Can't you just use something like online converter to convert files from mp4 to png?

You mean mp4 to gif?

Think! Is saying if you support a suggestion necessary? No! People can just tell by your constructive post after it. You have more freedom on your tone!
Forumers, especially new, may also get upset if you say “no support!!!” at them! They may take the whole post in a negative tone, and that makes them upset!
Instead, you can kindly say why their suggestion has cons. They will take it as “constructive criticism” and be happy. - dertermenter

I support! You can still convert the files to gif but it would be better if we could do it directly. There's already mp3 support so why not mp4 as well? Merry Christmas!

Bumping this topic to the front page.

I like this suggestion!
This could be great for cinema projects where you can watch movies, or cutscenes!
However, adding to this suggestion, maybe when MP4 files are imported, they should be compressed, and the sound could be a separate part of the MP4.
You know, like in the Sounds tab of the MP4.
Also, I didn't know 'Sandwich posted here a long time ago–

3 forum tips for experienced forumers (in no particular order):

If you are reporting a new forumer's topic to be closed, or moved to another forum, don't mention it, because then, the topic creator will think they will receive either an alert or a ban.
New forumers won't immediately know the rules or terminology of the forums. I have seen this happen hundreds of times (exaggeratedly), especially when experienced forumers (I won't name any) tell new forumers that they are "necroposting", which is when someone posts on an old and resolved topic (especially in the Questions about Scratch forum), causing said topic to be moved to the front page of that forum.

Using Scratchblocks as a writing style is not blockspam, unless it is irrelevant to the discussion. For example, this

ExampleScratcher1 wrote:
How do I make a smooth gliding animation?
when green flag clicked
repeat until <(my question) = [answered]>
ask [How do I make a smooth gliding animation?] and wait
end
say [Thank you!]

is not blockspam, but these

ExampleScratcher2 (first post) wrote:

when green flag clicked
move (58) steps
play sound [Stock Laughter Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
forever
play sound [Stock Screaming Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
switch backdrop to [internet v]
say [i broke the internet] for (2) secs
turn cw (15) degrees
go to [nearby restaurant v]
next costume
end

ExampleScratcher2 (second post) wrote:

when green flag clicked
repeat until <(out of dorito's) = [true]>

say [IM OUT OF DORITO'S!!!!!!!!! :(]
play sound [Scream2 v] until done
forever
turn cw (120) degrees
play sound [Scream2 v]
play sound [we have no dorito's sorry v]
end

are blockspam, and must be reported.

Although you can import a .gif, this could make it less annoying, especially if it is slightly longer. However, I believe there should be a limit to the video length- we don't want people importing the whole entirety of Shrek into Scratch with this.

No support. you can already do this. Convert videos to gifs (TONSSSSS of websites online) then upload them. Then do:

when green flag clicked
forever
next costume
end

I would be big in size, but uploading videos would be no different.

hi

RED-001-alt

It would take a lot of time and memory to decompress and decode the video and decode the audio, and the project would probably be hundreds of MB even for a simple video, and this would crash your computer.

Please don't remove the automatic browser/OS info after making a new Bugs and Glitches forum post, that information really helps a lot!
(unless you are reporting from a different device, then you should specify what device, OS, and browser you have)

The process of importing would be the same as importing gifs. The quality of it would be lowered

that script is too fast (changed it)
also gif doesn’t produce sounds
it stores images

That would be for every single video ever uploaded. Also, compressing a GIF is much easier than an MP4, and it might need a lot of server resources which Scratch may not have.

Also how would you interact with an MP4 in the editor? Would it be resizeable or anything?

No support, make it much easier to steal videos and music. Also makes it easier for kids to share videos of themselves when they might not know that’s a horrible idea, because all they have it do is record a video with the webcam instead of having to convert it to gif (something that they might not even know can be imported). Gif importing is useful in very specific situations but when you need it it’s very nice to have. But if you really need it just import the audio and video separately

Children can still take pictures of themselves and upload it regardless of if they can upload .mp4s I agree with OP as .gif quality is often quite low

This is not a downside. This proves that it can be implemented into scratch. As not all scratch users have access to turbowarp

Kumquats are tasty

Is that a rare thing?
