Procreate Dreams: Complete iPad Tutorial!

[@leorodri100]

you still have the most concise tutorials for procreate even after all these years, thank you for your videos

[@StonerSquirrel]

Do you know how much I’ve been waiting for this app? FOREVER!!!!

[@Type1civ]

Instantly liking and commenting on this video purely because you got straight to the action. Lets go. 🔥

[@alpha8here]

Its been really cool trying out the new features but its sad that its missing Procreate's basic features like Quick shapes and Brush settings for example, but i think those would be added soon

[@draydenferguson3128]

James mentioned during the keynote that they could only add certain features, but also said this is JUST version one, so I think those will be added later down the line. But be real with yourself for a second: Who would use quick shapes for animation?

[@hillnick007]

I think they left out certain features so that the app runs as smoothly as possible. Most people will do most of their drawing in the procreate app and then export it to dreams anyway

[@ota_works]

@@draydenferguson3128 I would. If you want to draw circles, rectangles, squares or even arcs that you want to move right after drawing, the quick shapes help with that

[@ota_works]

@@hillnick007 I hope they get added as soon as possible. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’ll be nice to have them in the app

[@Lost.prinxe_]

Lol, I kept finding myself double tapping my pencil to switch between drawing/erasing or holding the screen to access quick menu out of habit😭

[@tarena397]

On my end the app is working fine so far, except it did shut down 2 times, and for a novice animator the app is a bit confusing to navigate (I do use procreate for art a lot thought, this interface is intuitive and really well designed. I believe they will eventually improve all the features in Procreate Dreams like they did with the Procreate). I hope they would add more functions to edit layer when doing flipbook (select and etc;) I wish at the end they merge functionality between two beloved apps that we know

[@samuelreyessr]

Simple. To the point. Extremely helpful. Thank very much! This made the app more approachable.

[@pumkinpatchwork]

why use AI generated images for the thumbnail? that seems a little counterintuitive considering you are teaching artists, the very people that AI scrapes and steals off of

[@St3mi02]

boohoo calm down bubba, you won’t get too far with this mindset.

[@hArtyTruffle]

You are such a good teacher. Thankyou 🍻

[@carolwiebe2820]

You give excellent explanations for whatever subject you are teaching. Thank you. I look forward to many more Procreate Dreams tutorials.

[@MountaintopKitchen]

Thanks! Preordered weeks ago, just downloaded this morning on launch day!

[@PVale11]

Does Procreate Dreams have stabilization for the pencil?

[@cheergiver]

How do you recommend creating these complex scenes? I don't know if I can draw everything I want to within Dreams, as I’m used to the tools that the original Procreate has. Should I make the major pieces there, then import and animate as needed?

[@darkstories6970]

Thank you. Im trying to take advantage of this app. I've been on procreate for almost a year and want to turn some of my characters into dreams ❤

[@religatio_studio]

How do you get rid of timeline “holes”? For example, at 2:50 you had a chunk of empty space after you split the scene into two and rearranged it. How did you then rearranged the timeline so quickly without dragging one scene at a time?

[@Jonnelss]

Fill it in with one of the frames on either side, and bring it back to it's original length

[@jaimegiraldo6415]

@@Jonnelssas in dragging the frame that I just extended, back to its original length? The other frames won’t follow through. I’m back with a hole on the timeline 😢

[@Jonnelss]

@@jaimegiraldo6415 when you're dragging back a frame to it's original length with your finger, hold another finger on the other side of the screen. Then the other clips will follow

[@cryptodoodles7]

Would love to learn more about dreams from you …..keep uploading great tutorials!!!

[@Shotokan_Greenland]

How do i do “ripple delete” to quickly close gaps in the timeline? If i delete a frame how do i close the gap without having to move everything manually?

[@Sharonliv1]

Amazing tutorial with very clear information about this wonderful app! Thank you so much for this helpful step by step guide that really helps to dive in into Procreate Dreams with more confidence ✨.

[@brianbertram4198]

Hello! I have a 3rd party pencil. It seems like you cannot use 3rd party pencils with procreate dreams. Its really unresponsive when i try to draw but if i do anything else not on the draw option my off brand pencil works just fine and is completely responsive. I was curious and looked around this morning and on a (procreate folio) or something i dont really remember. Someone said procreate dreams wont support 3rd party pencils. And it seemed like someone who worked there. So i looked into it more and with procreate 5.3 they stopped supporting 3rd party pencils (except the logitec crayon) because it has apple propriatary tech in it. So it seems to me like you cant use 3rd party pencils in dreams and it seems like someday you probably wont in procreate. Maybe im wrong and honestly hopefully i am wrong. But im disgusted that i got my hopes up and spent the money on a program i cant even use.

[@laurabythatagari8944]

@@ArtandDesign I think I don’t understand how to stop “easing” like when a drawing moves and it starts slow then gets faster then slow at the end. I want to turn it off on some movements and have no idea how! Also can you explain what the little buttons are when you expand the keyframe button?

[@rowanwhile]

Super helpful video bro. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with everyone. :)

[@Ashtechno]

Thanks! This helped a lot!

[@DesiredHoney414]

I went through the time stamps and didn’t see anything on importing your old procreate brushes, is this possible here? Most everything I’ve watched says you can, but I’m not sure how. So far a wonderful video though! I’ll probably be rewatching it several times trying to figure everything out lol. ❤❤❤

You’ve to split the screen so import brushes from procreate into procreate Dreams

[@Meowkid1000]

@@owlsgurlI would assume you go to your Files app on your iPad, split screen it with your dreams file, and drag the audio file into dreams since that’s what worked for importing brushes and moving procreate files, but I haven’t tried it myself yet.

I was watching that video you posted a year ago about using nomad scope. And I keep trying to use it. How do you used it and it’s not working.

[@gamesdog9067]

It’s a little strange that you can’t move the layer order in the drawing mode, and for some reason I can’t see how you easily rotate an object in performance mode.

What iPad do you use

[@lilsadofficial]

Hy i want to buy ipad 10 2022 model,can this ipad run procreate dreams and procreate?

[@luisvega6091]

Hi, once the raw animation is created (frame by frame), is it possible to do the finishing and details in procreate dreams? I notice that the brushes can't be modified like in procreate. I use procreate to improve the lines and make better illustrations, but I don't know how to do it in Dreams. If Dreams does not have this capability, what is the most efficient way to export all my frames frame by frame, also I notice that if I drag and drop into Dreams, it alters the order of those frames. I appreciate any help or tutorials on how to get into a more advanced stage of animation.

Can anyone help me!! I have an iPad 9 generation and I use a third party stylus. I am facing an issue:- While I use my stylus to draw line it doesn't show until I remove stylus from screen. While using hands it draws lines along with my finger gesture. This Stylus work great with procreate and other apps, but not working fine with Procreate Dreams!!!

3rd party stylus don't work in drems. It only works with first party apple pencils.

is there a bug on m1 ipad where the drawing is so laggy? But when i use the procreate app there is no visible lag on drawing

@@mastersgaming9947 even if you select the layers option and draw on the screen on the layers option. The pencil is completely responsive. No lag. Leaves the streak behind showing where ypu draw Then magically it stops when you select the draw option? Yeah OK I bet. Its the pencil. Its dumb. Im sure apple paid procreate money to disable 3rd party support to drive up apple pencil sales. Its clear theyve been trying to draw up sales for pencils by releasing new cheaper models and making new ipads only use old pencils and not new ones. So im sure apple paid procreate to do that :/

[@nerol6351]

Does somebody know, how to change apple pencil 2 pressure sensitivity in Dreams? I don't want to press very hard on my display. My pencil can't draw good full of color lines without hard pressing. That's why I use pressure curve in Procreate but can't find something like that in Procreate Dreams.

@@alpha8here Turns out I can add videos but I can’t shoot in-app, which is shame since in-app shooting will speed up the process, but it’ll do for now.

[@ArtandDesign]

@StonerSquirrel I get what you mean. I'm sure they'll add this in the near future. To record narrations or sound effects without having to go to a different app, that would be ideal.

[@tarena397]

I did tried something like this recently, you just add the video (in my case I drew series of flipbooks shots) at the bottom, lower the opacity, and then add the new track above and then do the flipbook. You can see whats going beneath the track you are currently on.

[@deardarlingdarra]

How do you add sound?

Right now you have to import file with the + button 🙂

Why are you using AI “art” in the thumbnail. Shame 👎

[@ArtandDesign]

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! I understand that using AI art in the thumbnail may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I wanted to experiment with different styles and techniques. I appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind for future videos.

[@emilyalvin1552]

The entire video is for artists so using AI generated art is just flat out insulting. AI is unethical and is STEALING jobs from artists while it uses their own art to train the models without thier approval or consent. Yet you continue to contribute to the problem by using it, do you want to help artists or not? I looked at your channel and you have also used it several times for videos on Procreate, an app for CREATING art. Use your own art or hire an artist to make art for your thumbnails.@@ArtandDesign

[@ArtandDesign]

Thank you for your feedback, Emily. I understand your concerns about AI and its impact on the art industry. It's indeed a complex issue. The AI tool I use, Adobe Firefly, is designed to assist in the creative process, not to replace artists. It's a tool I use to experiment with different styles and techniques. Importantly, Adobe Firefly is trained on a dataset of licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired. This ensures that it respects copyright laws and the work of artists. As for the thumbnails, I've worked with multiple artists in the past, but maintaining consistency and balancing costs proved challenging. The revenue from my free educational videos often doesn't cover the cost of custom-made thumbnails. Using AI for thumbnails allows me to focus more on providing the educational content that I'm passionate about for free. That is where I want to devote my energy.
