You can't, the two things are in direct conflict, and are each trying to edit the movie file. One is you editing the very end, and seeing what each input produces. The other is editing the whole grid, but without knowing what the effects. How would you expect them to cooperate? Imagine if you changed the start in the TASeditor, how would the emulator cope? It would logically have to desync itself, but it would have no idea where it should be with those new instructions. How could it magically jump to the new outcome? At best, it'd have to run the entire movie again from the start, but if you're prepared to do that then what's the difference to just doing one a time anyway? Stop movie record/playback on emulator, edit it on TASeditor, then play it back again on emulator to see if it's any better. But I doubt you can somehow edit both at the same time.
