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.
@@Tonabillity I haven’t had that issue, but I’m running it on a 6th gen iPad Pro 12.9” with a ton of ram. And maybe I haven’t taxed it as far as you have.

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.
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
Yes, everyone is familiar with the missing lasso tool. However, there is a workaround involving tracks that allows selection. Although I must admit it’s a huge hassle and can’t wait for them to develop a proper selection tool!
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.
The procreate UI is something that I just physically couldn’t overcome. I couldn’t tell what did what, which layer was which, what button did what, and how to do anything. Even watching the tutorials just left me scratching my head. Props to the people who figured out how to use it, because I just wanted to rip my hair out after a week of trying to use it.
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...
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’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’m a professional animator working on a 3 minute, 590 MB music video. When I play it on ToonSquid, it stutters and stops. Procreate Dreams plays it SMOOTHLY. Toonsquid is the goat all right. Most GASTLY OF ALL TIME!! 🙄
@@Tonabillity thanks for the review on procreate dreams I too am making a project on toonsquid and have not found any major problems in it Ofc the stuttering if quite noticeable but I really like the idea of vector brushes and the USE OF LASSO TOOL in my animations At the end of the day it is our personal options 😌
@@Op09687 I agree with you. For anyone who needs vectors or rigging, no doubt TS is the appropriate platform at the moment. It was sufficient for me while it lasted. But for decades my industry pals and I, have been dreaming of a mobile app that focuses on traditional frame by frame animation and the craft of actually “drawing”. I’m sure that eventually PD will adopt all of the expected tools used to enhance contemporary production pipelines - AND MORE. In fact, I heard that procreate is already eagerly developing an Apple Vision Pro version of their platform! In the interim, PD’s missing Lasso tool has been a bit of a blessing in disguise for me personally. It FORCES me to return to those basic, essential DRAWING skills that were diligently practiced before the Digital age emerged. By the time they hammer out their upgrades, my drafting skills will be much stronger💪🏾 I sincerely hope that ToonSquid is working to improve their performance issues as well. Their relentless lagging difficulties, screeched production to a halt before Procreate Dreams arrived. I hope you NEVER have to experience the frustrating problems that I did!
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!
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
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.
@@Tonabillitynot really but it helps me to draw more and more precisely through consistency. Animation techniques is all about problem solving so you just need to find something that works best for you….sorry for late response!

And there are indeed a plethora of apps that out-perform PD in that regard. However, I am only interested in ONE particular thing. Traditional (old-school) frame by frame Character Animation. But that technique is so old-fashioned that one must have the capacity to draw EXTREMELY well, with or without contemporary lasso tools. So most users go into a rage whenever I acknowledge that PD forces me to practice drawing better, without the aid of Cut & Past tools that I usually rely on. On the other hand, I find that PD’s navigation interface, so DYNAMIC and futuristic, that it simply cannot be beat, flaws and all! I’m constantly amazed by how fluidly I can move frames around non-linearly, and on the fly.

However, I’m highly aware that I’m in the minority of those who are hyper-focused on such ancient techniques. ToonSquid fans usually fly into a rage whenever I praise the benefits of Procreate Dreams so enthusiastically. I’ve been accused of spamming, trolling, and everything else! It’s very rare to see someone who appreciates the benefits of such a flawed program as much as I do, so thanks again for your unbiased input 👍🏽
@@Tonabillity you nailed it with remarkable honesty….I would love to see your work if you allowed…..I believe a community of artist and animators should be opened up for assistance, motivation, and also inspiration as well. I gave the ToonSquid & Callipeg guys an idea of having a monthly challenge as a means of promoting the app and also to keep it in people’s subconscious. Callipeg is already doing such which is good but I can’t use it cos it expensive for me right now. PDreams is serving its purpose real good and will only get better,…after all it’s just the beginning!
haven't tried toonsquid but procreate dreams really isn't that useable for me. I use procreate to do keyframe animation and then i import the frames for compositing in procreate dreams but even that is a chore in dreams and I only do it because then I can make the whole project on the ipad. If procreate dreams had a lasso/selection tool I would actually go through all the hoops and learn it fully thats the biggest deal breaker for me. I like that I can animate warps in it and the performance mode is neat
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.

Im so sorry but, you sound like you are about to cry 😭💀
That's a really great and through video of dreams, and 1st time seeing squid. Even though dreams still have some issues and are regularly fixing them through updates as regularly as they can. I believe dreams has the potential to be like it's sister app, procreate but for animation. & will get there hopefully soon. Great video, I like it a lot, & hope to soon see more videos on procreate dreams 🩷✨️💖😊
GROUPED LAYERS!!! Procreate lacks it.
