    I'm getting a lot of lag in source film maker, when my computer can handle all other source engine games just fine. Help?

    i only ran it twice, i did get some lag when i was loading up the map on the second time, but thats probably because i also has 3 tabs up

    I usually have 4 tabs up at all times on chrome, I'll try and see if that makes a difference.

    I'd either look it up on the Steam Users' Forum or report it there if you can't find a thread. Remember that it's still in beta.

    I would keep in mind that it's all in beta, and the system requirements are different than most Source games.

    Minimum:
      • OS: Windows 7 / Vista (Windows 7 64 bit suggested)
      • Processor: 3.0 GHz P4, Dual Core 2.0 (or higher) or AMD64X2 (or higher)
      • Memory: 2GB (4 GB suggested)
      • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 200 series card or better, or AMD Radeon 3000 series or better (NVIDIA GeForce 400 series or AMD Radeon 5000 series preferred)
      • Monitor: 1366 x 768 (1920 x 1080 suggested)
      • Hard Drive: At least 15 GB of Space
      • Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible USB headset with mic (suggested)
    If you also see that white diagonal line in the viewport, that definitely means you don't meet the requirements, Valve will probably get around to fixing that eventually.

    I have the same problem, I don't get any lag when I hit F11 and enter the gameworld, but in SFM itself I do
    Here are my specs:
    OS: Windows 7 64 bit
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00GHz
    Memory: 4 GB
    Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6450
