how to upload a video to a sprites costume? i used to be able to do it and then it added all the frames as costumes but now it doesnt work

You can't. You can upload a GIF file (if it's not too big) and put this code in:

when green flag clicked
switch costume to [shrek1 v] // first costume of GIF file
forever
wait (0.1) secs // test if the wait goes well
next costume
end

EDIT: I might be wrong, but see if the MP4 file is too big.

wait 0.1 seconds is bad you should put wait () that makes it go every frame

@Socialix: You are correct that you can't import MP4 files into Scratch.

@teije9: If you're more technically inclined, I have a much better way of putting videos in a project. Let me know if you want to know more - alternatively, I can do it for you.

I do not want to advertise, but I have a rickroll in my platformer gamehere


It has a gif image of Rick and also the audio. Feel free to backpack and use it but with credit.

You should put

wait (0) secs

OK.

The process involves converting the video into a series of images by using a command-line program called ffmpeg, an extremely versatile video encoder/decoder/remuxer/processor that supports about 2 billion different formats*. Then, I import the images into Scratch and use a simple loop to play them.

While this provides much better quality and much more control than a GIF, it does still come with a catch: due to Scratch's horrendous memory management, your videos can't be too long, or you will run out of memory - for full resolution and framerate, this is about 15 seconds (480x360, 30 fps), although you can get longer videos with lower resolutions or framerates.

Would you still like to know more? Alternatively, would you like me to help you put a video in your project?

*Exaggeration for comic effect, but no joke, I think the number of formats it supports is somewhere around 300.
