I remember opening BizHawk for the first time and then seeing TAStudio. I quickly learned how to play with it to create button presses in real time, etc. However, I had seen a video explaining how to TAS where he doesn't use it and does it all by himself. I just wanted to know which one is better to do.

There is no "better" option. Both methods are equally viable for creating a good TAS. Just use whichever method you like more, or are more accustomed with.

This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Yeah, after some testing I decided to go with the normal way for a while. TAStudio seems to be cool so I'm gonna test it later. Thanks for clarifying :)

TAStudio is basicly like the Photoshop of TASing, I guess. At first, seeing all the tools can be overwhelming. MS Paint (= recording it yourself) is simpler but drawing the same picture might take way longer or only be possible with detours. I never learned to use TAStudio. That might in part be because I heard people lost their work using it and other serious bugs. Those should be resolved by now though..
