WARNING, HUGE TL;DR AHEAD

On TTA, what we know:

TTA has access to the audio from some of the early entries which J stated had the audio stripped, footage from the period where Marble Hornets the Film was being shot that may not have been taken by Alex (the clip of J at the car), footage shot during the duration of season one (such as events at Brian's house), and footage from the period between season one and season two (such as the shot of J sleeping in the back of the car), and still images of (at least) Brian and Alex.

It is likely that s/he knows the locations and activities of J and Timasky during season one. If s/he sent J the tape in entry 26, then s/he also knew where Alex was at that point and had access to that footage.

S/he also appears to know J's YT password.

TTA has a computer, internet access, and video editing software. S/he is skilled enough to make some rather complex effects.

S/he knows binary, hex, and morse code.

TTA seems to try avoid direct involvement in the events of the series (not that this is a bad idea). S/he is more interested in J than any other member of the cast, arguably including Slendy himself. TTA's attitude toward J has become more and more antagonistic as the series has progressed.

TTA knew that J was filming himself all the time before J confessed to it. This suggests that s/he either had access to J's house and was already going there at that point (and was either Masky or very good at avoiding cameras), or was gathering information from Masky in some form. This is actually pretty interesting because if either of those things are true TTA could easily have contacted J privately rather than posting publicly available youtube videos.

J has no reason to lie about the audio being stripped from those early entries so it seems unlikely that he'd have those. There are several clips that feature J and were shot by hand that TTA uses, which J could not have filmed himself and that it does not seem likely that he would have access to. J never displays the same editing ability that TTA does. None of his work would require much more than Windows Movie Maker. It's possible that he's a wiz at video editing but we've never seem that from him. If J is TTA then he isn't doing it consciously and he has access to scores of information that he obviously doesn't the rest of the time.

Alex gave the tapes from the filming of Marble Hornets to J and seemingly attempted to forget everything that happened during that period and live a normal life. His aversion to cameras shown in entry 26 would suggest that he just wouldn't have done some of the filming TTA did. If we assume that Hoody is TTA then it strains credibility to say that TTA is Alex unless you assume that serious teleport hacks were involved. If Alex is TTA he would also need other sources of information and it would also go against many of the things we know about him, and if Alex=TTA=Hoody then I call shenanigans.

Timasky is obviously very interested in J just as TTA is, and in fact during season one we all assumed that they were the same person. He knows many of the things that TTA would during season one. However, his injury early in the events between seasons one and two would probably exclude him from filming J sleeping in his car and being Hoody. It's still possible that he is TTA, but he would have to be working with someone else for what we've seen in season two.

Brian, Seth, Jessica, and Amy are only as strong candidates as they are because we don't know anything about what they were doing or their motivations, so there's not as much we can say to rule them out. Amy and Jessica were not involved in the student film. Amy acts as if she has no knowledge of the Operator at all when she encounters him in 26 as well. Jessica has some connection to Slendy but it doesn't seem that she was involved early enough. We don't really know much about Brian or Seth at all. Of the two, though, Brian was more involved in the film, and a lot of things took place at his house. He's probably the strongest candidate in the group. However, I'm not even sure we know that he's still alive.

In my mind, I think we can conclude TTA either is gathering information and resources from others or is actually multiple people. Given this, I think Masky is still a strong candidate, especially during season one. The alterations in style and tone might represent others joining our ark-seeking group. I can see Alex and Jessica as plausible, but only after the events in entry 26. Brian and/or Seth may well have been involved from the beginning. I do think we can rule out J and the Operator.

I have like 3 main ideas floating around in my head.

1. TTA is Brian: He was the lead role in the Marble Hornets film project. It seems like in #17 Brian fled from the set because he somehow knew the Operator was in their presence while the others didn't, which essentially gives him a type of specialness. Also, in the TTA video Addition, his name is drug out much more than Alex's (I don't know, I thought that was like his way of saying "I'm Brian!")

2. TTA is Alex: Would explain enttry #37, in the sense that it's about Alex and is very TTA esque.. along with the select TTA vids that contain original footage from MH production (as in Advocate). Also, during the first few seconds of Warning, it reads "The following are raw footage excerpts from Alex Kralie" (I don't know, I thought that was like his way of saying "I'm Alex!!")

3. TTA is both.

4. TTA is the Operator..sort of: I'm not joking. But I know what you're thinking "Slenderman has socks for hands, how could it use a keyboard, let alone upload a YouTube video? How are it's skills at editing so advanced?". Try this: He gets Alex, Brian, Tim, any one of it's minions, to do the deed that it is incapable of doing itself.

I think the main reason I believe Brian to be TTA is during most of the TTA videos it is very negative towards Alex and Timasky, not only that but it's important to note that in the "Advocate" video it's frozen on Brian's face.

TTA is more than one person, or to be more exact at least two people have access to the 'TTA' account. I had a post examining the evidence for this conclusion somewhere around here...

But for now, I agree that Hoody/TTA is Brian, for various reasons. One of these was actually brought up in a recent thread in which it was pointed out that someone must have known about The Operator before Alex went on his Wild and Crazy Basement Adventure and then skipped town, leaving Jay with some tapes in his closet. To reiterate, TTA must already have been in existence to some extent during the original three month filming period. Entry #13/Exit prove that this is so.

Now, unfortunately, not knowing the exact chronology of this early footage, we can only surmise that this is before Alex became completely obsessed with The Operator, and possibly around the time of Entry #20. But even at this point, our beloved future Masky was only coughing and irritable, not completely insane. Sarah was doing whatever cute girls in little shorts do when not hanging out with a bunch of dudes, Seth was manning the camera, Jay was following Alex around (I sense a pattern in their relationship), and Brian was...

Brian was eternally 'getting snacks or something', and no one seemed quite sure where he was, even in his own house. In fact, the last time we see Brian is in Entry #12, the very first time the rest of the MH crew have direct contact with The Operator. This leaves Brian and Sarah as the only unaccounted-for members of the crew at the (presumed) time of Entry #13/Exit, but Brian is unique in being the only one of the pair whose absence is continuously pointed out to the audience in a conspicuous manner. It only makes sense to conclude that Brian must make up at least one part of TTA.
