How To Animate Over Video | Procreate Dreams Tutorial

In this Procreate Dreams tutorial, I will walk you through my process for how to animate over video on the iPad. Throughout this video, I will walk you through how to import a video into Procreate Dreams, how I plan out my animation using an animation guide, and break down my process for animating different animated elements.
If you'd like to follow along, you can download the footage for free from bit.ly/RecordPlayingVideo and my working file can be downloaded here: bit.ly/RecordPlayerProjFile.
And if you use the technique and share it on social, feel free to tag me so I can see the cool animation you made. I'm @IsaiahCardonaKC on Instagram and TikTok and @IsaiahCardona on KZbin and Pinterest.

Thanks for watching! Feel free to share what your working on in Procreate Dreams and if there are any topics you would be interested in learning more about.

[@airfink]

This was fantastic and thoughtfully laid out. I teach air conditioning at a community college and I'm going to use what you taught me here to make visual aides for my students!

[@IsaiahCardona]

Glad it was helpful!

[@blitchy]

Very well explained! Thanks Isaiah!

[@RobertHarvey101]

Truly outstanding!!!!!

[@clopes50]

Wonderful Isaiah! Thank you so much to share your knowledge! Please keep making videos like this!

[@cara.leo_]

[@LeslieGrantlovefaithhope]

[@independentfashionvictim3687]

great tutorial, thx for sharing!

Glad it was helpful!

[@freedthekreed]

Great video! Planning out the animation is something I’ll definitely be more mindful of. You provided a great example here!

[@IsaiahCardona]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

[@JoshRedd]

Really solid video! I barely use procreate but have been getting into doing videos and will definitely be trying this out!

[@JoshRedd]

Woah! Just saw your profile, no wonder this video was abnormally good with your experience! Also, Im in Kansas City as well!

[@IsaiahCardona]

@@JoshRedd Thanks and always nice to meet another midwesterner!

How do you edit the video size ? Having some trouble with making the video full screen to draw over.

[@WarlockOfAsshai]

Hi! I liked the tutorial! Well done! The only thing that I didn't succeed to export the whole video together with my animation. Only the animation was exported. Is there any solution to this?

[@IsaiahCardona]

@warlockoffasshai I haven't experienced this. What method did you use to export the video? If you used basic Video export, you might try exporting using the advance export mode. I always use the advance mode and set my video codec to H.264 and file container to .mp4 and I haven't had any issues.

[@WarlockOfAsshai]

@@IsaiahCardona I succeeded to export the whole video only after selecting all the layer: original video and drawn animation

[@gamebegins2308]

Bro can we drag and drop gif images in it and will gif animate like in other video editing apps?

[@IsaiahCardona]

Hey! Currently doesn’t seem like Dreams supports animated gifs. One workaround I’ve used has been to import gifs into the original Procreate app. And then drag that project into Dreams file.

[@therealrz]

What if my app is not giving me the options button when adding video?

[@IsaiahCardona]

What version are you on? If you're on Procreate Dreams 1.0.8 or later then you should be good to add video without adjusting compatibility as they fixed the issues that caused video problems. That was a workaround Procreate team had users doing before they fixed the issues.

[@jaimezollars1]

This is great! My daughter is 11 and has been making an animation over a video of her dancing. Do you have any idea why it wound suddenly stop allowing her to draw over her video? I’m guessing she clicked something wrong, possibly?

[@IsaiahCardona]

That’s exciting! It could be a couple of things. If she’s drawing within a group it could that the group container needs to be extended. Or there could be other content on the same track which would stop her from drawing further. I would make sure the rest of the track is empty or try picking up on a new blank track.

[@creative_mindsrus1541]

Maybe your layers

[@courtnierantala5349]

When I save my video into my camera roll, it only saves the animated parts but not the video I was animating on top of can anyone help me??

[@IsaiahCardona]

Another person experienced this issue and had to select all the layers (animation and video) then it exported it all. I’d recommend trying selecting all content and see if that helps.

[@oodbooodip4641]

Why we can’t add 2 video ? 😅

[@oodbooodip4641]

I mean not in separate layers.❤

[@IsaiahCardona]

Do you mean you can’t add two videos in the same track or can’t add two video tracks? Number of video tracks are based on device. This page has the breakdown of what’s possible on each iPad: help.procreate.com/articles/zlexav-ipad-compatibility
