I've tried to save two replays. One of me airblasting an rocketjumping solly's attack and hitting him before he lands, one of a excellent YER chainstab. Both have failed to record. The first one recorded the first 18 seconds of my life and unexpectedly cut off, one just said "recording failed" and displayed with a big error thing in my replay menu. Different replay enabled servers.

Buggy update or buggiest update? Or am I doing it wrong?

Only certain servers have the replay feature installed currently, just look for a server with a film icon and you should be set.

Alot of servers didnt seem to have it installed correctly (or something similar, icon was there, but it wouldnt work/crashed when i hit f6) earlier on, found a few that work just now though

They were both on different servers with the filmstrip dealy, and both failed, for apparently different reasons. And then, as though rubbing salt in the wound, I try again just to see if it will work on a life where I do nothing particularly cool and it's fine. I am displeased.

Well, good to know it's not just me then.

does the dwarf fortress server have the reply enabled?  If so anyone up for making a movie

Everybody post your videos.

Finally got a half-interesting replay to record, and I played around with the editor a bit. The resulting film, in which a scout makes a futile and likely accidental gambit to save his heavy.

FUN FACT:
Apparent arrows don't show up, first-person weapons glitch in and out, and ragdolls fall differently every time you replay/save/whatever.

Replays would be fun if they weren't so frustrating.

That would've been cool if you replayed that scout being hit in slow mo a few times from several angles. The fail isn't really adding anything, remove that.
I haven't tried the replay stuff, is that even possible, to get different angles?

Yup, you have a free camera mode, which you can use to see anything you want from any angle. Also, you can see everything from any player's eyes on the server. It's nice to be able to see if you're moving as annoyingly as most Scouts seem to.

Yes you can make the movie using any 1st person view, 3rd person, or free view cam. 

I did some dustbowl 2v1 and completely dominated them on the 4th point.

It's a good clip, but hard to make out that the Scout actually blocked the arrow. Probably could've been filmed from a better angle, but I still enjoyed it.

Also a nice video. You really whooped those guys.

I demand we start a view spam club so we can all win

I've decided to start a series of shorts called How To (Not) Play TF2, in which I show of my greatest attempts at both ends of the win/lose spectrum.

The first one is me getting Backsniped on 2fort.

Can you do slow-mo, or piece together the same hit from different angles without using another video editor? As far as I could figure, the replay can be from any camera angle, but has to be in real time.

It's a good clip, but hard to make out that the Scout actually blocked the arrow.

Would have been easier to show if you could see the crosshairs in first-person lining up the headshot. Or the arrow, for that matter :/

Anyway, it was just a mildly amusing WTF-did-I-just-shoot moment. I'll wait until I get a cooler replay to play with it some more.

I agree with this sentiment.

you need a shot of you getting sniped, I had to maximize it and squint to see what happened.

[Satarus]

Yes, it seems like you can only get one uncut take at normal speed.  You can only switch the camera angle and nothing else.  However it seems pretty easy to export into a format that allows a more robust video editor to take it from there.

[Metalax]

I suspect that they will eventually add in the ability to chain up a series of takes when you compile them into a movie, which would allow for a fair bit more flexability.
