Scratch is a tool to create interactive and non-interactive content. Interactive means that you can use the keyboard, the mouse, the microphone, etc to make things move or change. YouTube is about videos that are never interactive. For that reason Scratch has not put a lot of attention at making it easy to share Scratch projects as videos.

The good news is that you can create videos out of your Scratch projects to share on YouTube. It is just not as simple as sharing on this website.

Here are very general steps to create a video for YouTube out of a Scratch project.

1. Create your Scratch project
2. Install a screencast software on your computer. There are many, for example a a free one called Camstudio.
3. Start recording with the screencast software and click on the green flag in Scratch.
5. Save the video as avi, mov, mpeg or any other common video format.
4. Upload the video to YouTube.

i know, and you just said that you could make non-interactive videos on scratch. you can make very good videos with very good animation on scratch, so i think that Scratch should put a lot of attention at making it easy to share Scratch projects as videos.

See this example of a Scratch game on YouTube: http://www.scratch.mit.edu/ext/youtube/?v=KJGPbPz8tlo
as you can see, you cannot get interactivity, but maybe you're fine with it...

I know this topic is pretty old, has there been any change on exporting to a video file?

I'm going to be introducing Scratch to students at my son's elementary school, and I'd like them to animate a few things to be included in the school-wide weekly TV program - just titles and things, but it would be a cool way for them to show off their projects.  I'll use Wink or CamStudio if I need to, does anyone have opinions on which would work better for this application?  I would guess that the animations would be 10-15 seconds long.  The principal edits the show, so I'm not sure what format, but I have tools to convert from one format to another, so the output format isn't crucial.

Thanks,

People! I heard that Cam studio can record whatever is on your screen in flash so you can post it in youtube! Were saved!!! 

You download HyperCam(google it) and you use it to record.

Instructions

1) When you open HyperCam you should see a button that says "set region". Click it.

2) Click the top left corner of the preview screen and then move the mouse down to the bottom right corner of the preview screen and click it.

3) Make sure the hypercam window is not in front of the preview screen. if it is, Hypercam may record part of its own window and not the full preview screen.

4) Click record on the HyperCam window and then click the green flag.

5) When it is finished, click stop recording in the HyperCam window.

6) In the HyperCam window, click on "AVI File" and you should see a button seeing open output folder. Click it.

7) In the address bar at the top, there should be the file location details. Normally it should be C, Documents and Settings, (whatever your username is), My Documents. It should be in there.

8) When you know where it is on your computer, you can put it straight on YouTube.
