[@draydenferguson3128]

@@doot7310 Personally, I would love for them to add Vector functions/layers in Dreams. It would unlock huge potential in the app. I know Toonsquid already has Vector functions, but it's not as easy to pick up as Dreams was for me (Seriously, it was very simple for me to understand just from the Keynote alone).

My favorite path tip: drawing the actual path on its own track. And then the whole video! Great teaching method. I have to remind myself that this just the mechanics of animation. First comes ideas, a story notion, which or what the whole of story. 41:17 Underpaint class waiting list, first class roster filled (2024/03).

I will buy my first iPad soon and I’m so excited to learn animation with this. This video really explained everything so well and I will definitely come back to this :)

Thank you so much. I just got Dreams and this is a big help

[@PlainsAyu]

ToonSquid seems a lot better. And after I saw all of the "still animating in procreate" videos on youtube, fresco is great for animating.

these tips and tricks were amazingly helpful fora beginner like me. thank you!

[@TheKreiszahl]

Wow! Thank you so much! You really helped me a lot to get an easy start with the tool (without support / enablement it can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning because it has its own way of doing things - but after your tutorial I realized that it's all very intuitive, fast and flexible and what I can do with the tool). Thank you 🙏✌

Fantastic explanation! Thanks !

[@mybrass41]

This is great! i didnt think i would see anything new concerning approach and function of this software and surprise surprise…bravo!

[@stella-fu3oc]

34:54 this can be also done by duplicating the fill group and then in draw mode clearing each frame with three finger scrubbing motion,, you don't have to deal with the frame time adjustment,, i think it's quicker this way

[@decalpals8496]

I’m new to animation and found this video to be very helpful and informative. Just a quick question. Is there a reason to choose manually expanding a drawing or drawings over using the “Fill duration” option on the menu you get when long pressing a selected drawing? Thanks for your time and for sharing your expertise.

[@kizanko]

Man you are so good at explaining I don't have a Ipad but I do have a Galaxy Tab, I wosh you could make a tutorial for Android with Clip Studio Paint or HiPaint or something ❤❤ this was a fun watch tho!

[@sipideh]

I have this problem with the Procreate Dreams, that I can’t export files that are partly transparent. I’ve been meaning to use my animation in some part of my video. the video is long, about 20 minutes I guess, and the editing process is not finished so I can’t actually put the video in Procreate Dreams and animated on top of it. Also there’s one more problem with the brushes. Whenever you zoom out and you draw something after zooming into the drawing, the brush is kind of pixily and have a very low quality…. It doesn’t happen in Procreate itself. so whenever I want to draw, I have to make sure that I zoom in and draw whatever that I want to draw so that the quality stay high.

[@MichaelRelthArt]

found a tutorial for exporting transparency kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKmUe2RjqditaLMsi=WIKhlN7dgRnQYA01 . havent observed the brush issue on my end but ill try it out and see what happens

[@Geraldekofo1888]

I would like to know if in procreate Dreams there are the tools for doing : ruler, square, circle, rectangle, triangle ?

[@amdawood]

Is this the best Procreate Dreams tutorial or what !! Great Job man! Just a small question, you kinda avoid using the layers in the drawing mode, any advice on that part? why would someone use it? we are clearly depending on tracks to layer our animation though..

[@MichaelRelthArt]

tracks are just kinda like reimagined layers for the purposes of animating in dreams. you can still use "layers" if you want, you'll just eventually want to long hold on your "content" in the timeline and select "convert layers to tracks" at some point to get the full functionality of the timeline. however this approach is clunky because each frame will be a group with multiple tracks and multiple "content"s inside, which is why i dont use layers in the first place when working in dreams

[@amdawood]

@@MichaelRelthArt Thanks for explaining! I'll definitely keep that in mind as I work with content in the timeline 👌👌👌

[@KOLONILABS]

Please pray for my online friends, hopefully I will soon have an iPad. so you can immediately use Procreate 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Noidii]

This video is way more helpful than all those shitty ones you’ll find on youtube. I wonder how you work with backgrounds. For example the animation at the very end. Do you draw larger scale backgrounds in procreate first and then import them into dreams? Move and scale them around during? I find it hard to understand. Anyway you just gained a follower.

[@MichaelRelthArt]

youve got it exactly right! thats what i do but i put the layers in a group, and then into another group and then another so that each group can animate one thing individually: for instance the topmost group animates scale and position, the next group down animates "camera drift", the final group animates camera shake. something like that!

[@Noidii]

[@sokrates8104]

Hello. How did you select all the parts when you switched to motion mode? I could only select the drawing timeline. Not all parts are selected at the same time, so painting and drawing do not move at the same time.

Is there a way to turn art on paper into an animation on procreate dreams?

[@albertoatienzarcaamano4007]

Pretty good tutorial, but under my point of view I'm still disappointed with Procreate Dreams, finding easier to animate in better way within just Procreate, Dreams miss yet a lot of basic options and it is painful to manipulate and draw traditionally on the flip book

What is lasso even for? I’ve been drawing on procreate for a while and have never used it cuz I don’t know what it’s for

[@pablobarrios7681]

@@DarkMoon267is to select an specific part and move it, copy, cut, transform it, it’s pretty useful, and is a feature that almost all drawing programs have, technically you don’t need it, cause, you cannot do that in traditional art lol, but is really useful to speed up process

[@Lenaa_elaa]

@@DarkMoon267you can either use to select a part of the drawing without affecting the whole drawing (ex: you want to fill a part of your drawing a certain color but without affecting thr other part, or you want to put on a filter or smudge without affecting your whole drawing ) or you use it to move a certain part of your drawing around (after selecting with the lasso tool you press the arrow next to it on the bartool).

[@systematically.design]

Looks terribly laborious, The UI is also terrible... you should be able to select the space between frames. - maybe scribble on them for example and delete the space and so bring all the frames back. = or another solution. but extending a frame pushing the others forward to then shrink that same frame seems a silly solution. Also having to fill in every frame with the color one by one... this is when're a basic gem ai could help give intelligence to the software... with out taking away the creative freedom and control. Good tutorial though :D Might try it
