little glitchy) created a .gif, but now the problem is using it in TF2...

I don't know what a .vtf is and I doubt a .tga is what I want for the animation to play.

You mean like a animated spray in TF???

[¤EyyLmao¤™Brotherhood of Nod]

Yeah, I have a program to make a .gif but I forgot that they are not usable in TF2.
