How does (motion) video sensing work?
I have seen people doing video motion sensing projects, they're cool. But how does it works actually?

go to extensions and click “video sensing”. You should get all the blocks you need to do it there.

The video motion blocks sense which direction most of the pixels in your camera are moving.
For example, something slowly moving to the right would be moving right in the camera.
The video motion in Scratch actually senses how fast this ‘thing’ is moving.
The usual motion is 30, so try using that number if you want to make something with it.
There is also video direction, which (sort of) checks which way the object is moving.
Some blocks you may need shown below:

Runs when video motion/direction is more than the number.
Turn on/off your webcam.
Used with conditional blocks (if, else, while)
Checks how loud it is (uses microphone)
Blend between the camera and the stage backdrop.

Hi! This topic is rather old - when you ask for help on an old thread, people often will only respond to the original post because they don't notice yours. if you need help, you're much better off creating a new thread. Be sure to explain the problem you're having! If you have a question about a post that was made here, you can always include a link to it in your new topic. Thanks!
