GBA TASer of 2010
It's based on whether the TAS of it would be different than what the published movies already showcase, so it's rather hard at times to find out unless you make a rough TAS of it first.

No? Submit the input file.

You don't have to do this. A TAS can have hard and softresets (even disc swaps on PS1) and still be one contiguous file. Whatever you're doing to segment the TAS is unnecessary, it should all be one file.

You can continue creating a TAS by playing the movie on an emulator in Read+Write mode (IE not Read-only), then loading a savestate. That will resume recording from that point, and you may continue. If you don't have a savestate during this movie which you'd like to continue from, then of course you first need to create one. Play the movie in Read only mode, so all you're doing is viewing it. Loading a state in this mode will simply jump the movie and start viewing at that point, rather than editing from that point. Use the existing savestates, or Pause+Frame Advance tools to get to the exact section you want, then create a savestate. Now load the movie in Read+write, and loading from this new savestate will enable you to continue working from that exact point as requested. Do that any time you have to stop working on your TAS, and continue it another time. The final product of a TAS needs to be just 1 long movie file, rather than independent sections.
