In general: - Load the movie - Turn "read+write"-mode on (toggle between "read + write"-mode and "read only"-mode with Shift+8 - Load a savestate at the spot you want to continue recording When doing this for the first time, it's probably better to make a backup of your movie first, so that you won't lose your movie if you actually record from a wrong savestate.

When you "Stop movie" the movie is saved. Make a backup of the file just in case. When you go in "Read-only" mode you can make savestates wherever you want to record from. (Savestates previously made during "Write" mode are also valid. If you load a savestate that is during the movie while in "Write" mode, you can begin recording again from the point in that savestate. If you "Stop movie" again, whatever you just did is recorded and everything else is lost. Backups are very important when you are just getting started. Please use a single thread for all of your "getting started" questions, multiple threads only clutters the forum.
