How do you add animated .gif s to scratch?

How do you add animated .gif s to scratch? Check out the project Double Pendulum, that's a 200 costume sprite, but he said it's a gif, please help me!!

Wouldn't it still just be like importing a picture, but a sprite instead?

I|f you want to import a .gif file into scratch, you can drag it from a folder into the costumes section. Note that gifs with a transparent background won't work correctly.

Importing a sprite always should have to work...

Re: How do you add animated .gif s to scratch?

I finf the best method is resize the scratch window so that you can see scratch and the window with the gif in at the same time, then drag-n-drop the gif into the costumes section of an existing sprite.

Right click on it to save it. Open up the folder that it is in and drag it into Scratch.

Actually you don't have to save it first - instead you can drag it directly out of your webbrowser into Scratch (!)

Re: How do you add animated .gif s to scratch?

The RGB value 0,0,0 is used as transparent for scratch, so to make an animated gif with a transparent background, set the background color to pure black. (scratch's "black" actually has a blue value of 5)
