Pivot on scratch

Please move this if this doesn't qualify as all about scratch.
People have been asking how to put pivot animations on scratch. Here's how:
1. you make your animation
2. you save it AS A GIF and uncheck all of the optimizations
3. you drag that animation into an ALREADY EXISTING SPRITE (not background)
4. turn the background into a black screen (or some other color)
5. put the

<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<next costume>
<wait( delay )secs>

You're done! Remember that step 4 is only needed if you used the color black in your animations. Other colors show and you don't need to make a black background. Then you can add music and stuff. If you import this animation into scratch, you just need to make a black background for the background because all the stickmen are not black:

When put into scratch, some GIFs turn transparent... Anyone know why?

STEP 4 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP! WITHOUT IT, YOU GET A TRANSPARENT THINGYMAJIG!

You don't get it do you?

In pivot, the "black" color has the rgb values 0,0,0. Scratch uses that RGB value as transparent (the "black" in scratch has an B value of 5). Therefore, anything black in pivot will be turned transparent in scratch. Then you make the background the scratch black to fill in the transparency.

Some people just don't like reading -.-

Re: Pivot on scratch

Oh, forgive me for not knowing EVERYTHING about how scratch uses colors. Barely used the program 3 times before.
