Hello! I'd like to report a bug in scratch: When I upload a GIF via the costumes section, (uploading the GIF via the sprites section doesn't work for me for whatever reason) the costumes get mixed up:

For example, the 4th costume might switch with the 6th, and the 7th might switch with the first.

In other words, it's not getting the order of the frames correctly.

Is there a fix for this? Or will scratch have to upload gifs another way…

I do not know of a solution to prevent it from happening, but it should be fairly easy to put the costumes back in order. It may also be something to do with what site you got the GIF from, and where is is currently saved. I find using makeagif.com and saving it iCloud Drive(Or whatever that dreive that uploads to the cloud is called).

The GIF file is fine. I already checked.

Hi, from where you got it?
If it is in a web, could you give me a direct link to the GIF?

No, I created the gif myself. It has a little over 1300 frames. I did compress it, but that didn't seem to fix anything.

Bump! This does seem to be happening for me also - but only on Scratch Desktop, and only when I import the GIF into an existing sprite. When I import the GIF into a new sprite, all frames are in the correct order.

The problem is that if the gif has too many images, importing it into a new sprite will (in my case) never load…

Maybe you need a better device(more RAM memory), able to manage lots of data. It happens to me too.

yea same happing to me

Bumping this because of a new potential workaround that I never thought of before:

When you import a gif (e.g funny-gif), all the frames come out as funny-gif, then funny-gif2, then funny-gif3 etc. Even if they are out of order, you can play the sequence in order by requesting the exact costume name rather than using “next costume”, like this:

switch costume to [funny-gif v]
set [frame v] to [1]
repeat (length of gif:: #969696) 
wait (0) secs
change [frame v] by (1)
switch costume to (join [funny-gif] (frame)) 
end

Now the gif should be playing with every frame in the correct part of the sequence.

This works, thanks!

Please do not blockspam.

When I insert GIFS, only one frame shows. I think that it's a bug in scratch 3.0.

same, this makes me making projects with animations much harder (I have to fix ever single frames!)

Flowerman, bumping; this is a playful, innovative way to solve this!!!!

is this part of a gif not working properly? or is it a code to make it less laggy ?

This has been happening to me as long as i've been a scratcher, solution? Import as sprite.
