How do you upload Pivot projects to Scratch? Help needed!

I have a really good Pivot project with flips and war and stuff.  Is there a faster way to upload it than doing it frame by frame?  Help please!

You can only upload scratch projects to scratch unless you take each frame and put it in scratch and do it frame by frame that way.

I've never used Pivot, but is it possible to save the file as an animated GIF? You could then import the GIF into Scratch by creating a sprite with one costume (it doesn't matter what the costume is), then importing the GIF as a costume, which imports all the frames individually. Then, delete the sprites original costume, add your scripts, and presto! The animation is in Scratch ^^

This is definitely the easiest way to import any kind of animation into Scratch.

There is an easy way! When you've finished your pivot, save it as a GIF! Then, import it as a sprite, into scratch, and it's basically an animated picture! Done!

i try that but the pictures come without backrounds and you can't see the characters.
