I did a quick search and found nothing about this question. Is there any way to take an existing .fcm file (one that completes an entire game) and split it into more than one file that still plays? For example, could you take the SMB .fcm file and extract from it a short .fcm file that just shows world 8-4, played in the exact way that the whole movie played that level? I'm curious because this would be nice for WIPs, especially for long games. Viewers could watch later parts of the game without watching everything that came before it. I already know that you can start a new .fcm from anywhere in a game, but it would be really useful to take a short clip from a longer clip. Thanks for help in advance if anyone can offer it. Any information on SNES emulators would be great too, if you have it.

the only way I know is not any simple =( you play movie to the frame you need, pause, stop playback, create new movie from savestate, play one frame with whatever input you like, save movie, open it and first movie with any movie editor (Maximus's or mine or whichever else) and copypaste frames from original movie to cut one starting from frame where you saved.

Use the movie splicer in Maximus' TAS movie editor.

I suppose it will, how else would it be useful?

That's an interesting feature you're asking. Just save state and copy paste the remaining of the movie. Probably something simple to program in FCEUX.
