Video Tutorials were videos that helped New Scratchers to learn Scratch. They were found under the Help tab, which was previously on the main Scratch header bar. They each described a way to do something with Scratch. There were 21 videos in total; 10 were Introductory Videos and the other 11 were Paint Editor Tips. Although the videos can be found here, they are now unused and deleted, and clicking on a video would show 'Sorry! This video does not exist.'.
 Note: | These videos are now outdated, as they are about Scratch 2.0 — they are no longer linked to from the Scratch website. All videos were also deleted. |
