==== TASbotting ====
When '[[TASBot|TASbotting]]', the player records their controller inputs as a tool-assisted run in an external device in order to then have this device reproduce the inputs on a real console.<ref name=":3" /> As with splicing, the inputs of individual segments can be combined and, as is usual for tool-assisted runs, inputs can be made frame by frame. As long as these inputs are authentic and seem realistic for a human being, such manipulations are much more difficult to detect in the resulting video product than splicing.<ref name=":3" /> If, on the other hand, a TAS is not outputted on the original hardware but, as usual, on emulators, it can sometimes be alleged from the resulting video that such auxiliary programs were used; additionally, some emulators never perfectly imitate the desired hardware, which can cause synchronization issues when replayed on a console.<ref name=":3" />
