Re: Video as background

You can't. But there are clever ways to work around. If the video is a .gif file, just import it as a costume and you should get each frame as a separate costume. Otherwise, you'll have to take screenshots (Mac cmd-shift-4) of each frame you want. Then add the script:

when gf clicked
forever
next costume

Re: Video as background

Okay thank you. Maybe they should add it as a feature.

Re: Video as background

Scratch is not designed to play video files.
If you have a GIF animation you can try importing it as a sprite though.
