I started working on making a naked run of Super C where I never miss a shot earlier. I've watched this site alot but never tried to participate in the past. I'm wondering how I can go back and continue a movie from the point where I stopped recording the last movie, or how to splice stuff together. A noob how to sticky would be great if anybody wants to bother.

hmmm i dont get what you want to do, you can only continue movies by playing a movie, saving a state just before it ends and then loading that state (before the movie stops playback). unless you know hex-editing you can't "paste" movies together... here is how i'm recording adventure island on fceu: 1 - load the game 2 - then "file" - "record movie" (record from reset, choose a proper filename) OR: 3 - if you want to continue recording (usually to continue the work in progress by doing the later levels), go to "file" - "replay movie" and choose the file you recorded. Watch the movie to the point you want to continue recording, slow the speed down and save a state. i use state #9. (hit "9" and save). and then load the state hint / must do:have your file manager open on the folder where the movie file is, and constantly make a copy of the movie file (i.e. everytime you finish recording a level) so that if you load at a wrong point you won't lose all the work you did after that point, it's a VERY common problem, so it's a good thing to get used to doing backups. 4 - save state "9" at the start of the level, use states from 1-6 to play the game, and finish a level. 5 - make a backup of the file, close the movie, open the movie again, but mark the "read only" option. now load the state "9" you saved at the start of the level and check if the level was played correctly. in case it was, save state "9" at the start of the next level. 6 - use the frame count feature to know exactly what is faster to do. (map hotkeys to your liking) 7 - put the WIP on the proper forum and discuss the game with people! but do some searching because the game might have been tried already, so you can maybe find something about it on the forums. and, most important, good luck and have patience! :)
