Hi David. This is a great tutorial. Besides explaining things so well, I personally like your voice which is so comforting to listen to. Please keep up with good work. You deserve millions of subscribers not just thousands :)
Thanks for the great compliment! I really appreciate it! Maybe I'll hit a million subscribers by the end of the year. Only 998,111 to go! :) Thanks for watching!
What about drawing everything on separate layers in Procreate first??? Then pull into Dreams for animation??? Like the name… Procreate… Dreams…. implies???
Thanks for this video, I have been working in Procreate Dreams since release date and I am still having some struggles to get the results that I want. Your video cleared up a couple of problems I was having.
Good tutorial. Enough shown to get going and to realise it convoluted crap. Tracks?, layers?, can't specify length of frame (length 1 or whole project). The fact that the length of project is specified at the start. Can't play from flip book, each frame in flip book can have different number of layers, can only see 1 track in flip book. An absolute nightmare. Recording movement is the only decent thing about this app and they built a lot of below par animation features around that feature thinking people would go wow. Toonsquid, Callipeg, flipaclip and rough animator feel like a dream to work with compared to this.
Thanks for watching! I just created a video comparing Procreate Dreams and Blender Grease Pencil. I have only played around with the demos for ToonSquid, Callipeg, and FlipaClip. I may check out ToonSquid, Callipeg, and Rough Animator to see which works best for me; however, I probably won't bother with FlipaClip since it is a subscription-only app. Thanks for suggesting those!
I probably wouldn't say complicated, but I don't like working in it as much as a do a program with a mouse and keyboard, like Toon Boom or Blender Grease Pencil.
I bought Toon Boom several years ago, so I feel like paying the perpetual license upgrade each year is better than the subscription model; however, if someone is just starting out, I would would probably recommend Blender Grease Pencil (free) or Moho, which is reasonably priced and has a very passionate development team. If you are strictly doing frame by frame animation, Krita is also a good free choice.

That works, too. :)

I would like to do colors on a different layers. I agree with that
Thanks for watching. I'm considering creating a short video on using layers in Procreate Dreams.

Seems way too complicated

I’ve tried toon boom for a while. It was a good program but couldn’t pay for the subscription
Great advice! I also made a video about this here: th-cam.com/video/IZx6QU7gkXg/w-d-xo.html

@@davidpikedesigns 🤔Moho is powerful, especially if you need vector tools. ✌️🍷🎩🎩🎩
