OK, lots of people are having troubles with reflections in Source Filmmaker. They appear as over-bloomed, green, or some other way that they shouldn't look like. People have suggested typing [I]mat_specular 0[/I]. However, that gets rid of reflections so all you have to do is:
1. Open the console with the ~ key.
2. Type in "buildcubemaps"
3. Exit SFM
4. Relaunch SFM and your reflections should work correctly.
Hope that this fixes all the videos with ugly reflections.
Ensure you actually type mat_specular 0 when building cubemaps, otherwise you end up with re-reflected errors.
Though I personally tried this method and it didn't seem to help at all.
This is now unneeded. They released a patch to every single person on steam and fixed the problem! :D

No, it still is broken for some maps.

It worked with me on the maps for my mod.

Did you even read the patch notes?
Use the FAQ thread for things like this next time.
FAQ should really be stickied IMO
The Source Filmmaker 0.9.5.7 release says:
- Fixed invalid cubemaps causing overbloom of specular in various maps
I know a perfect fix if it persists, typing in "mat_fastspecular 0" into the console (This turns off all Environment Maps without reloading textures)
