EDIT: Problem solved. Demos had to be started using the console with the command "playdemo [demoname]" instead of loading a demo from the demoui. Thanks cereal!
I've watched 5 tutorials on smoothing. They are all basically the same. I follow the steps, make keys while driving and etc. At the end I click save. Turn off drive. Close the demo. But the smoothed demo just doesn't show up. I tried smoothing with lawena or regular TF2. I tried with demos in different folders than "/tf" folder and with demos in the "/tf" folder. I tried demos with alphanumerical names, just alphabetic names, still no success.
Am I missing some simple step or is there something wrong with my TF2? Or maybe the current tutorials are out of date or somehow the smoothing system is broken? In any case I would really appreciate some help.
Here are the videos I already watched and am following step by step:

They are all basically saying the same things. Still that second smaller demo with "_smooth" doesn't show up.

I remember you can find the smooth through the console rather than searching though the ui. Have you tried that yet?

Which tutorials have you seen? Did you follow them step by step?
Don't forget to "Spline Angles" and "Spline Origin" before you Save the smooth.
The smoothed demo has the same name as the original demo (ie "20150530_2029_cp_gullywash_final1_red_blu"), but with _smooth at the end. (ie "20150530_2029_cp_gullywash_final1_red_blu_smooth") This means if you try to find it via the console and play it, you may get an error - be sure to type in the entire demo name to be able to play it!
For good practice, I would also suggest doing all your smoothing work and active-demo-keeping in your /tf/ folder. Moving directories just makes things a bit more complicated. You can move the demos out of /tf/ when you're done, though.
I hope I've helped!

If you follow this tutorial it will work, if it's not working, you're not paying attention.

Yeah the eXtv smoothing guide is the one I've used in the past to help with smoothing and it worked for me 100% of the time.

The issue is that the smoothed demo doesn't show up. I assume when I click save in the smooth window a second shorter demo will show up in the "/tf" folder with "_smooth" attached to it's old name. But that second demo doesn't show up in any folder.

this happened to me
whenever you want to smooth a demo you have to open it with "play demo [demoname] " in console instead of demoui

Oh WOW! That actually fixed it. What a silly bug to have. Thanks a lot. Case Closed!
