<pclass="rvps10"><spanclass="rvts21">FCEUX main window can only display data of one frame of a movie at any given moment. Piano Roll can cover data for tens of frames at the same time. But average movie has thousands of frames. So TASer constantly needs to scroll the Piano Roll up and down or rewind emulator playback to get the data about needed frame or group of frames.</span></p>
<pclass="rvps10"><spanclass="rvts21">Throughout the documentation this is called "movie navigation". It takes major part of TASing, and Taseditor introduces many new ways of navigation, striving to make it as fast as possible. Depending on the situation some of them are better then others, so it's not recommended to stick to a single one.</span></p>
<pclass="rvps10"><spanclass="rvts21">Ideally, the navigation skills should move to muscle memory, allowing you to always appear in necessary place of the movie without interrupting the analysis of current task.</span></p>
