How do I create a GIF file using Scratch?

I don't know how to make a GIF using Scratch. I also do not know how to save only a costume and not a sprite.  hmm

Re: How do I create a GIF file using Scratch?

For saving ze costume: Just right click the costume and select 'Export Costume'.  smile

For ze GIF: You can't make a GIF, but you CAN make an animation like a GIF, using zis script:

Green Flag Clicked
Forever---
wait 0.1 seconds
next costume
------------.

I hope zis helped!  smile

Re: How do I create a GIF file using Scratch?

Export your costumes as described by Medic, then use a free program on the web (for exemple picasion.com) to convert your costumes into an animated gif file. Download your animated gif file back to your computer and then upload it to scratch.
Looking forward to see your new image ;-)

Re: How do I create a GIF file using Scratch?

first make a gif using gifninja or whatever. second click choose new sprite from file from where you saved the gif. then in costumes press choose new costume and use the gif as the frames!


however to make a gif on scratch you need lots of costumes, put when green flag clicked, wait 0.1 secs and next costumes and there!  smile

You let a spammer know how to post URLs  yikes

Anyway, in response to thread, you cant create a GIF in Scratch, but you can make a GIF with this software called GIMP or gifninja (you can Google it for more info). Or you can use Medic's suggestion:

Code:

<when flag clicked>
[forever]
<wait (0.1) secs>
<next costume>
[/forever]

To export your costume, go to the "costume" tab of the sprite, right click the costume and select "export costume" from the drop down menu.

Re: How do I create a GIF file using Scratch?

You can't make a gif file using the Scratch program, but you can make a sprite look like a gif using this code:

-when flag is clicked-
-forever-
-wait 0.1 or 0.2 secs-
-next costume-

Re: How do I create a GIF file using Scratch?

You can't, but sometimes I use this method:
- Make a background/sprite
- Use the snipping tool and save the file (Windows 7  tongue  )
- Do the above several times till' I'm satisfied
- Go to a gif generating site
- Done.

Or, if I misunderstood you and you're wondering how to put a gif IN scratch, go to a site like gifsoup and find one you like.


Sorry If i misunderstood what you're trying to asked, but otherwise I hope this helped!  smile
