I knew it was possible but my brain could peace it together on how to do it! Glad somone already has it figured out! Thank you! Tracing already helped me learn so much with animation!
Thank you thank you for this video!! I prefer doing rough animation in a different program but am hoping to use procreate to clean in up. This technique may make that plausible.
I am animating my friend dancing. So I think I should seperate the pics into parts. Then put together in after effects! Thank you!! This helped alot bc I dont want to deal with photoshop or animate.
Exactly what I needed, thanks a ton!
This is the video that I've been searching for. Thank you!!
This is absolutely a lifesaver
*Fleischer Bros:* Behold! The live-actionturnedintoanimation-inator.
i have learned a few apple pen gesture that i never know from your video.Thank you very your sharing! they are very useful for me
Great stuff this is! And great explanation!
Thank you my good man, gonna rotoscope some stuff for Tiktok
Omg tysm this had let me do so many dancing edits!!
Hello, thanks for the good video. Question: when you import video, does Procreate cuts out frames or imports every frame from video?
Procreate imports every frame. I deleted some frames for a more animated look.
@@StayfDraws Thanks for your answer!
Great video, saved me ton of research time, many thanks brother
Very clever. Now I’m trying to think about what I’d like to do!
The possibilities are endless! ;)
@Stayf Draws it I need to either shorten the video or make it’s size smaller.. about how small and short does the video need to be for it to work?
Twiin Gamerz same
Twiin Gamerz it works with 7 seconds
Mizzerwizzer k thx
This was really helpful thank u!
...wow, how handy is that! I had no idea. AND Moho is my animation program, too! You are a beautiful man, Stayf. Thanks and thanks! Now to your next video...
Thanks for this great video!
This is awesome! Thank you for creating this video!
Could you please do a tutorial on adding green screen in procreate
For me you jumped over the most important bits-when you created the new frames/layers: Did you create one at a time? And where did you put them? At the top of the stack? Between the images? Does it even matter? And I guess you turned off each image layer after you traced it...or all at once at the end? Again, does it matter or not? This was all fudged over and so I’m really confused about the work flow.
Yes
You misspelled “thank you”. Learn how to ask for help with some gratitude for free information.
@@Crystal-xm6zu Good call. Thank you to the video producer. Still hoping for some answers.
thanks very much Stayf. This is super helpful. I want to create transparent reference pngs for a photoshop animation.
When ever I try it disappears:(
Tasha same
It worked months ago, but now it disappears
But I found another way to kinda do it. It’s not as good but still works.
Tasha can you tell me
it dissapears to me too ;-;
Excellent
Excuse me but when you insert a video will the audio on the video inserted can be heard?
No, only the video
Bless uuuuuuu❤❤❤
Cool
I would love to thank u so muchhh u don’t know how much u helped for real God bless uuuu❤ can u plz make a video on how to animate a whole story? Is there a to move body parts of a character without having to draw millions of frames ? And about adding sound effects voice over and visual effect for a movie to be uploaded how to do that plz after animating on procreate, I don’t have procreate dreams and won’t be able to afford it is there any other way?
For making animation with sound and animation you need Procreate Dreams or ToonSquid. In ToonSquid you can make animations with animating the parts of a character without drawing each frame. You can do the same in Procreate Dreams.
I’m still confused I did all the steps but when I try importing it says something about screen size
nikos kalogridis same
Me too! Help
nikos kalogridis Same
nikos kalogridis I fixed it by lowering the vid to 7 seconds :)
IzzyOwl my video is at 5 sec but still won’t work
thanks! other way is apply¨ magic mask¨ to your hand (in davinci resolve), and apply sketch effect and you have a very similar effect but,,, in seconds...
Thanks for sharing!
ty sir for the tuts.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Awesome! Let's do it again!
Dose it matter how long Bec it won’t let me do it
You kinda look like Mads Mikkelsen. That’s a compliment by the way, that man is FINE
Stephf I’m struggling everytime i press upload I’ll see the video in the canvas then when I tap on it it disappears please help me
You see how one of the videos was kinda faded out? That keeps happening to me and it won’t let me import the video! I lowered the video to three seconds to test it but it still won’t work! What am I doing wrong? I adjusted the size too!
Perfect.. thank you 🤩🤩
It say the vid to big I changed the size ,any times but it did not work
It's sad that they still haven't done anything about this :( It's not remotely viable to have this kind of workflow for rotoscoping. Reference videos taking up one layer would be a gamechanger.
I switched to ToonSquid for the animation. It is much easier. Watch my new video. th-cam.com/video/kcfWj_ZYGvw/w-d-xo.html
It dont work for me. Is the file to big?. How big is max for procreate?
Hi! I’m a beginner. Not sure if I’ve missed something but just not sure how do you hide the pixels from the imported video? When I hide the layer it also hides the tracing lines I have just made.
Same doubt
Hello guys, I have a question, it took 3 hours for only 2-3 seconds, do you know any way to draw faster layer to layer?
Seantex how did you import a video into procreate? I can’t do it
thank you
Thanks
nice
Can you use TH-cam videos too?
You can, but then you have to rip them. You need to be careful with that because of copyrights.
Is this applicable on android phone?
No, unfortunately not.
What app is that?
We are trying to import but it’s not highlighting can you help on this.thanks
Sorry mine iPad Air 2019
Try and make the clip Shorter. Maybe 3 secondes, maybe the video file is too big.
@@StayfDrawsthanks but i got it but not working like your video ,we tryed to import before create project direclty import.
I really want to animate something but it says my video is big? It’s only 5 seconds? Could someone please help
An HD video (1920 pixels x 1080pixels) can handle 250 frames. That is 10 secondes if your video runs at 25 fps. If you have an HD video that runs at 60 fps (300 layers), you can not import it. A 4K video (3840 pixels x 2160 pixels) can only handle 60 layers. You need to somehow reduce the pixels or seconds of your video to import it into Procreate.
Stayf Draws Thanks so much!
Stayf Draws I’ve tried everything but the video still won’t import.
Great video... super chill
고마워요 유용한 정보였어요 ㅠㅠ
Thanks for the tutorial! The first time I did this, it imported at 26 fps, and it was really good, but the second time I did this, it imported at the maximum fps, and only included a split second. I do not know how to change the frame rate without slowing the animation down, or deleting the frames in between, which gives me the same amount to footage anyway. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm just wondering if I'm missing something, or if there's a reason why some videos have a higher frame rate than others? Sorry if I sound somewhat demanding this is really good advice otherwise
Hello Serena, I answer your question in this video th-cam.com/video/NxkXb2CupJ0/w-d-xo.html
@@StayfDraws wow, thank you!
Importing it doesn’t work for me
Me neither
Does it turn grey?
It could because of the resolution, as the more pixels an image has on Procreate, the less layers it can have (the maximum being 400). Unless it decreases the resolution based on the amount of frames.
Nice
Ok, problem, they are just greyed out and I can't import them...what do now.....
I'm looking to animate a music video. Yes, a full music video. I know, I'm nuts. Would this process work for a 3 1/2 minute song?
You can do it in Procreate, but there are limits to the layers you can use and you have no audio you can sync your music to.
@@StayfDraws could I export to Final Cut Pro after editing?
Yes you can. But you can also rotoscope in Photoshop or Adobe Animate
Amazing!
For anyone not being able to add it because it's too big... Trimming the video to about 6 to 7 seconds usually works...
The reason is about the size of the file itself. Try to find a compressor on the app store, or on a website that will compress the video for you.
Ezgif.com and going to Gif Optomizer is a lifesaver in that aspect, trust me.
iwannagotopluto thank you so much!!
Now if there was away to have a set image as the background instead of a flat colour, that would be amazing.
Not at this moment. I hope Procreate will incorporate that in the next version. If you want a picture as a background you have to duplicate it for every animated frame and merge it with that animated layer.
There is. Press photo when you enter the app and select the photo you want. Either that or Import a photo from the tool menu
it worked for me last time but when I try it again it won’t finish importing? like it’ll just pause and I’ll get so mad pls
The files size is probably too big. Procreate has it's limits. Try a smaller clip.
Does it work on procreate pocket?
It also works on Procreate Pocket, but you have to keep the video short. Like 2 seconds
How do I add it into an animation?
It says to reduce the size and length but it will ruin the video if I do
Please help
Thank you!!
Gabby Ayyyyyy gang
I wont let me,do you know why?
It is probably to big. Try a video with less frames.
@@StayfDraws it still does not let me, i have procreate 4.3.9 .it seems though procreate 5 has it as a default option but it is not availiable yet i think
Eleftheria P. It doesn’t work in 5 either, I have a video of 1mb and it’s too big.
Hmm i followed all the steps and when i imported it and went in, it just disappeared
Julie Kyungju Kim doesn’t work as of 2020 :/
NightLight great! (Sarcasm 😑)
NightLight ughhh
Can u change The video to other Size then screen size?? It goed in screen size but i want a different size :/
Hello Jikkē, I answer your question in this video th-cam.com/video/NxkXb2CupJ0/w-d-xo.html
What if when I am trying to do it, videos lights dark and I can’t use it. Pls help
Try to open your photos app and Procreate i a splitscreen. Make a Procreate Canvas at 1920 pixels x 1080 pixels and drag the video on to Procreate from your Photos app.
Stayf Draws big thanks, sad that it don’t works with videos
It says "Cannot import, cut the file or relength it......
Minecrafter 7101 7 seconds or less works i think
Can you show me how to export animations and not just pictures? :(
Can I add this animation to my blog I do for friends.
Thanks you internet guy
It said I don’t have the right size
How do import a 15 second video?? Please respond
I have no storage
I would but You can’t do that, procreate doesn’t let you upload videos that big. Even 1 MB is too big. I can’t find anything to download and animate smaller than that.
Gacha Rose did you come from tiktok?
Neely Delosh I came from TikTok 😐
I don’t have and will NEVER FUCKING GET TIKTOK
*FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE*
Gacha Rose try a video compressor on google
Well i imported something 107mb
Great video! Just a question, do you know how to use onion skin on frames when you have imported a video? (Like you did in the video) It doesn’t seem to allow the same process of using onion skins as it does when you draw frames without having imported video? 🤔 I want to rotoscope an effect that gets larger as it leaves but would love the ability to onion skin the previous frame in order to get it more exact! 😀
Hello Aften, I answer your question in this video th-cam.com/video/NxkXb2CupJ0/w-d-xo.html
I didn’t work for me😕
Maybe, if you paid yourself more? 🤔
@@jashzeromake no sense
Muito bom ✨🙏🏽
R u Dutch?
Ja ik ben Nederlands.
Stayf Draws wist het all van je accent😂😂😂
997th like ^^
What if my video is short and still has so many layers?
It had 250 layers for less than 5 sec video
If I have that many layers I will delete every other layer, so you have 125 layers to work with. Then set the fpds to 12. In 2D animation most of the keyframes are held 2 frames. That is called to animate on two's.
Stayf Draws thank you!
My procreate do it not
flipaclip is wayyyyyyy easier
Does not work
just talk dutch mann
Ok for anyone wondering if it didn’t let you import don’t go to a canvas and THEN push import as soon as you get to the Home Screen, push import, select your video and then it works! Anyway nice video even though I’m a year late😂
Thank you!!!!
Thank you!
