Yesterday I switch my icon to a snowy gif version of my normal icon and a lot of people had questions about how I made it, wanting to make one of their own. So I thought I would share the project where the animation came from so you can see how I made mine as well as make your own version if you would like! :D Here are the steps to make your own: 1) Change the character to your own inside this project 2) Switch the backdrop if you want (you can use the arrow keys to cycle through the ones I've provided or make your own!) 3) *Take a screen recording of the portion of the project where the snow is falling (I'll go into a bit more detail about this below) 4) Convert the screen recording to a gif (I did this through photoshop, but if you don't have photoshop or don't know how to use it there are websites that offer this service for free!) 5) Upload this gif as your profile icon 6) Enjoy having a snowy icon ^.^ - - - - - *FOR STEP 3: SCREEN RECORDING If you have Quicktime: + Go to file > New Screen Recording + Select which part of the screen you would like to record. I recommend only recording the part of the project where the bright color is/the region where the snow is falling. This way you'll have the proper icon size for your profile + Record for a few seconds (I recommend between 3-6 seconds) + Save the recording to your computer Using Scratch Project Video Recorder: + Inside the project, go to File > Record & Export Video + Uncheck "Include sound from project" + Press start + Record a few seconds of the video (I recommend between 3-6 seconds) + Save the video to your computer
Thanks to @ceebee for everything! More credits (music...) there!
