Hey ! I try to learn how to tas but I have a stupid question (I think this is impossible but I will try). I want to improve something at the start of my tas (a few frames) but I don't have any save states for this moment. Is there something to edit a part of the tas or does I need to restart all my tas ? Thanks you :)

You can play movie from beginning and then made a save state at any moment, but when you load that save state you will loose every input after that save state. However, you can use TAS studio to edit input completely free. For example changing inputs only at certain frames. Also you can even edit movie file with notepad (at least you can in FCEUX) edit: also, if you edit some input at the beginning it can affect RNG or something and cause desync.

You can toggle your movie to Read-only to avoid losing your input after loading your save state.

@Koh1fds I saw the TasStudio but as what I understand It's a way to do a Tas only by putting what input we want at a precise frame. Can I put a Save State with the tasstudio and continue my tas using the common method ? (This can be usefull because I loose all the time my tases because I missclick the save button x)

If you just need a save state at some point in your tas - just play your tas from beginning and than made a save state at any point you need. But this doesn't allow you to change only that part in the beginning. If you load that save state to edit movie you will loose everything after that save. If you want to edit only that part at the beginning you pretty much have to use tas studio. You can edit movie a little bit with tas studio and then go to "normal stuff" edit: maybe this will help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z04_gsOI4RU

Thanks for the video, this is helpful As what I see, when you use tasstudio, this create a new .tasproj file: Are the two file working together ? (I don't know how to say that with my shitty english). Because I don't want to set all my input with tas studio, I only want to change a few inputs Thanks.

You can use .tasproj file as "normal" movie or you can go in tas studio file -> export to .bk2 to get "normal" movie file after changes you made.
