Hello, first off I am pretty new to the TAS Scene or anything like that but I had some questions regarding it: How do I basically save the state my TAS is at (since I can't edit it once the movie is made(?)) Because I am currently trying out different games but I havent really found out yet on how I could save my progress so its able for me to continue on it in like the same video file. These are my only real questions as this kinda made me wonder maybe im just too stupid to find. I am using Bizhawk 1.4.4

http://tasvideos.org/TasingGuide/BasicTools.html Also the version of Bizhawk you're using is a tad outdated. I would recommend updating it to 1.11.4, the current version. http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=424503#424503
effort on the first draft means less effort on any draft thereafter - some loser

http://tasvideos.org/TasingGuide/BasicTools.html Shift + F(1-10) will make a savestate, which you can then load by pressing the same key (for example, a savestate done on F1 will be loaded with F1). You can edit a movie by toggling Read-Only to Read+Write in your movie (can be assigned to an hotkey.) To stop a movie, right-click then click Stop movie. (On another note, the version of BizHawk you're using seems very old. You might want to download the latest version.)

Hey there and welcome to the site. After hitting "Record new Movie" and recording your TAS, you can simply close the emulator and the movie will save. You can continue from where you left off by playing back the movie in Read+Write mode (in Bizhawk, uncheck the Read-only box in the Play Movie dialog) and loading your last save state. (Alternatively, you can play back the movie to where you want to continue and save and load a state at that point. This also allows you to resume TASing) I hope this helped, good luck. By the way, BizHawk 1.4.4 is -really- old, why not update?
