Have you opened it since an update? If you havn't then your gameinfo.txt was changed.

Actually, there is a better solution to eliminate all the ugly rainblow blotches.
1. Download this tool (it's a map extractor) http://ata4.info/bspsrc/downloads.html
2. Extract whatever BMS map you feel like. Place the map in the same place you put the rest of the BMS files within the sourcefilmmaker/game folde. NOTE: you need everything (except the old BSP files) from BMS, not just Materials and Models.
3. Find hammer.exe in sourcefilmmaker/game/bin. Run it and load your map of choice.
4. Select the option "Run Map". Check the box that says HDR, disable loading the map upon completion, then run it. This will take a while.
5. You now have a new map compiled in the verison of Hammer that SFM likes. Make lots of posters and videos

Wow, didn't know you could do that, but that seems like a crazy process for something you really may or may not notice. Plus the regular way you don't have to copy anything over.

Yes, if you are animating a particle, only animate controlpoint0.

Very good for your third video! But wheres the motion blur! It looked very flat and sharp, and add more depth of field, I could see a little in some shots but it should be in every shot. Nontheless very good for a beginner.

Open the vpks that end in "dir" with gcfscape and do it just like you would with gcf's, simple.

You should only set it to 1080p to do the final render, if you enable it while your working, performace will be low. And you only need to do -sfm_resolution 1080

Danke! I hope that doesn't happen, but if it does, I'll be ready!

You do have to do mat_specular 0, sadly it's mandatory for BMS maps, doesn't look that bad without it though.

Steam formatting messed up, there are a couple spaces between Game and ../..

Yes! It's incredibly simple, download/install it, then go into your sfm folder/usermod, open up gameinfo.txt, put Game ../../../sourcemods/BMS above hl2 and make sure it lines up.
