I really need help with this please, when I load a savestate while recording a movie it always tells me "movie recording stopped", how can I make it record? it's really urgent I just made a score thought to be impossible in AWDS and want to shock the community with a vid edit: I settled for an AVI record, but I'd still like to know how to do this

1. Load the save state. 2. Press record. Hope that helps ^^

First of all, what you posted about and what the thread title is about are two different things, unless I'm confusing something. So I'll give answers to both. "How to record a movie from a save state?" --> It's not possible for now to my knowledge. But you can select a .dsm (save file) which the movie starts with. "when I load a savestate while recording a movie it always tells me "movie recording stopped", how can I make it record?" --> That shouldn't be. Do you use Read-only toggle? I'm imagining that you are loading a state that you just saved, while in read-only mode, then advance a frame. In that case the movie recording will stop. You need to use Read+write mode when you want to overwrite your progress and you need to use Read only when you want to rewatch a part of your progress (the loaded state must be from the current movie).

Excuse me, but how can I enable the Read+Write mode?

Usually by pressing Shift+8, if that doesn't toogle it, check the hotkeys, you could also change the keys to whatever you want
