ToonSquid Vs Procreate Dreams

[@CamMations]

Toonsquid is basically everything that I wished procreate dreams would be. 7 months later and we STILL don’t have the selection tool. They said that they’re working to have it as soon as possible, but how “soon” exactly? It’s been over seven months.

[@AnimationonaBudget]

Yeah it seems they don’t even have a release date, just ‘soon’

[@CamMations]

@@AnimationonaBudget I think another thing you should’ve mentioned was that procreate dreams has compositing options while toonsquid doesn’t but who knows? Maybe the 2.0 update will include compositing options.

[@dillonwright13]

@@CamMationsWhat kind of compositing options are you referring to? I’ve mainly used Procreate Dreams for hand drawn animation, but I’m sure ToonSquid could do it with the right settings.

@@CamMationsOh, you mean the effects, yeah, I hope ToonSquid gets those soon, too, especially so I won’t have to export my ToonSquid animations into Dreams to get one effect.

the fact this app can adjust how many frames for one drawing takes the crown over flipaclip and proceeate dream

[@barbi111]

Toonsquid is the real dream app!! The problem with PD that they sacrificed the features like liquify for the 1million canvas size, despite nobody on earth use it (I guess 8k is the max). I know because I asked them, and the answer was that never will liquify tool in it, because of the reason above. It could be so good!

[@sqwirry_5655]

Yes! More people are talking about ToonSquid, which is great! I mean, this app even has professional features like out-of-pegs for referencing your frames without the need to actually transform them. And flipping the drawing, which was added after users had asked for it. And the ability to quickly flip through drawings just swiping your fingers on the canvas is such a time-savior! The only flaw this software has is its IOS-restriction, but so do many professional drawing programs.

[@sqwirry_5655]

Also, I know it's not its main purpose, but I found its pixelart tools work soo much better than those in any other Ipad software, it's a lovely bonus!

[@jennyfong6851]

The flipping does get hidden in the setting menu as a toggle which perplexed me a bit since I constantly flip horizontally to check if my character face look good in both view

[@AnalogueAbsynth]

I had the same experience as you, starting with dreams then trying toonsquid. There's such a huge difference in features and quality of life between them, I don't think the devs who made dreams are animators and it shows

[@jennyfong6851]

They commissioned all these artists to animate a bunch of shorts, I wonder if the artists didn’t tell them all these obvious shortcomings…

[@peonyflowerking]

I'm part of the toonsquid team, I love this animation app especially since it's 10 DOLLARS ONE TIME PURCHASE ONLY! HOLY PLU- I used Callipeg before for a short time and I really liked Callipeg...until I saw the one time purchase in Callipeg. My hopes lost, my determination crumbling. Until in the midst of despair, Toonsquid reach out its hand to me and told me. "Buy me and I'll make your life easier." And then I was sold, i love Toonsquid and any other animation softwares kills my motivation. All except rough animator. Also I only have a slight problem with Toonsquid and that's...the bucket tool. I never liked procreate bucket tool and it's difficult to adjust to refill it my drawing with color.

I normally animate on ToonBoom because I have a student license with my uni, but ive been trying to find a software for ios that could meet my high standards even slightly so that I can do my work on the go…. The fact that this app uses vectors really sold me. It means it was truly made by someone who Gets Animation.

[@njnjco]

I love Procreate, it's my favorite drawing program, so I thought that I would love Procreate Dreams. Yeah, no. Dreams seemed half baked at best. Maybe some day Dreams will be as good of an animation program as Procreate is as a drawing program, but today is not that day.

[@KupoXP]

It’s funny that Procreate seems to have better animation tools than Procreate dream lol though Toonsquid sounds like an amazing app to get!

[@mrnoodlesthemaster]

This is a really good video! I got hyped about Dreams and bought it almost as soon as it came out and then realized how dumb it was immediately and it hasn't improved a whole lot. Tbh just hearing about the lasso and the camera tool in ToonSquid made me lose it a little. Just goes to show that indie devs will usually wipe the floor with companies

[@Hooper45]

i also bought dreams as soon as it came out and regretted SOOOO hard right after using it. i will buy toonsquid and never touch dreams EVER AGAIN.

[@friedgumbo]

I was really excited for Dreams but as soon as it released I went back to ToonSquid like “I’m so sorry my child, I’ll never leave you again…” Also, great work on the video!

[@merakilous]

Honestly, I did the same! 😅

[@jennyfong6851]

The toonsquid dev having a jumpscare when dreams was announced only to have people flocks to their app latter, and now there gonna be a toonsquid 2 update while dreams still doesn’t have the lasso tool, I could never have predict this result.

[@Bleenderhead]

Dreams just released an updated roadmap after months of silence... even if they implement everything on the list, they will never have: - Vector graphics support - Symbols (re-usable animation loops) The second one is huge, since without it you have to copy and paste groups everywhere, and there is a very low group limit in the timeline in Dreams! I feel like they have so much trouble even with basic features that hell would freeze over before they could implement something huge like an entire vector editing subsystem to their app.

[@suduwudu]

That was such a great video!!!! Captivating from start to finish and all the artwork was top tier! All the little squid drawings were very cute and the dog surprised and humored me greatly! Very impressed by this amazing video!

[@vexvexvanilla]

I was expecting so much from procreate dreams, I literally bought the app thinking it’d be an animation app with all the previous features from procreate, I came to realize that that didn’t have audio scrubbing, no auto drawing tools and every single tap on that app is an undo button, man it took me so long to create a simple animation. It deserves its three star rating currently, Toonsquid, on the other hand, is amazing.

Toonsquid was the app I wish I knew existed before I tried flipaclip. (Flipaclip suuuucks!! It’s so tedious to animate using that app!!)

[@TMC3000]

Wow! Very impressive take on how you view these apps. Personally, I love both apps at almost the same level as I believe that they both have their pros and cons exclusive to them. However, I mostly use PDreams even with its lackluster features….i just feel at home there better than ToonSquid. Don’t get me wrong though, for I totally agree with your view on this but at the end of the, it’s all about perspective and preferences and also individual experience. No doubt ToonSquid top the charts with the most features, can’t dispute that. But for me, I just preferred PDreams more to work with and so far it serves me well…….though I still cry out for more features and I damn well scrutinize them harder at every chance I get. Good video and I love your voice 😂!

[@hpthelonesomeartist]

1:34 Ouch the sudden slander on FlipaClip is WILD….but yeah reasonable enough lol. Especially if you’re someone who gets easily irked by advertisements or an unremovable watermark after exporting (plus the limited layers was an issue before the implementation of “free after watching an add” alternative). I’m sort of a believer that it’s not fully the program to blame, it’s the skill set of the individual which determines quality. Anyone has the capability to make the most out of using a limited amount of available tools. The animators who still use Flipnote Studio are proof of it. But of course it is also important to be comfortable with the program you use, or else animating will just become frustrating and not fun. Anyways I enjoyed the video, was very informative and you have such a fun cartoony expressive artstyle. Mayhaps I will check out Toonsquid :))

[@AnimationonaBudget]

Oh yeah flipaclip used to be the program i used, i made some very decent stuff on it. I always trash on it now because of the implementation of a subscription service. the app itself is fine for what it is but a subscription service? On flipaclip? I stopped using it because of that

[@hpthelonesomeartist]

@@AnimationonaBudget Oh yeah, that was definitely a bad move marketing wise. Can’t blame you for disliking it because I also think it’s a sucky change. Actually I believe before that point I had payed money for extra layers and no adds, however that feature was taken away from me once the subscription was implemented? I didn’t initially correlate the sub change as the cause, because at the time my iPad’s charging capabilities died and I had to get a replacement. Just thought I was unlucky screwed over by loosing the initial payed for version. It’s frustrating that programs get greedy after a while and loose sight of making animation accessible for those unable to afford mainstream software :/

[@backupthing]

@@hpthelonesomeartist gosh that sucks, I’m currently staring nervously at my 8 year old iPad hoping that it doesn’t die because I still have access to my “one time pay” for the full version of flipaclip lmao. Flipaclip is a good simple program, but absolutely INSANE that they had the audacity to put in a subscription service. There’s like,,,,, no tools?? At all?? And now I have to pay monthly for it??? I’ve used it to animate for years, but it truly is only worth ten dollars. I’m slowly migrating to toonsquid because flipaclip lag has also gotten much much worse since the newer updates.

[@punwind7039]

Great video-I’m definitely a ToonSquid evangelist. Spread the word, because the ToonSquid guy doesn’t have the big marketing budget that Procreate has.

There's one more good thing about procreate dreams apart from performance mode is that you can keyframe warp and some some effects like hsb/gaussian blur.

[@Estreon]

One thing that I really wish procreate dreams had was an editable curves function(AKA easings) The basic ones they offer are fine but I would love a way to make snappy tweens. Although coloring an animation my hand was both painful and satisfying. I don't really use the lasso tool the much anyways even when I'm normally drawing so that's probably why it doesn't bother me as much as it does for other people. I kind hate the fill bucket though. Like, why drag & drop? Why? On the occasion I use Krita I'm like: why do I have the coloring done in two minutes? (My character designs aren't even that complicated.) And yeah the blurry-ness when your zoomed out is *weird.* Although I don't really need anything too complicated. If I can draw and have access to layer settings I'm happy. Also I like they're copy and paste way better than FlipaClip's. -I made an 3+ minute animatic and half of it was done in FlipaClip and I remember my wrist getting sore from copy and pasting so much. I find the dragging out frames much more comfortable. I might just be used to it's weird interface.

[@Tooons_Animatics]

I HATE PROCREATE DREAMS, HERES WHY. Procreate dreams has hidden ALL the tools making it harder to use the FRICKING APP! Compared to procreate all the tools such as the undo button IS NOT EVEN VISIBLE!! Using your finger to undo is basically IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME. Useing procreate dreams is like trying to use kakshi’s copy justu. This is just my experience with dreams, but I’ll be sticking with procreate to animate.

Toonsquid is literally every animation app ever, its like adobe animate but really simple and easy to use. Even tho its really opinion based. my first animation on there was way better then anything i've made on anything else (especially since theres no layer limit and you can add layers on layers and even with like a million it doesnt lag) i mean i can glaze for years honestly

[@wrexgrafix84]

Procreate Dreams does have Onion Skin. It’s when you go to Drawing mode, then you click on the time on the bottom left TIME numbers to choose the onion skin settings, such as color and how many steps or skins you want to see. Procreate Dreams does have a steep learning curve… especially for a noob like me… I was literally screaming in frustration at times because it was doing some wonky things (like when importing layers, like you mentioned), and the interface was driving me crazy. As you said though, the Performance mode does seem appealing, so I’ll try to stick it out with Dreams… hopefully, future updates will address major issues people are having with it.

As someone who has only procreate dreams, and yet to be able to buy toonsquid, i have gotten really used to using dreams, and found ways to by pass all the missing stuff. Though it is still VERY annoying and an unnesecary thing for me to even have to work on, i am not too bothered by it. I WILL definetly eventually buy toonsquid, and i think i will use it for full on animation, while using procreate dreams for silly stuff, because i do LOVE my brushes and cant stress enough how much i love being able to move my Procreate stuff into Dreams. Procreate is fantastic but dreams is definetly lacking. One thing i definetly am the most bothered by is the way the timeline editing works, especially when it comes to grouping and LAYERS. It is impossible to add another layer to a drawing that has liquify applied to it, which makes no sense, causs all the move functions arent even visible in drawing mode, so it could so very simply be possible. (Make it so liquify editing isint visible while in drawing mode, making it possible to add a coloring layer for example, and then when you go to timeline or view mode, ALL the layers have the same liquify layer on top. Instead of just...blocking me from adding layers all together. ) Oh and PLEASE Procreate make it possible to change a frame into a group without having to group something with it PLEASE it takes a YEAR to just make a GROUP OH MY GODDDD (Btw by liquify i mean "warp", procreate dreams obv does not have liquify yet 🥲)

I really really love toonsquid! I think the only thing I get frustrated with is that the camera will always move as fast as your animated framerate. I would really like to just be able to animate on 7fps with the camera being at 24 or higher lmao

[@Purporle]

I think the fix for that would be to make it at like 24 frames but animating on twos or threes, or you could animate in a 7 frame project and after you finish you make a new project thats 24 frames and import the animation video to move the camera smoothly

[@backupthing]

@@Purporle thank you! But I’ve done both of those and unfortunately: 1. Animating on twos or threes is a little obnoxious because I have to actively drag each individual frame of my animation to fill two or three frames. It makes the screen look crowded and confusing for me, though that would probably work for someone else! 2. Exporting and importing the project destroys the quality. At least with my iPad.

What do you think of the regular procreate and animating there? In comparison to ToonSquid and PD? Hope you answer :) thinking of starting my own animation channel (like yours) soon. Also what video editing app do you use/recommend?

[@Chorasina]

Alright, I’ll bite I made my first ever completed animatic on procreate dreams over the course of two or three months, by drawing everything in procreate and exporting it over to Dreams to actually put it together. However, it definitely was extremely difficult, so I’d like to ask some quick questions to see if I should cough up the money for toonsquid. 1- is it really that simple to understand? The biggest issue for me with other animation softwares like adobe movie maker is that they were so overwhelming that I didn’t even know where to start. At least with procreate dreams I knew what I could be doing lmao 2- importing brushes/fonts? I desperately need my good brushes if I’m going to be making the switch lol 3- clipping mask? Please

Guys, we are so back!

Ffs I found this video and your last one after getting procreate dreams and thinking “hmm this isn’t that great I wonder what other ppl think”. Day ruined (your content is very funny please keep making it).

I paid 20 dollars for an app that REALLY needed time to cook more and to come with detailed instructions. well at least I have calipeg that cost me 60 dollars........you're going to make me want to spend 10 more dollars on this.

I have both and I use both. I was actually able to make an animated short, too! ❤

As someone who uses procreate regularly, it boggles my mind that dreams is worse than the regular app, THERES EVEN AN ANIMATE OPTION IN REGULAR PROCREATE FOR FLUFFS SAKE (only downside is that in regular procreate you can’t have that many frames, the frames themselves are based around layers or groups)

[@AnimationonaBudget]

@@shearwatertheseawing I know!! I definitely prefer animating on base procreate over their actual animation app. I think procreate dreams is better as an editing app than an animation app honestly

[@GoldDogeOFC]

Adobe animate fits me better… but i want to try toonsquid sometime

[@Krispykreme15]

I bought dreams back in December knowing they didn’t have the lasso tool but I thought “ah they’ll probably add it in next week.” The Procreate team is honestly pretty good at listening to what the users want but with dreams it’s been kinda 😬 Like they are soooo quick to add features for the new Apple Pencil but not for the damn lasso tool

Thank you! ❤

[@AnimationonaBudget]

@@toonsquidart oh my goodness toonsquid! Your app is just amazing!

[@marystarlightsky]

Woah :D

[@ash_the_inky_boi]

I regret getting Procreate Dreams ughhshd I got ToonSquid first but I was focused on getting some variety of apps 😭 So I still hope Dreams improves,

[@christianr.5868]

ToonSquid is great! And it’s supposed to be getting a big 2.0 update soon

[@Mrlonely-gs8th]

Any timeframe? Which month? I really wish they add keyframing warp+guassian blur+HSB feature and it will single handedly leave every other animation app far far behind in every aspect as it already has so many features which other apps don't have like supporting vector brush, pen tool.

[@christianr.5868]

@@Mrlonely-gs8th I wish I knew. All I know is he said soon. He works on ToonSquid in his free time, but he said the next true update will be a big one
