    I wonder how many times this question comes up...

    http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=11249

    For the general simfile forum:

    http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...splay.php?f=21

    Search is your friend. Enjoy, anyway.

      Open SM. Go to Edit songs > Make new steps > then edit it.

        yeahh, about that. heres what happens - *clicks create song on sm tools menu, window appears saying "failed to create directory 'song/my creations/': access is denied" hmmmmm, yesss. maybe because i created a file 'my creations' before it tried to do it atomaticly. maybe thats the default, and since i've already done it, it can't create a file in the same file 'songs/my creations' because its already been made... hmm, i'll change it to somthing else and see if it'll do it. hang on a sec.

        yep, that was the problem. hehe. good thing i thought of what i had done, or else i would have been pissed. xD so now how do i add a video file, so that it will play as i play the song?

        yeaahhh, okay, nvm, it dosen't work any more. i accedentally deleted the sim file, and now i try to make another go to sm tools menu again and to 'creat song' and *clicks create song on sm tools menu, window appears saying "failed to create directory 'song/my creations/': access is denied* happens again. idk why, i deleted the 'my creations' folder. it should be able to create it. jeez, wtf do i do. D:

          Kage, do this:

          1.) Create a new folder, name it what you want (preferably the song's title)
          2.) Place the music file of that song into the folder you just created.
          3.) Open Notepad.
          4.) Save a blank text file in the folder as a .sm (change to files of all type. So, if your song is Max 300, you would name this Max 300.sm.)
          5.) Open Stepmania. If you did this right, your song SHOULD show up in Edit Mode. This is a bit longer, but it's much less of a hassle, and when you start getting good at making steps, you'll use 3.95, where you have to do it this way anyway. If you need more help, I'll gladly make a picture guide for you.

                Videos do not play in SM unless they are in .avi format. Convert your video to be that format.

                    Open the video in your real player application, and then -re-save-as- it by altering the title from whatever it is now into .avi.

                    You do that by manually typing.

                      okay i did that, i even right clicked on the video file and went to proporties, and it told me that it is a AVI file. but when i put it into the song folder it didn't play during the song. creating the simfile is going good so far though, thats about it.

                          You might need to reload songs and courses.

                          You can find that under options in the menu screen.

                          If none of this works, you probably haven't set FADE BG to vid. Without that, of course your video won't play.

                              got the video to work. i'm having trouble getting my bg to the right dimensions. same goes for banner. i have the image, but i can't seem to crop them to the right amount of pixels. i get that i save it as <song name>-bg.png its just the pixels aren't correct, and every time i crop it or edit it, it won't go to the 640x480, and same for the banner. does anyone know of a program thats good to crop it to the right dimensions??
