In today's video, we'll compare Procreate Dreams and Toonsquid for animation. Procreate's known for iPad drawing, so people were excited for its animation app. But Toonsquid also does animation, making it tough for animators to choose. Let's compare them and see which one is better!

[mspikles]

the issue with procreate dreams is the missing tools needed for transforming and selecting objects in your animation. The lasso tool is the most important tool needed to fix your animation however it isnt available in dreams

Great overview. I have both, and find Procreate Dreams’ design philosophy of hiding features makes it so much more frustrating to use. Toonsquid is full-featured and powerful. I will keep checking in with Procreate Dreams, but at least for now still find Toonsquid to be the superior app.

Thanks for this video. I feel like I'm going to wind up buying both. I expect I'll like Dreams more, but I really want to give the creator of ToonSquid money because it's an incredibly competent piece of software, especially for being one person's side project, and doubly so for being so cheap.

i have procreate but i’m so hesitant to get dreams because it seems to be missing a lot of basic features. i think i’ll try toonsquid but hopefully procreate dreams manages to catch up soon.

ToonSquid is obviously the winner its very easy to use and with just a few tutorials I’m already an animator

[Zarpas]

I use Toonquid for storyboarding, but for a finished animations lacks somes tools so I export the SB and rough animation to other software like CSP

[gokuturkey]

Toonsquid is better and will be much better if be able detach from the mistakes of procreate such as missing custom key option, non-adjustable menus, missing audio editing, features etc...

[rhiocsnoops]

was super hyped for procreat dreams. then i started it and welll... i was super disappointed. coming from programs of the adobe suite. i haaated dreams UI. everything is hidden. so many missing features that are just basic stuff like a lasso tool. changing FPS of imported media and so much more. i guess i give the squid a go. that looks much better for animating. and dreams STILL wont import picture sequences correctly?? this is insane. its nice that they have a big team but gosh. they fail hard in bug fixing even the most important stuff. they really kill their reputation with dreams.

thank you for this comparisson video.

I use Flipaclip because im broke.



Edit: might get toonsquid.

[AkhilPatel]

Toonsquid is wonderful! Let's go Keiwan!

[fariiidmahmoodi]

I used both and for me ToonSquid is the one to go! Much more intuitive, everything you need for drawing and animating is in one place and easy to reach. The biggest advantage of Toonsquid is having vector brushes and shapes. Very well done Keiwan!

I’ve been using Dreams for months and love it, but I didn’t know Toonsquid was created by just ONE person. 7:49 That guy deserves my ten bucks on principle alone.
Thanks for the great breakdown video. Are you ambidextrous? Your stylus changes hands throughout the video and leads me to think you might be. Thanks again.

I like pocreate dreams more though....I'm usually drawn to it every time I'm inspired to animate. I can't rule out the lack of lasso tool in pdreams but I still like it and hope for the feature to be added. I use toonsquid for light motion graphics which in my opinion trumps in that department. All in all, both apps are great n their uniqueness.

[amandalee]

What about callipeg vs toonsquid? Which is better??

[yquenechdu]

Thank you very much, 8 month 8 months later, and still no update of Procreate Dreams, such a rudimentary drawing tool, no transformation tool, etc... Toonsquid has launched its beta test of its new version

[PixelSubstream]

I feel like trying to emphasize an intuitive and less-technically minded workflow works better in Procreate since it's okay for single illustrastions, but once you are working with frames and video encoding pipelines, the procreate approach is too fuddy duddy and it feels like Procreate Dreams doesn't really want to support granular and fine tuning with its lack of tools and precision.

[-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-]

The Developer for ToonSquid should be charging WAY more for his product.

[ARBMemes]

Is toonsquid havs scaling feature too ?

[denisl]

Bro made a better procreate dreams in has spare time alone than the procreate team did. Nuff said. Hope the guy also makes a procreate alternative

[thephilosopher]

Probably should just wait a year and then get procreate dreams while buying toon squid now
