How to Use Costumes in Scratch

This video tutorial explains how to change the appearance of sprites in Scratch animations. It covers adding motion to a sprite, using the Costumes tab to flip a sprite's direction, and switching costumes using code blocks. The tutorial demonstrates how to make a cat sprite walk across the screen, pause, and walk back while facing the correct direction. It also highlights the importance of resetting the costume at the start of the program.
