update: i used sfmlab and it worked, but the video player does not show the video and rather just the audio

why is the video appear as glicthy when trying to play in-sync? i downloaded the SFMlab version btw cuz steam version didnt work

@RessyKid scripts > keyframe > keyframe vlc and it'll open a small window (give it a moment). Then another window should open and it'll say File in the top left

you say "open a video in the player" WHAT PLAYER

it suddenly just wants to crash the second I put a video in

I know that S2FM isn't as popular but could you port this script into S2FM?

wait no I would like to retract my statements I was indeed the dumbass I figured it out amazing little tool you've made here 10/10 and 5 stars

where even is the python file? it doesn't seem to exist anywhere on my computer or the .zip file before extraction

idk if you still support this addon but as far as I can tell the .py script doesn't even exist in zip folder anymore. I did a full folder and subfolder search on my computer and nothing showed up

Holy shit, that's a masterpiece oh god

Thank you, this is incredibly helpful for recreating scenes!

no and i fixed it by downloading your addon on sfmlab

does any error show up in the console when you click it?

when i click keyframevlc in sfm nothing happens

Thanks a lot!

"...and then he hurled the man on a boat and then he beat the crap out of every single one.."

restart sfm

hey, installed the vlc folder to the workshop/scripts/sfm folder as described but there's no keyframe tab in the dropdown. What do I need to do?

thx

for the most part yes, but the player was mainly designed to be used frame by frame with sfm, so a 30 fps video and a 60 fps project may not play at the same speed, cause of the extra frames sfm added. Im not sure but if you temp change the project fps to match the video then change back it might adjust the key frames accordingly. if not you could always space out the key frames manually to get the timing right.

Does the project and the video have to be in the same frame rate in order to play smoothly?

did you try this? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2709107277/3201496371586424365

Ah yes

Shit this is what i was looking for, Thanks!

@Engi Cat

If you have a video that you are trying to use for reference, rather than trying to play both at the same time separately, this allows SFM to play both at the same time and you can allow it to make the reference video be a bit transparent to better compare the two.

i'll probably sound like an idiot but what is this mod actually doing? because i don't understand the description

SFM default is 24fps so when I started a new project without changing the project framerate and tried this, the overlayed video played faster when synced to SFM playback. It speeds up with any fps setting higher than 12 and slows down for anything lower. It's most obvious with 3fps and 60fps since those are the lower and upper limits, respectively, for SFM.

whats the fps of the video your using? and this happens when you press play just in the video or when you press play in sfm when synced?

I got the script and everything to work, but it seems like if you don't have your project set for 12fps, the speed of the video in the player either speeds up or slows down.

Is there any way to potentially have it work out how fast to play the video for any speed that someone has their project at?

Oh ok, just figured it out. thanks.

you use sfm for that, like a rig script

No, the zip file is fine. i was able to unzip it. the problem im talking about is the keyframevlc.py. i tried clicking on keyframevlc.py, but when i did, it said that what app should i open it with...

are you talking about the zip file? just use the default zip opener in windows or install 7zip

Question, what do you open it with? because i tried doing the first step and it said what app should i open it with.

To me, as a Digital Animator, this is too wealthy for SFM. It's that good, and I am damn thankful for it.

@Beanos60, the purpose for this program is to mimic certain animations from any reference video. For example, an MMA fighting style or a movie highlight scene, or just simply an inspiration poster. Using those kinds of references over what you make. It's more common on drawing animations like flipbooks or the animations back in the 80s like Lion King or Cinderella.

Wait so it copies poses?

a tutorial explaining how it works would be very useful

you've done this community a great service, thank you.

This thing made animating so much easier, honestly thank you.

If this is what I think it is... Thank you so much, I have been looking for this kind of addon for a long while now!

It conflicts with discord, it's trying to stream my game to friends and the image in the window start to flicker XD

just follow the setup steps

i don't know whether it automatically sets itself up or what
i dont know if im supposed to put it in scripts(folder) or sfm(folder

it works thx

follow these steps then let me know if it works. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2709107277/3201496371586424365/

yeah

do you have 'vlc.py' and the .dll files in this dir: 'SourceFilmmaker\game\workshop\scripts\sfm\vlc'

This is insane, thank you kindly for creating this addon.
