You can give all the tools in the world, but some people will still not be interested in TASes. To me, it sounds like the most boring waste of time of making a computer play something for you than just playing it yourself. There are programs readily available for my Super Nintendo emulator that will make the game play itself, but I'd rather play it myself.

Likewise, there are art programs everywhere, and yet not everyone is an artist, which is already an extremely broad subject on its own. Every modern computer comes with a word processor, but only a few are authors. Simply providing the tools isn't enough. You need to somehow convince everyone to do your very silly hobby, and all I can say is, good luck.

The Scratch team should call most TASvideos members to convince scratchers that TAS is a cool thing

TAS can be cool, doesn't mean it isn't useless and unnecessary.

This can sometimes be useful or nesscary if nobody can beat a kaizo game, then a TAS can step up and do it.

“So we noticed you make tas videos”
“yeah”
“and we were were wondering if you could help promote–”
“go away”

didn't think of that, other ways to convince scratchers to use the TAS Editor?

“What have you accomplished this X?”
"Oh, I beat this really hard game!“
”Um, good for you, I gues-“
”Well not beat it myself, I made a computer beat it for me!“
”Oka-“
”Yeah, someone made a game impossible for a human to beat, so I stepped in!"

TAS is not a computer playing itself, People still create TAS'es.

So, you can code your own TAS the way Scratch is right now, right?
A TAS Editor would let you code a TAS in Scratch, right?

So either way, you can make a TAS.
