Procreate Dreams: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started!

[@justinjamescolon]

So excited that I got it, but boy would I love to see more basic features from procreate brought over. Snapping lines, shapes, ordering layers, etc.

[@dplj4428]

. I did see that if you’re in Timeline you can move a track above or below another, that is like moving a layer behind or in front of another. - someone showed how he did a title. “Introduction”. Then created a horizontal yellow strip on track beneath it, applied a keyframe motion on it to scoot left to right. He was able to have the yellow strip come on horizontally behind the word by holding his left finger on left. That kept both tracks aligned and steady. ?? His channel is Ben Designs.

Probably…once you get so far, you can also group those and then duplicate to make larger chunks at once- that’s what I’ve been doing but didn’t want to add too many steps to confuse people in this one.

When transfer file from procreate the color tone changes a little bit…. Please help!

[@Mrlonely-gs8th]

Hello sir, first of all sincere thanks for this detailed video. I have a question though. Can i set different frame rates for different elements in same timelines on procreate dreams? For example, if i want to create an animation that has a character moving at 24 frames per second (FPS) and another character moving at 12 FPS in the timeline of the same project, is it possible? Because i animate with different technique by individually creating animated element and then merging all of them in editor. So, is it possible or expected to be possible in the future version?

[@Yash.027]

Same question I am having. Probably, we can’t.

[@andrewneet]

I have the same doubt. I want to draw 12 FPS animation on top of a 24 FPS video. Within procreate it all plays at the same FPS. So I dont know if it will be possible in procreate dreams. I typically composite everything on after effects so that is what I will end up doing. Also you can just duplicate every layer to do 12 fps within 24 fps timeline as well. every frame plays twice and essentially is 12 fps.

[@Pyrex2gg]

I guess they’ll add that in future updates

[@Mrlonely-gs8th]

@@andrewneet Mybe it is possible. They can make a feature to add a whole seperate secondary timeline panel in the same project beneath the main timeline panel. Note that it is not a new track, but a whole new timeline panel with different frame rate adjustment option and we can switch between the two timeline panels according to our work need. The main video will be exported according to the main primary timeline panel only. The secondary one will be only to add different elements with different frame rate of that secondary panel. We already do that in video editors when we add transparent .gif files or animated stickers on top of our videos. Those animated stickers gif files were created with different slower frame rates then the main 25 fps video, but in final export everything is rendered properly. I hope you are getting my idea. Maybe that's only possible as an idea and not practically but that would be really helpful and can easily replace my video editor for almost 95% of part. And also, i didnt noticed any option in this video to export in .gif format with transparent background. Toonsquid has that option and it is quite basic, even procreate illustration app has that option. Otherwise making animated stickers with transparent background wouldn't be possible with mp4 or .mov format. These two things only are my main concern. Otherwise the app is really a revolutionary one for animators.

What’s like the limit of time you can make your animation last? Like are the frames you can add endless?

Considering the max document size is a million by a million pixels. It’s roughly 1.4 hours per cut if you’re working at a 4k resolution. And I doubt any single animator would have to worry about that limit and you can also make multiple shorter cuts and stick them together
