i JUST started using procreate dreams and i'm saving this for later! i'm using it for my animations to test for now but thank you aaron.

[@awasoa7176]

Done and done! I have about 8 or 9 courses now and they are all fantastic!

[@user-rm4wy3hs6n]

Hello, everything you've done is extraordinary. Is it possible to create animation by adding a video layer in Photoshop? Would you recommend it? Have you ever tried it?

[@AngeloVilar]

Attaining knowledge from a seasoned artist that’s using an animation app that has the potential to be a full production suite is a modern day miracle. Thank you Master Aaron!

[@pgarza1218]

I heard only thing u can’t fade is music but manually of course just tools available were the case

[@TalkShowKelly]

I’ve been loving the app. Waiting for certain features but in the meantime I’m working thru the 51 animation exercises list. I’ve got probably 50 animations in my gallery. I’ve done maybe two that I’m pleased with. Love your content, been devouring it and it helps soooo much. Like I was trying to animate a blink and it was just not right. Watched your blink tutorial and bam, the blinks are right on. Thanks for any extra content for Dreams! You da man!

[@digidrawdude]

51 animation exercises….where??

[@averyscott8821]

Where can we find that list. Id love to practice myself

Yes that’s the one, thanks Aaron!

6:14 saved my life 🙏😆

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Glad it helped :)

Yus! Another left handed creative! ❤❤❤

[@SamIRIZARRY84]

Yeeeeesss!! The ponytail is making its comeback! 👏👏👏

[@Barchloe]

dude that was so unbelievably helpful.. i’ve been waiting to use this app since it was announced and i’m no pro animator, just for fun!! i tried using it and it was so hard, and other tutorials are so clunky and shoving info down my throat so fast- this was so easy to follow and so informative!! thank you!!!

[@danielblodgett1]

Thank you so much for this. I'm a 'previous' comic book artist now because of how accessible animation has become with the use of Dreams. I'm older so anything helps at this point.

[@gabrielschroll3824]

I bought your $1 course a couple of days ago, and I just bought the app. $19.99 is such an amazing price! Adobe would have charged $19.99 per month! Kudos to ProCreate!! I just started an animation by importing an audio track, and now the fun begins! But I'm so excited! I've had TV Paint for about 3 years, and have barely used it. I'm so intimidated by it. But this app has me feeling like I can actually do something without the same steep learning curve of a big time fancy pants program like TVP. I still want to learn TVP because I'm sure it can do things ProCreate can't do, but I'm loving these tutorials, Aaron! Thank you for being the best traditional 2D animation ambassador on the internet!

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching

[@M8E1]

Timeline manipulation was a game changer for me

[@ihatetomatoees]

Meh

[@linda1541]

I tried the fade in. It worked great I put text on the black track. A great way to make a title😊

[@iam-mr-mo]

I just got Procreate Dreams. I'm here to learn!! 😊

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Check out my $1 course here: CreatureArtTeacher.com/dreams

[@fredgwynn8933]

Also snapping on Performance mode would be a smart idea for them to add too.

[@juliesettle3443]

Thank you for sharing these very useful tips.

[@ItStartsWithL]

Thank you! I'm looking forward to figuring it all out 😺

[@ZoungyArt]

That was helpful. Excited to start using it

[@Fighka303]

It was my dream as a kid to become an animator, thanks for the tips, can’t wait to start my journey

[@nickydayton83]

Bought two courses today, thanks for the amazing content and resources.

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Awesome! Thanks so much for the support I hope that you find them helpful.

[@singlerider377]

Just purchased the lesson. Outstanding!

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Awesome, thank you for the support

[@claraelia]

You re Amazing! Thanks Aaron!

[@clarewillison9379]

9:15 (and earlier!)… your hand and arm is so steady he’s not bouncing up and down throughout his journey. For us mere (wobbly) mortals is there a way to constrain movement to one plane? (Like there is holding down a finger while drawing a line to snap it to 90°/45°/180°?) Love these tips, and have just bought some of your courses! Thank you x

[@moritakaishida7963]

You're a fantastic teacher

[@IntelectuaisdoTambor]

Hi Aaron! Question I made to the Procreate Dreams team and they didn't have an answer: how do you animate in 2s? Is there an easy way that doesn't require lots of moving and pulling and clicking? Thanks in advance for your help.

[@duckalot]

I got your course and I'm so excited to learn! Thank you!

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Thanks for the support and I hope you enjoy the class!

[@Aleks-qu4ki]

Ah the tip no.3 is what I needed. This has been killing me for a while. Thank you so much!

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

No problem. So glad it helped!

[@w.awajjiup3790]

Yes! Thank you for teaching me! I got procreate dream!

[@Chrisshay111]

The onionskin colors remind me of the old Animation Academy animation software at DisneyQuest. Good times.

[@oiseaufeu]

It took a bit of time to learn the app, but I got a quick hand on the app. Now, I'm learning animation on my own and from the 24 principles animation video series on youtube. I'm working on one at the moment.

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Check out my website my “Complete Animation Class” is only $5 and while it’s done in TVPaint it’s designed to apply to any software or even pencil & paper :)

[@SaffireAnimation]

When i compare Procreate Animation feature with Procreate dreams, I guess Procreate Dreams has solved the problem of using a Dope Sheet/X-sheet at a huge scale. ❤

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Yeah Dreams is much more robust.

[@xminus1band]

Nice!

[@DarkFr3ak101]

Do you have any tutorials on how to draw or animate creatures walking because I would really love to learn?

[@clarewillison9379]

Go to his website (link in description) there are loads of courses including what you’re after and they’re all heavily discounted. 🎉😊

[@thatnickid100]

bro you are a total legend as always thank you

[@MsAston007]

Great teacher!

[@tatyanayuditskaya5090]

thank you!!!

[@g-max1808]

Thanks for the how to fade in part, Because I wanted to use that for some of my Short animation movie called Ciro. It focuses on a young Kitten getting separated from his mother during a stormy boat ride, exploring a new island which he will soon call home, and making friends with a jackalope, red fox/Vixen, dog, wolf, Siamese cat and lop eared bunny at a summer camp.

[@joelruiz6440]

Hey buddy, Is there a way to have the penguin (or whatever subject you may have) to walk or move horizontally; on a straight line? Because I have tried to do it on sceneries but my hand shakes and is not steady.

[@Fragaboom]

Thank you!

[@JECohen84]

The part that’s off screen did you fully build it out and then you just move it as the camera pans?

[@jonahblaine]

Aaron. I absolutely love your stuff! You’ve been a huge source of both inspiration and instruction over the past year. I purchased your membership recently! With the spirit of camaraderie and support, I wanted to suggest some feedback. Your methodology of introducing the concept, playing your animated introduction, introducing the concepts that you’re going to be going over once more, and finally diving into the material are nice, but a bit slow and antiquated in the new social media environment. This video really should start with the first frame of minute one. The first minute of this video is entirely superfluous. Ironically, not only would it be more helpful for your viewers to get into the meat of the content quicker - but it actually be less effort for you as well. Just a thought. Stay well, and I hope business and art continue going well for you!

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Appreciate the feedback :)

[@XAVIERCUERVO]

you are the best art teacher Aaron we want your penguin video included with this app please we can learn a lot by disassembling your scenes

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

I break it down in my new class :)

[@deborahbarnes8475]

This was helpful! New to this, super newbie ❤

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@the_gaonverse]

I haven't gotten this app yet, but I totally want to!! I was wondering how long it took for you to animate the short made with procreate dreams?

[@funfilmanimations]

Awesome video as always

[@mothmaru]

Hi Aaron! I found you recently this year, and you have been super inspiring to my art journey this far 💙 thank you so much for your affordable classes especially!! These tips will be super helpful as I start getting into Dreams too! Right now I’m trying to take steps to make art my future full time career, so I appreciate you sharing your expertise

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

I'm so glad you found me and glad you enjoy the videos :)

[@CristianSAluas]

Is there a way to export videos with transparent background like in procreate? Or can I even animate with a transparent background and export each frame without the background and I guess use After Effects to reassemble the animation and the timing? Thanks

[@jenarts3130]

Have a small doubt while Group the layers.. The layers looks like down by down.. So no animations happen so how quick move to other side by side bcoz in my ipad there is no paste option

[@selormdogoe]

Performance works for the penguin, but when you have a person with longer legs they’ll slide across the screen. Their feet don’t feel planted. Any tips on this?

[@brandonhanserd7832]

Thank you for the tips! I learned most of these tips through trial and error because I couldn’t find a decent tutorial for everything. I think I’m finally getting used to the app now…I’ve made a few animations that I’m pretty happy with. The only feature I really NEED is the lasso tool

[@onjofilms]

Great tips, bought the course, can't wait to find time to listen to it. One idea on the fade in, I would think to shorten it, you don't have to decrease the clip length. Just slide the opacity keyframe at the end, over to the left (as long as it is going to 0 it should not matter.)

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Lol! True!!

[@SaffireAnimation]

I just started using procreate dreams and bought a course of the same from your website. Question - where is the lasso tool when we draw on multiple layers under a single frame? Also for a particular layer within a frame i can wrap/distort/move/scale. Please help

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

As of now there is no lasso tool. But they are working on that for a future release.

[@SaffireAnimation]

@@AaronBlaiseArt ok sounds good. I guess for now I will just continue to use track and group it in one.

[@stevenfils8057]

Performance mode- how do i move it without it scaling or bugging out?

[@sarroora]

These were all EXTREMELY useful, especially moving the character across the screen! Thank you!

[@gloriaborisova6150]

Which iPad are you using atm?

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

When I produced my penguin 🐧 short I was using a 3 years old iPad Pro. I recently upgraded to the latest model pro though.

[@dineshfilms566]

Dear Mr Aron pls say this-can we use Procreate and Procreate dreams high resolution mattpaintings for theater films and can we play Procreate dreams high resolution animations in large screen theaters-

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Yes it’s support 1 million x 1 million pixels.

[@dineshfilms566]

@@AaronBlaiseArt thank you so much sir

[@fredgwynn8933]

Your fade in technique is smart, but it does highlight for me how easy it would be for Procreate to just add "Fade to black etc" as options if iMovie can have it. That's such an immediate drop in for other video editing it's a little silly you have to manually do it.

[@deborahbarnes8475]

❤

[@GabeWilliams]

Since you had a really early version to start your penguin short, did you have any influence on tools they added? I can only imagine you ran into a few things and told them 'Hey, you should do this, because ____"

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Some. They were fairly far along but they were great to work with and I look forward to seeing what they will continue to add :)

[@MrMisuma]

PS: I just bought it for $1 - thank you!

[@Qrozthetics]

Nice tips! But all I really want to know is how to expand background. Then this little badboy Apple-pencil gonna get busy!!

[@lilcrazyart8306]

Could you give me a couple of low price colleges for when i go to college next year

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Not sure we=here you are based but Europe has some more affordable options than typical US schools.

[@lilcrazyart8306]

@AaronBlaiseArt I was hoping to find one in the US. Where did you go for college.

[@hammadahmedmian5228]

i bought your great course but you didn't add a procreate file of your incredible animation.. Yes, u explained how u created that animation but i want to see that specific file .it's my humble request to add a procreate file of the Penguin animation in your procreate dream course.

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Unfortunately, I am presently not able to do that for contract reasons. Maybe someday :)

[@sekkataziz1644]

The app wasn’t ready for release So many things missing

[@Brookpitlik]

Tip number one: Don’t use until they add all the missing essential features.

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

I have to respectfully disagree. I’ve used it to animate without any issues. There is nothing “missing” it’s just a different approach than you might be used to. Animation can be done on pencil & paper and was for decades. Having said that just as with the Procreate drawing app they are continuously listening to users and developing new features.

[@Brookpitlik]

@@AaronBlaiseArt i have to disagree with that. If you intend to using it for bigger/more complicated projects, it’s pretty much unusable. There is no quick shape, there is no lasso tool, there is this weird “feature” that the further you zoom out the blurrier your line is, which is laughably bad, because people will inevitably want to draw things from further distance (for example environment etc.) and these are just the ones I can think of from the top of me noggin.

[@Brookpitlik]

Oh and also the fill bucket tool leaves this ugly outline from the color that doesn’t reach the outline of your drawing.

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

To each their own. I made this entire short in it kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHuudpujhtR-fdksi=fGXC9EJmPXbnw2Of I’ve never used or missed quick shape. Don’t need a lasso tool (although that’s coming). And I believe they fixed the blur bug but could be wrong on that. But hey, it’s good there are plenty of options out there.

[@Brookpitlik]

@@AaronBlaiseArt I know it looks great. But with these missing tools it would be much easier to create this short in a shorter period of time. Also there are countless types of animations and animation styles that each one uses different tools.

[@bme4285]

It seems I came late to the party. It’s no longer $1 😩

[@kararenner3331]

That intro was not quick lol

[@therealyayo1437]

i can't understand why they didn't have more adust timing options, the grabt thing is awful, in the regluar procreate you can do just hold durtation and that's it, also the procreate animation doesn't synch with same frames, really not liking this app

[@MrMisuma]

I was hesitant to buy Procreate Dreams, because I am easily overwhelmed. But I bought it and taking my baby steps with it. Right now, I just enjoy bringing life to some of my older drawings. Like this one 😄 kzbin.info236Ex3o7jNw?si=k0f77_PkGDfQP-Tc

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

Fun Stuff!

[@MrMisuma]

@@AaronBlaiseArt Thank you so much! I know it’s very basic, but I have to start somewhere, right? 😄

[@fromthedeskofmkjdigital]

Left handed crew

[@marcgoodrich]

Lacking lacking lacking, this program is disappointing and lacking so many features. Everyone is hoping for updates to fix basic needs. If you spent money on this program, you'll find that everything has to be a workaround and example is if you want to adjust your brushes, you have to do it in procreate and then import them into procreate dreams. This is ridiculous. If you do an animation like a bird flying, and then export the animation with a clear background, so you can add it on top of some footage you cannot do that in this program, you cannot export animations with a clear background to composite part. This program is very very laggy. Wish someone would've told me this before I spend the money on this program.
