I am having trouble with actually using SFM (Source Film Maker)

Over the past couple of days me myself have been creating a little poster which in my opinion looks pretty cool, but I don't know how to export or anything to actually make it into a photo/poster in which was my goal from the start. I need some help and it would be fantastic if someone could lend me a hand with this.

Kind regards
Mexican Riccardo

How to export a poster:

1. Make sure your poster is ready. Then, go into the clip editor.

2. Right click the view port, render settings, then enable: Ambient occlusion, progressive refinement, subjitter, and depth of field. Set the depth of field to >64.

3. When that renders (you can see in the bottom right hand corner), go to export > image, or export to clipboard.

3.5 If you export to clipboard, paste in paint, then either save as a png, or copy and paste to photoshop/gimp (if you plan on editing post production).

4. You're done. You got that!

Ending notes: Don't export as a poster. This export method is buggy, as it doesn't render everything.
