- Toggle performance tweaks: disabled. Minor FPS boost, but significant graphics degradation
- Sound
- Mute: enabled.

- Tools
- Configure encode...
- Video codec: FFmpeg video codec #1
- Video bitrate: 4000
- Audio codec: AAC (Advanced Audio Config)
- Audio bitrate: 128
- ffmpeg options
-c:v ffv1 -b:v 4000k -c:a aac -b:a 128k
- Start encode
- It's recommecded to launch released movie with started encode only as it affects game behavior. Run will be not finished without encoding enabled from the start!
- Slow motion
- One of the main tools for TAS development. Locks FPS on the required speed. For final rendering recommended to set normal speed
- Input
- Mouse support is optional. If you make TAS with gamepad inputs (as this one), disabling it will decrease number of recorded inputs
- Configure encode...
- Main available tools are:
- Main window -> General options -> Pause - Freezes game at any point of time
- Savestates - Shift + F1-F11 to create savestate, F1-F11 to load savestate. F12 to load Backtrack Savestate if you've moved to new area
- Movie -> Input editor... - Window with frame-by-frame inputs which can be fine-tuned and optimized for performing skips. Savestates are marked on the left
- Input -> Joystick inputs... - Window with controller inputs. Note that buttons are performed as checkboxes, so clicking a button fast is like
Pause -> check the box -> Unpause -> Pause -> uncheck the box -> Unpause
- From time to time it might be a good idea to check your progress by launching full run. Behavior can be changed from launching part of game (like performing hard skip) using savestate. In case of success you can save current movie or even save it to another file with Export Movie option
- If you want to add any honking not required for run, it's better to make it during TAS creation as honking in the same frame (and 5-10 frames around) with grabbing or turning might change goose position and affect following inputs. Be careful!
