With this I mean that how do I continue a TAS the day after I started doing it? Because you can't do a serious run in a day, since you have a life and you need some rest after some hard work.
How do I do this and how do I mix all of my WIPS in one movie?
P.S. If theres already a thread about this, can someone please put a link of it? Thanks...
Start from where one of your videos starts from power on and either hex edit or text edit the movie files together into one file. I always start one file and just keep using that same file to continue and just keep making progress. If you make a mistake early on, your movie file then becomes a reference video to take inputs from and improve upon.
make a savestate at the end of your movie. Close emulator.
Open the emulator, open the game, open the movie.
Change to Read+Write mode and load the savestate.
Remember to make backups of your movie files.

The OP was asking about using savestates.

I don't see the word savestate in his original post. Either way all above answers are correct in some way.

This is the correct answer.
Note: "at the end of your movie" can be more precisely stated as "the frame from which you want to resume", which may not necessarily be your last frame.

It doesn't mean he never asked for savestates, just because he didn't wrote it. If he would wrote something about savestates he'd already answered a part his question.
Hex editing movie files together should be avoided whenever possible.
