Video/Picture blocks

This is technically a extension for an extension.

Hello!
I am here to request several blocks for the camera extension that would really help Scratch for games and OS's.


Also, some other ones I just thought of:

take video :: extension //this takes a video live
end video :: extension //this ends the live video
(live video data :: extension)//this updates it's value like video data but it updates it live.
(shorten video data :: extension) //tries to shorten the data of video. If it cannot, then it reports "ERROR"
(shorten photo data :: extension) //same as shorten video data but it shortens the photo data.
(shorten live video data :: extension) //same as shorten video data but it does it live

Supporters:
;-;

This would be semi-easy to implement, and I hope this does makes it!!

grammar is a beeg no no >:DDDDDD

I have too many questions.
  1. How would this be useful?
  2. Would it then take the video and save it to your computer?
  3. If 2 was a yes, would the user decide where it would be saved to?
  4. if 3 was a yes, this would completely ruin the flow of projects.
  5. if 3 was a no, then where would it be save to?
  6. Why does Scratch need this? I really don't think it does.
On top of that, a lot of the blocks don't make too much sense. Maybe it would make more sense if I could more easily understand the picture, but it's extremely blurry and I can only read it if I concentrate very hard. And then it doesn't make sense to me because I had to focus so much on reading it. You might want to up the quality.
And, to be honest, this simply sounds like a bad idea to me, sorry.

Unless you can convince me otherwise, that's a No Support from me.

Okay…

The photo is blurry because I couldn't use BBCode for the 3.0 blocks

1. For camera apps in OS's
2. no
5. This is useful just for the start. People may make projects containing these blocks in creative ways I might not have thought of.

That's the thing. Camera Apps in OS's are a tiny part of the website. I rarely even see OS's, and I don't make them, and while a Camera app for them would be nice for people who do, I'm not sure that's enough of the Scratch Community to warrant it's addition.

You're probably right, but I'd like to hear an example of a few creative ways before I support a suggestion.

No support, I don't really want scratch storing images off my webcam, without me knowing what will be done with them

aII toasters toast toast, but what happens when there are no longer toasters being produced? will their technology simply become obsolete, with humans moving onto bigger, better things? will toast become a distant memory, written in textbooks of the future as foods us simpler generations ate? who's to say! society is constantly moving, changing, evolving, ideas being built upon, improved upon, theories being proven or disproven. are we but a blip on the timeline? sure, our names may not be remembered, but that's not the point. you can make a change. you can make a difference. you can make the world better, even if you don't know yet. and the first step is to go for it. even if you are afraid of failure. going back to the example of toasters, do you know off the top of your head who invented them? no? have you used one? probably. so, even if you don't remember my name, if I was able to help awnser your question, that is enough. if I was able to help you, even in the slightest way, this could push you to continue with scratch and not give up after the program crashes, and maybe one day learn other programming languages and change the world. everything is a cause and effect reaction, new inventions lead to the technology of the future, and even as the generations of the past are slowly forgotten, their influence lives on to this day, affecting how the world eventually turned out and how it will be for generations to come.

and, without toasters, we wouldn't have toast.

This would be so cool, I've been trying for ages to make a live video, I think you may be able to use a cloud variable as a timer and make an animation live, but I'm not sure, so for the Scratch Team to add these blocks would make a big change to my projects, and I will be able to make YouTube in Scratch with live videos!

If its for putting your camera on and live, then no support. This could be used for inapropiate purposes.
