## About This Software
The Source Filmmaker (SFM) is the movie-making tool built and used by us here
at Valve to make movies inside the Source game engine. Because the SFM uses
the same assets as the game, anything that exists in the game can be used in
the movie, and vice versa. By utilizing the hardware rendering power of a
modern gaming PC, the SFM allows storytellers to work in a what-you-see-is-
what-you-get environment so they can iterate in the context of what it will
feel like for the final audience.
To get started, just click the button above to install. The SFM includes all
the base game assets from Team Fortress 2 along with assets from some of the
first "Meet the Team" short films.
