TAS of 2017 First edition TAS of 2017 PSX TAS of 2017
If I've got a finished run (let's say, Super Mario World for example) and just want to change one level because there is a skip or something I've overlooked or I played sloppily there, how do I do that while keeping the rest of the run?

It's unlikely you will be able to make a modification in the middle of the run while keeping the rest working. It's very likely that the rest of the run from that point forward will desync. (There might be limited exceptions to this.) Usually the only way to do this is to redo the entire run from that modification point forward. I think there are a few cases where small modifications are possible without causing desyncs. I believe a hex editor is often used to do such modifications directly to the movie record file.

What Warp said, but I suggest you try the movie splicer feature in TAS movie editor rather than a hex editor, and if that doesn't work, you pretty much have to redo the movie from that point.
