You cannot add videos in projects. However, you can link in Notes or Credits.

Well, if you had the right tools, you could take all of the frames (a frame is one of MANY pictures, which together cycle very fast to make a video), put all the frames into a sprite, with each costume in the sprite being a different frame (search up costumes if you don't know what they are), and putting in this code:

when green flag clicked
switch costume to [(name of first frame)]
repeat (number of frames)
next costume
wait ((1) / (fps)) secs
end
(First time using scratchblocks, sorry if i messed the code up)

Replace the variable “name of first frame” with the name of the costume that has the first frame, the “number of frames” variable to the number of frames you have, and the variable “fps” to the amount of frames you want to play each second. (If you don't know what variables are, they're basically a thing that can store a piece of data, such as a word or number. In scratch they are colored orange, but I'm just putting up variables to tell what you need to put in each of them, and they are not really needed in this piece of code.)

Still, this is a lot of work, and I don't really expect the average beginner programmer to understand this, let alone actually do it, so you can just ignore this if you don't understand.

Edit: Apparently the variable “name of first frame” is not showing up correctly and I have no idea how to fix it, so just do what I said for it.

I will simplify the above response:

1. Convert video to gif

2. Split gif to images

3. Upload images

4. Cycle

Note: You cannot exceed 10mb in a Scratch project so videos aren't advisable.
