I rarely comment but You gave the biggest gem!!! Thank you so much for teaching us how to stretch the frames all at once . I used to pull up the frame on a new track to stretch them!! ONE BY ONE!!

[@nikolailockertsen]

You are so welcome! I know how it feels with having to do it manually. :-)

13:49 YOU SAVED ME SOOO MUCH TIME WITH THE COLLECTION. I knew, that I can put one finger on the iPad to stretch it out but always one! And always was wonder why it is such a long process. Thanks so much 😊😊😊

[@forrestabbott2919]

That frame scaling gesture was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for mentioning that. There were far too many frames stretched individually.

[@nikolailockertsen]

Cool. Happy I could help :-)

[@alejmc]

I teared up a bit at the final shot with the music out of awe. Looks like Procreate Dreams would benefit from having some actual animation tools for environment maybe, something that could set the vanishing point for all things inside a group and a ‘Z/Depth’ amount for a layer so that when moving ‘a camera’ it would know how much to scale it. Procreate has 3D capabilities with all the material painting (that seems to have stopped a bit on that front?), maybe some of that functionality can be used as helpers for animating in Dreams too.

[@nikolailockertsen]

Hehe, thank you :-) the music does alot! Yes, Dreams is still just the first version. Imagine what will come :-) If you compare the first version of Procreate with the one we got now, it is lightyears different. So we are in for alot of amazing tools in Dreams to come

[@SimplyAnimations-fg6hp]

The wings are animated with regular frame-by-frame animation. Classic animation. So, I was looking at birds flying and testing out different sketches of animation before landing on tis one.

At 05:25 you grab the same brush in the library. But (for everyone who don’t know that) you could just. Paint with the brush, than (WITHOUT changing or clicking anything) just hold the eraser or smudge finger for a while. And procreate will smudge or erase with the same brush and size as you draw. ✍️ sorry for my English, hope you understood what I mean 😂

[@Charlie-ci7wb]

Nice video! :) can you explain however the camera movement or being able to scale it

[@nikolailockertsen]

Thank you :-) The camera is not really there, so you have to move all elements instead of the camera. In this one all elements (except the bird) is scaled bigger from the same point (you can set where you want the ancor-point) The closest elements are scaled more than the ones further into the scene. This creates the illusion of the camera move.

[@FrankJonen]

Procreate can paint on 3D objects. Can you use 3D scenes in Dreams? I'd like to work with environments like in Disney's Tarzan.

[@nikolailockertsen]

There is no 3D capability in Procreate Dreams. So the Tarzan stuff you would have to cheat in Dreams. But I totally understand what you are after!
