I need some help uploading videos and using urls to videos

Best regards, I am creating a program in Snap but I have not been able to get some YouTube videos to work and have them incorporated into said program or, failing that, put the url of the video and within it the video can be seen without it taking me out. of the program, please can you help me with this topic.

Welcome here Maria! We hope you have a great time. I'll help you out.

If you're talking about the forum...

You're a new user, and you have to be trusted well into this community to be able to post images or links. You can still write them using 3 backticks like this:
```
link
```

link

But I wouldn't really consider it to be the best thing to do, since this could still land you in some trouble if you upload and send inappropriate content.

From what is sounds like, you're trying to play a video in a snap project. Unfortunately, this is impossible*, and the url block will not help at all. You're best bet is to try and recreate the video in snap. If it's just a simple animation, it'll be easier to recreate.

It's technically possible using javascript, and adding an iframe element on top of the stage, but that is not a good solution, because it'll look very out of place, and won't be easy to do. It's basically just impractical.

or you could figure out a way to decode the video and then draw it on the stage.

Thank you very much, look, it is an explanation that must be given in the context of the program that is being carried out, but that video is by a person, how can I do this, what do you suggest?, or if it is possible, some programming with the blocks that I take to that video but it doesn't leave me out of the program but rather it can return me within the program.

I need to find an urgent solution for this issue. Please can you give me an image of the programming so I can test it.

I would appreciate it infinitely,

Additionally, if you have a video that explains how the different scenes are joined together, I would also appreciate it. In reality, there are not many videos explaining topics about this tool.

Well, what video is it? What is the project you want it in? I don't know how to help without this info.

I am doing the project from my computer, I have not published it, so that you can support me do you need me to publish it?

You only need to share the project for the URL, and publishing (I think?) to... publicize it.

Well, it would be nice if you could share it, then send the link.

If you share a project, anyone with the link can view it, but it can't be discovered on the community site.

If you publish a project (after you share it), it becomes discoverable on the community site.

I'm not wrong after all. :slight_smile:

The thing is that for now I don't want to publish it, it is a private project, but the specific doubts are:

  1. I have 3 scenarios, I have not yet been able to link them, so that it is automatic when the flag starts.

In the first scene, children playing in a park.

In the second scene the children enter the school.

In the third scene there should be a video of the school director welcoming, but that video is a real person, welcoming the children and parents.

The question as one of the 3 scenarios and how I linked that video, I tried to convert it to a gif and upload it to sanp! but it only takes 1 image, I don't know if I should do anything else and how many minutes the video should be.

Ah, I see what you're doing now. Due to snap's limitations, you can't play a video in a project, however you can get some frames from the video, and just play the audio over the images switching (in order at a low frame rate).

One thing that might help, I have created a program to convert a video into a scratch project (a while ago, so it's not very good, but it does get the job done). You could use that, then convert it to a snap project using snapinator, then import it as a scene into your project (although I can't say that the file size will be small enough to be able to save to the snap cloud).

I understand, because initially I started in scratch but it is like more limited than snap and I switched to this and I also see limitations, rays...

And another question on Snap, is there any option so that the font in the actors' messages is the size I want?

You can, in fact do that with the (EDC) Fancy Text library. It has some blocks that let you make sprites say (and think) with larger font sizes.

Thank you, I will review the materials that you shared with me, I will review them, thank you very much, if I have any other concerns I can contact you again Batman, you are very kind

hello ego, I have a question, how do I have more cloud storage and be able to publish an application that I made in Snap, but it limits me when I am going to save it in the cloud to publish it,
please help me.

Unfortunately, Snap! only allows you to store projects in the cloud that are less than 10 Megabytes. Although this is annoying in some circumstances that limit is generally difficult to reach unless you have large amounts of costumes or audios in your projects, especially when they are uncompressed and stored in variables. Do you have a large amount of costumes/audios in your project?

Sidenote: You are still able to save the Snap! project locally to your computer!! To do this, you click "Save As" through the file icon at the top of your screen, and at the left of the popup, click "Computer", type the name of your project into the text box, and then click "Save" at the bottom.

Yes, the issue is that I saved it on the computer and it was fine, but when I wanted to do a test I found this mess.

Hi, calculator

Yes I have several scenes, audios, videos.

Wow, what do you suggest because this project is for an institution and users must interact with the application.

Oh God.

why are you trying to fit so much into one snap project, and why do you need the video in it? the scenarios you listed sound like you want to make a slideshow, not an interactive program.
