My procreate dreams crash course is currently 50% OFF: www.stefankunz.studio/procreate-dreams/crash-course

[@homeschoolingconcristo]

Hi! I wanted to enroll on the free course first but most of the pages aren’t working :( Would you fix it please? Thank you!

[@bepispepsi8180]

I didn’t realize what I was signing up for compared to doing animation and just procreate 💀 but I’m happy that I now have the ability to be able to access an actual animation and editing program that can make animation so much easier. Lots to learn but totally worth it

[@LilyUnicorn]

Have the ability access animation program....as if they werent there before. The animation program studio ghibli uses is free. Opentoonz. And digicel flipbook was used for princess and the frog...titan a.e and by legendary Don Bluth. . 20 bucks for the cheapest version. About the same as procreate dreams. 50 bucks for fancy -you know what you are doing version. 100 for....we making movies over here. One time use. No subscription. Toonboom is 1000000x better than all of these but it is Expensive. I can only dream to have it. I dont understand your comment. You cant have tried to search too hard if you think procreate dreams is more accessible than software that is the same price or heck FREE. And even used by big time animation bosses Ghibli, nickolodeon and disney.....😅😅😅😅😅

Never thought id be watching young DR.Harrison wells teach me how to animate with procreate but im not complaining.

Minute 5:05, How can I set this kind of slide to open the photo app for import? I can only do it with the the icon "+"

[@madeleineprice9780]

Yes i’m having the same problem - anyone got an answer for us please? 😮

[@redbucketart387]

Go into the photos app and press the three dots at the top and centre, there should be an option for slide over :)

[@sharloot2803]

At the top of the screen there are three dots that you must press to split the screen

[@luantelo]

Hey Stefan thanks so much for the tutorial! I have a question tho! after grouping the fanta object ( i think i grouped it twice) and placing the chips can on top, the movement animation did applied to the second object but the rotation didnt! do you know why that can happen? if so, can i solve it after animating it or do i have to start over? it would be of great help if you could answer! thanks so much!

a great tutorial, fast paced but well-explained

[@billdungan3709]

I loved this video! Okay I like the idea of a complete course. I learned a lot from this video but it went a little fast in some places. Like I couldn’t always follow where you were clicking. My question is, do you slow the steps down and show more detail as to where you are clicking so we slow learners can follow along? Are there sample lessons to preview? Thanks

[@StefanKunz]

The crash course is really perfect. I have more time, not trying to keep it fast paced for youtube and the best part its being built out over the coming weeks/months. So the sooner you join the more input you can give. This is a sample lesson ☺️. And right now 50% off during blackfriday

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Shinigami77380]

Nice tutorial, can you tell me more about that importing of fanta bottle from photos to the dream? Is this feature specific to higher model apple tablet/pencil or specific feature of something else like dreams and procreate illustration app? I remove the white part by selection tool in procreate app and this is really time taking so i was curious to know that trick. It would be a great time saver.

[@StefanKunz]

Its an newet iOS feature called lift subject. You should be able to do it on your iphone too. Try it out. But don’t tap and hold on anything with text. And the results are not perfect. And the import is really just drag and drop.

28:46 My procreate dreams keeps getting stuck at exporting. I haven’t been able to export a single animation I have no clue what’s wrong

[@Exp1r3d_milk]

I’m hoping to get this app! Are there any extra tips I should know?

[@princessbaeex]

This looks sooo good can you also save everything as single frames? Because I am studying game design and In the engine I have to have the frames and make the animation in the engine… I’m not rlly sure how to import it as a video

[@StefanKunz]

Yes you can. Check the export settings. And look into advanced settings

[@ZackTronix]

yes you can , when you go to export, you choose the "Frames as Images: option instead of "video" like he showed. this will export the entire movie as an image sequence that you can use in the engine

[@susancadeza7281]

[@Minize9982]

Can you make custom selections like you would with the little cursor tool in procreate? I’m trying to animate a full character in motion and I tend to want to just make custom selections of each leg, arm, etc. and move them into position

Any other D students lost yet? I'm sure I'll find a way to animate dreams completely incorrect as usual but I would love to actually understand and apply exactly the way I'm taught for once.

[@bethsoetopo]

Thank you so much Stefan!! But I'm still confused on grouping thing, maybe it doesn't need to be grouped on the newer version?

[@StefanKunz]

Yes you should always group your clip before adding keyframes. This will save you tons of time if you want to replace an object.

[@DocReasonable]

Can you copy-paste across the Flipbook pages?

[@StefanKunz]

yes you can. simply tap and hold on the current frame until the frame options come up and you can select copy. then go to any other page and tap and hold again and this time select paste

[@DocReasonable]

That is excellent, thanks Stefan! @@StefanKunz

[@tommykeeling7697]

I’m still struggling with basic stuff about this software, I’ve animated a whole music video using procreate and Final Cut using green screening, I was hoping I would be able to not have to bounce things to my IMac, but could actually do a similar thing with Dreams, but I really can’t work it out. Procreate is so logical and simple, dreams doesn’t feel the same.

[@bryttersbear]

Is there a special swtting for the side to pop up with the photos? I cant seem to get it to work :/ I also cannot seem to get out of the flip book area like you do either?

[@StefanKunz]

You should be able to swipe in the window by moving your finger from outside the screen inwards. Let me know if that works. To open the flipbook, be sure to have tapped on the draw button first. You‘ll know when the entire stage turns into your background color. Also make sure to be on an empty place in your track. 👍🏻🥳

[@Amaltheaah]

I can’t get the side pop up for the photos either… tried swiping outside the screen inwards several different ways, but no go. My iPad Pro has been having trouble updating to 17 iOS, so I’m wondering if iOS 16 is the problem - trying to offload apps and attempt another software update to see if 17 upgrade will resolve the issue.

[@brandonhanserd7832]

I’m drawing frame by frame. Is there an easier way to change each frame from 1’s to 2’s without moving each frame individually? Most animation apps, all you have to do is slide the desired frame and it moves all the other frames to the right. The way Procreate dreams does it is tedious. Also there’s no lasso tool 🫤

[@StefanKunz]

You can duplicate the frame. But that’s not necessarily the solution you are hoping for.

[@brandonhanserd7832]

@@StefanKunz thank you. I figured it out. You have to grab the edge of the frame, and then place your other finger down while sliding to the left or right. You can do with multiple frames too

[@dplj4428]

@@brandonhanserd7832 Thank you for sharing. I wonder what the difference is between copy and duplicate? Different features or limitations.

[@brandonhanserd7832]

@@dplj4428 no problem. Duplicate copies the frame and places it right beside the previous frame. It’s just a faster way of copying and pasting. The copy feature is usually used when you want to place or paste in a specific location on your timeline

[@Kathir-n1n]

Hey thanks for this great tutorial am facing difficulty with something tho I spent a lot of time but my rotation part isn’t as smooth as yours what I am trying to say is in your animation it’s like as it is about to stop the rotation happens and it feels so smooth in mine it’s not like that I tried a lot like the transitions timing everything but it’s not like yours someone help me out

Did you add the rotation on the group layer below? Not the one with the slide? And do you have set the easings to ease in and out?

You need a group within a group. On the top level you‘ll do the slide. And inside the group (2nd group) you add just the tilt. And dont forget to move the anchor point.
