I've seen tons of people with animations as their profile picture. The only way I know how is with a styks file exported as a gif. But, that's just stick men. There is a scratch projects that I have and I wan't it to be my profile picture.

when gf clicked
forever
switch to costume [costume v]
repeat [25]
wait [0.01] secs
next costume
end
wait [0.01] secs
switch to costume [costume# v]

That's the script, is it possible to make that into my profile picture?
Or do you use something other than a Scratch project to make your profile picture an animation?

Thanks,

You can't have a Scratch project as your profile picture.

So how do people have animations as their picture?

The animation is a GIF. If you really want an animation made in Scratch to be your profile picture, I guess you could record it using a screen recorder such as CamStudio, and then convert the AVI file to a GIF, though that would take bloody ages, especially as you'd have to take out the unwanted frames that you'd unavoidably get by using a screen recorder. Most video to GIF converters reduce the quality and frame rate significantly as well.

No problem.

Well, you could painstakingly export every single costume onto your computer, and then make the GIF in GIMP. ._.

Oh yeah, I didn't think of that ._.

I guess that'd be easier than recording it, converting it to a GIF, and then removing the unwanted frames XD
