Not sure if it makes a difference, but I'm doing it on BizHawk. Whatever the newest version at the time of me posting this is, because I just started yesterday. Anyway, I recorded a movie, and stopped at a certain point in the game (Deku Tree if you must know) and want to know how to reload this TAS later in time to continue it. And the first time I tried it it desynced. (it was fine later) Any way to recover that movie when it desynced?

TAS of 2017 First edition TAS of 2017 PSX TAS of 2017
Load a movie in Read+Write mode (uncheck the read only box in the Play Movie dialog) and load a savestate. You will resume recording from the savestate. Normally, you can just load the state from your previous play session and go right back to where you left off. Alternatively, just play the movie to the point where you want to resume and save and load a save state to get back to TASing. There's also a hotkey to switch between Read-Only and Read+Write mode (Q by default, IIRC). If your run desyncs, there may not be much that you can do other than redoing the input from where it desynced. Check Wiki: DesyncHelpTAS for more information.

Thanks a whole lot man. I'm just gonna go work on my TAS now thanks man. If you want, I can credit you when I put the video up UPDATE: So, I redid the TAS, and I ended where Saria is talking to Link at the start of the game. Then, I pressed "Stop movie", "play movie", played it in Read+Write, kept playing, did a savestate, stopped and replayed movie again... and I'm still stuck on Saria as if nothing happened. nobody told me tasing would be this teenager-groan inducing
