Dear TF2 community. As we have noticed there are quite a few tf players in the Reflex scene, I wanted to share this with you to maybe motivate you or your friends to get into moviemaking:

Introducing Demoflex Ultimate.

Demoflex ultimate builds onto our initial release of Demoflex, enhances its user experience, and adds functionality which arguably makes Demoflex ultimate the most advanced demo / replay environment ever made. Before approaching Demoflex ultimate, we went back and questioned which functions did, and did not work in our previous release. We referred to the comments and feedback provided by the reflex community which makes us feel secure and excited to tell you about a few changes and updates in more detail.

To ensure a sustainable solution for years of movie making and replay analyzing to come, we quickly realized that the visual framework and the user interface of our previous release had to be fundamentally changed. Movie making tools such as After effects, and Premier Pro influenced the grid of Demoflex Ultimate in a positive way. We wanted to support every resolution from 4k down to 480p which only was possible by building a modular non-static user interface which scales accordingly. The Demoflex Ultimate user interface is split into three sections. The Replay section, the Edit section, and the Movie export; section. These sections can be scaled individually with-in the Demoflex UI which can now go full screen, snap to corners, and be scaled to whatever resolution the user chooses. Having this visual backbone will allow us to implement updates quickly which will be presented to you internally ( when available ) with a notification. So you will never have to go searching for build numbers. This also makes it easier for us as we know we have done everything to keep you on the latest build.

Another fundamental change is the introduction of the Movie export section. It was hard for us to decide what functionality really made sense to implement when handling large image sequences produced by Reflex, as there are sophisticated solutions to handling these such as the two applications mentioned above. What pushed us to implement this tool-set was our view, on what input files a movie maker would prefer when moving into their movie production application of choice.

Demoflex Ultimate is a collection of ideas and influence by prior movie making tools and the Reflex community in one environment. It was made to allow an increase of the games reach, by creating external media and enabling quick analysis of Reflex replays in an optimized environment. We are very excited to release Demoflex Ultimate and believe you will love it once you have become farmiliar with the extensive capabilities that are now available to you.
