Description
Made for this tutorial (link ). I have seen the material floating around elsewhere, but made one myself anyways and am making it available for others.

This comes in handy, mind you. If not for perfect alignment (which doesn't really matter that much), but just as a reminder to do such.

How to install
Drop the folder "materials" into the folder at the following location:
Steam/steamapps/common/SourceFilmmaker/game/usermod

How to apply
1) While in SFM, be sure you are in the Clip Editor viewing mode.
2) Scroll down to where you can see the section listed as "Overlay".
3) Right-click where it says "Effects" and select "Add Clip to Track".
4) From the menu that pops up, select "Material Overlay Effect".
5) You will now see a new "track added to the Clip Editor in red. Drag both sides of this track so it takes up the entire video sequence.
6) Right-click the track and select "Show in Element Viewer".
7) In the Element Viewer, find where it says "material" and scroll to the far right. You will see a button with 3 dots (...). Click that button.
8) Search for "ruleofthirds" and the materials should pop up. Select the material and click "Open".
9) Your material is now applied.

As the material, as is, will actually show on your final video, be sure to hide it on final render. The checkbox to the left of the word "Effects" in the Clip Editor will hide the overlay without actually deleting it. Re-check the box to have it show again.

And if you want the picture shown, here you go (though I adjusted the one above to fit the lines a bit better):
