You read the title... Let's say I want to put something new right in the middle of a TAS; shouldn't I be able to just copy the code from where I want to edit until the end, TAS what I want and then paste the code I copied right after it? Let me worry about desyncing problems. Right now I just want to edit the file to avoid a loss of many hours work

I guess so. You can try with the TAS movie editor: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tas-editor/ I've tried to edit N64 movies with it, but didn't succeed, probably because the games I tried to edit had variable framerate, like this SFR TAS: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10303

thanks, I'll try that out. I need to edit a OoT glitchfest-run I'm doing because I didn't plan it out correctly from the start. I guess I learned my lesson :p

There's something wrong here... When I edit the file, errors creep in before the edit. Like, if I spliced a movie, it'll get desynced even before the splice comes into effect. Maybe you could give a description on how to merge two files together or replace? (There's "paste after" and "paste before", but no "replace", or simply "delete")

Yeah, I remember stuff like that happening too, I think it's because most N64 have variable framerate, and the editor assumes it's 60 or 50 FPS all the time, or maybe there are other reasons the frame count in the program is inaccurate for N64 movies.

You can use the delete button on your keyboard.
