When the SFM exports your movie, its default is to render at 720p.  This means that your movie will be 720 pixels high by 1280 pixels wide, which is a good resolution for most movies made with the SFM.  If for some reason you want your movie to have a higher resolution, you can instead render at 1080p, which means a movie that is 1080 pixels high by 1920 pixels wide.
#Redirect [[SFM/Rendering at Higher Resolutions]]
 
If you want to render at 1080p, you must set the appropriate command-line startup option before you launch the SFM.
 
{{Note|Rendering at 1080p will take longer than rendering at 720p.}}
 
'''To render at 1080p:'''
 
# Quit the SFM if it's open.
# In Steam, right-click '''Source Filmmaker''', click '''Properties''', click the '''SET LAUNCH OPTIONS''' button, and add '''sfm_resolution 1080''' to your command-line startup options.
# Launch the SFM.
 
You can also use this command-line switch in a command prompt or in a desktop shortcut.
 
If you want to change back to the default render setting of 720p, just remove '''sfm_resolution 1080''' from your launch options.
