Watch This Before You Open Procreate Dreams

Procreate Dreams launched today, but before you start working in it, there’s just a few quick things I want to help you understand so you can get animating. The flip side of an app that’s really revolutionary with its approach to animation is that revolutionary means it’s going to be different. BECAUSE everyone is so excited to jump into this, I just want to help you navigate, since it’s not laid out like really any other animation app I’ve used before.As we announced before, the plan is to animate the majority of our visual effects shots for Stormfellers in Dreams, and there’s a lot more I have planned to use Dreams for, so plenty to come to stay tuned on. I will say, and this is not based on any insider information, more just, precedent and intuition, I am looking forward to if not expecting, a LOT more features, both already in Procreate and otherwise, to be added to Dreams in a relatively short amount of time.

Why am I emotional over the "have fun dreaming" change to "have fun creating". Dreams really does feel like a huge potential shift in the industry

[ldGuy]

tutorials like yours will go a long way to help people understand how the differences make procreate dreams really good

Legitimately never thought I’d be able to step towards animation but this actually makes it seem doable.

Just gotta commit myself to taking the time to learn the app rather than wasting hours brute forcing my way around the program like I did with Procreate (although the ease at which I was able to complete projects the *correct* way almost made it worth it).

I've been using Flipaclip for years and while it's improved over time, not having clipping layers or a camera to move was a big annoyance for me. I can't wait to try out Dreams! (Even if I'm still a novice with ProCreate in general)

I have to say, it’s been an absolute blast so far! Animating has been so easy… but… the rendering. It’s been a few mins now since I put my first 1 min animation to render. And it has not gotten to 1%. I’m hoping that it’s one of those things where it suddenly jumps forward but this might stop me for using it as much

Edit: it was a software issue, they released and update today that renders the animation in seconds. (thank god)

Hey Brookes! It was really nice meeting you at Lightbox! I can't wait to get started on dreams animating my characters!

[scubasteve]

Just blew my mind with the layer separation on the timeline.

AT LAST a quality Dreams tutorial that zooms in on the controls and functions.

Thank you, Brooks, for taking the extra time to let us see what you are clicking on. , ,,Rowby.

Oh man, great video Bagel! I’m not even done yet and I’m so excited! We’ve needed a program like this for years and your introduction to the features is so easy to follow! We’re gonna see so many more people have access to animating, so excited to see the future!!

This was very helpful! Thank you for sharing. Procreate was a learning curve for me in the very beginning, but it’s long since become the most comfortable app for me to work in. I anticipate this will feel similar after the initial learning curve, and there’s certain advantages too in getting to grow alongside a software as new things are added. Meanwhile, I’m also taking some animation fundamentals courses, and I’m going to keep having fun learning. 😊👍

This app is amazing, but I’m wonder where all the basic tools are, like lasso/free hand tool and moving drawing layers, and select/automatic are? why can’t we use gaussian blur with layers? I know dreams has been out for less then 24 hours, but its makes no sense to me why they hyped it up so much just for to have nothing. I thought you were going to be able to draw just like procreate and do all the fine details with the tool bar all WHILE animating. but you cant, and I really hope they update it soon.

I obviously am not giving up on the app, I know it’s gonna get better but in the politest way possible, im so confused as to why no one thought of this before releasing ?

[tridek]

Wow! The warm light + blue shirt combo is really working for you in this video Brooks!

[sylvanshroom]

I am so excited for this program!! Ive wanted to dabble in little animations for a while and this looks so much simpler than most other programs.

Also lol @ the irony of getting a skillshare ad for animating in procreate in the midroll

[victorart-]

You explained the characteristics of Procreat Dreams well.

[coopt]

Totally one of the best tutorials I’ve seen so far, I’m looking for frame by frame and you showed me tricks for that where others have just showed how to move pictures. Thank you!

[SubSandwhichStudios]

This is a really nice tutorial! I’ve only been familiar with FlipaClip for like 5 years, and once I got procreate dreams, I was so confused! I’m still not sure how to activate drawing assist though, so it’s hard for me to draw shapes.

[SenElric]

The title may seem clickbait but, I tried moving stuff in dreams and didn’t know what to do 😂
Lesson learn 😅 thanks for sharing! ❤ wish to see more videos of you playing with the app

[JesseBakerH]

I had no idea how to select multiple layers (or group) until you showed it! Very nice.

It's so frustrating how the devs LOVE to bury features 2-3 clicks into menus with almost no indication that it's there, you can tell they still need to get some feedback to improve the new user experience for sure..

[ASMRbyJIO]

I got the hang of it but I need a lasso tool

[Iddstar]

This is so helpful! I’m so excited to dig into this app!
