You're a goddamn hero for making this video for even just the frame extension tip. I wish there were more features for batch frame changes, adjustment layers, and "add frame before" quick button, a close gap option or even just a way to move multiple frames that aren't grouped. I get that it's early in release and that they've been working HARD on this all the way up to release. But damn. Thanks again for all your videos!
@@Imagine100-kw7hn I don’t think you can 3d animate in adobe animate, as all i have seen it do is 2d animation. But what a lot of animators do in a limited 2d software is that they put shadows, ridges, etc. to make their animation to have a 3d feel.so if you are stuck, you could always do that! I’m sure you could find lots of examples on TH-cam!
This is a small detail that might help someone (and I was expecting you to mention it when you did the one finger + pen slide on the timeline): - Finger press while in drawing mode activates de color picker. - Finger press while moving objects activates snapping (also and specially interesting while adjusting anchor point).
Re: Flipbook - One thing I've noticed that I haven't heard other's talk about (but haven't watched all of the videos about it and I doubt I'm the only one to notice) but In flipbook mode, you don't need to click the "+" to move to the next frame. Dreams automatically adds a blank slide to the right, so just click that. The plus is only necessary for inserting additional frames between already existing ones. I only mention this because the few tuts I've seen all say that clicking the "+" is how you add the next frame This just makes using flipbook mode a TON quicker
Thank you so much for showing how to expose inbetween frames 😭 It was driving me crazy when I was trying to figure out how to do it. I'm feeling way better knowing there's a way to do that now. Really excited to experiment and have fun on the app! Thanks again!! 💯
also so happy to learn how you can add extra frames by selecting the edge and then dragging with your finger. I did need practising on how to properly select the edge of a frame. it kept selecting the entire image or the menu kept popping up. (at one point I tried to to select the edge with my fingers instead of the pen, which is also possible, but then if i tried to drag with my other finger it started undoing things :o I would not recommend that!). the trick is: you just really have to click close to the edge! don't know if this is mentioned somewhere already, but if you add frames on a layer that is in a group, the length of the group does not automatically adjust. your drawings are still there, you just have to stretch out the group layer to show them. thanks so much for the tutorials and tips Alex!!! and thanks Procreate Team for the great app that will only get better and better :D
All these people moaning about Dreams being a disappointment!! Do t you recall when procreate first came out? I’ve been using it from day one. They made SO many upgrades and amazing new things over time. I think dreams used well with procreate is actually really really cool!! I can’t wait to see what the next upgrade is also like. I also love that this animation software is user friendly, unlike some of the more complex ones.
Followed your eye clipping mask with performance mode as i warched this video and i loved it! So smooth, reminds me of motion graphics. I appreciate this so much, it helps me. I was getting frustrated 😂 lol
Thank you so much for the tips, those are exactly pain points that I haven't figured out especially how to disable the finger paint, driving me nuts :) Have purchased the master class BTW, making my own animation has been my dream since I was a child, and now with Procreate Dreams, my dream is no longer just a dream. Looking forward to the launch of the master class!
Im really enjoying procreate dreams. Animating is really magical to me, loved the way you manually made the eyes move by sliding the pen back and forth. I’m trying to finish an animation too but a the animation got longer in combination of leaving it aside for too long made me rustic 😅 So I appreciate this video 😊 I think procreate dreams is awesome and works super well on Apple pro 😉
In ibis paint x we can copy an image and paste it everywhere we want. That tool is very essential, i think. If we draw a circle and want the same in the next frame, we don't need to draw again. Just copy and paste it. It can be edited later.
Mr. I want to ask, why in procreate dream the layer for drawing cannot be moved from bottom to top, for example, if I draw layer 1 and then create a new layer, namely layer 2, I cannot move layer 1 to the top.😊😊 Are there any solutions
I have a question what do you recommend for animating multiple characters. Do you put multiple character on one track with multiple layers. Or use multiple tracks each with its own character.?
I felt frustrated about not being able to rotate objects, but I learnt that there's a curve that appears at the bottom right corner which help you do that!
Great tips! Thanks Alex. Is there a lasso tool feature like in Procreate? Moving a whole drawing works well but I can't find a way to select a part of a drawing to move it around.
Why on Earth didn't they just add the ability to add more layers for the animation mode and base procreate? Just do that. Add some onion skin options. They didn't need to reinvent the wheel just build on the wheel they already had
Thanks Alex. I wish procreate dreams would render videos with a transparent background without having to bring them as images first to after effects. It would be a hugeee time saver.
Immediate purchase. Thanks Alex for the code - I don't even own this software yet but I am interested in anything you make of an instructional nature because your teaching materials are so decent.
I have a question! Do you know how to change the sensitivity on the preform/record feature? I am trying to animate something useful it but it keeps smoothing it out too much!
This looks awesome. I'm a total beginner to animation, do I need to buy an ipad or is there an alternative, with the same price class, using a Wacom tablet ?
Thank you so much for the videos! I’m having fun learning the app. One question on the brush texture. I noticed “dynamic brush scaling” is set to on for you under the preferences menu. Have you tested to see if the stroke behaves more like you’d expect with that turned off?
With Procreate Dreams I want to start my creative journey. So complete beginner here. I am just wondering if it is everything you need for let’s say creating an anime or cartoon? Or should you preferably do the drawings in normal procreate? Btw great videos, great teaching !
Thank you for sharing this, I am diving into procreate dreams first time. But I expected to have an option to record the drawing (like drawing a frame/caligraphy and recording the trace of the pencil) . Is this possible?
Hello. I'm a new started at learning animations and i want to draw a ball which goes straight and fasten its speed; so i draw a ball and when i want to duplicate and move it; it's not like procreate. isn't there a way to select and move an object frame by frame ourselves in procreate dreams; just like in prpcreate???
Oh thanks so much. I'll make an announcement once when I have a solid date locked in. Keep an eye on my community section or you can follow me on gumroad if you''d like to get an email about it :)
Hello I love your videos and I've been animating along side you so thank you for your tutorials! I was wondering is there any way to get straight lines in procreate dreams like you can in procreate? 😊
Hey Alex! Is there a way of applying a flat colour to the timeline/layer below the line work? As in a quick fill instead of manually painting inside the shape
@@mikeshinoda703 no probs! I presume in the future we'll be able to use reference layers and rearrange layers in the drawing mode which will be a more streamlined way to do things

Exciting new folks! I've just released early access to my in depth Procreate Dreams course: alexgrigg.studio/procreate-dreams
Excited to dive into your course and learn from you! Just made the purchase and can't wait to get started
Does the price increase later? I am a bit short on spending money at the moment :) So I was thinking of checking it out later
@@AlexGriggAnimation I'm completely beginner, will it be helpful for me or it is for professionals animators ?

Does that work only for Pencil 2.o?
@@dplj4428 can't say for sure because I only have the first version of it, but I can't see why it wouldn't. It's a finger+simple drag of the pencil.

I know you can export drawing from procreate to procreate dream… but why can’t we draw perfect shapes like circles and straight lines
You have restored my faith in this app ... Thank you
Love this thanks man . One artist to another love the inspiration!

procreate dreams NEEDS a MAJOR update YESTERDAY
Love the perform option. I hope flipbook gets the stabilization option with the brushes.
Nice. If you have a brush that you like in procreate with lots of stability you can drag it over and you're good to go. Is that what you're after?
@@AlexGriggAnimation Kinda. I just wish you could edit every brush in Dreams. I like to streamline(?) the brushes a bit 😊
@@AlexGriggAnimation Ooh. I get it now. I can drag an edited brush over to Dreams. Thank you!
ohh I asked the same thing and just came to this comment and understand, maybe, the solution, thanks
Thank you for showing how to expand a frame besides the last one 👍🙏🙏
Cool moustache.
I wish blank tracks below the stage were a different colour to the background. They’re hard to see..
thank you Alex. you are my hero 🥺
Mr. I want to ask, why in procreate dream the layer for drawing cannot be moved from bottom to top, for example, if I draw layer 1 and then create a new layer, namely layer 2, I cannot move layer 1 to the top.😊😊 Are there any solutions

@@AlexGriggAnimation Owh thnk U Alex🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀
I found the same problem yesterday, I hope they are going to fix this sooner than later
Along with importing brushes you can import whole brush sections to it as well, so you can import like 20 brushes in one go
Thank you for the tips! And I absolutely love your art style!
Love the tip on the quirky behavior!
Whaaaaattt mind blown by just the first tip haha. Why is this so cryptic?!?!
I screamed at the first one hahah
I have a question what do you recommend for animating multiple characters.
Do you put multiple character on one track with multiple layers. Or use multiple tracks each with its own character.?
Thanks for the video. I think, what we really need is a simple loop function...
I've been trying so hard to figure out how to import brushes and do clipping lol, thank you SO MUCH
Eeek ! That brush scale is a definite deal breaker,
thanks Alex.
I felt frustrated about not being able to rotate objects, but I learnt that there's a curve that appears at the bottom right corner which help you do that!
Yes! haha it took me a while to figure that out :)
Thank you for a secret tips !!
Someday if they merge roughanimator style and procreate dream together could help us to draw a lot more 😊😊😊
Thank you so much! I love the way you explain.
Great tips! Thanks Alex. Is there a lasso tool feature like in Procreate? Moving a whole drawing works well but I can't find a way to select a part of a drawing to move it around.
I saw on their instagram that it's coming ASAP. fingers crossed!
thank you for asking i was wondering the same! and thank you Alex for all your tutorials and tips you're a life savior 💪
Same here...❤😢
Thanks! Useful to see the way you use tools together for a better workflow
Thank you so much for the transparency tip!
You are so welcome!
How do you make a circle that you drew perfectly rounded like in the previeous procreate?
I think they're still working on the new quickshape tool for dreams.
Got it thunks (:
I don't have procreate :( but I would like to learn more about animation, I hope this happens in the future, thanks for share your knowledge with us!
This video is golden!!!! I needed this badly thank you! Is there anything for opacity??? My favorite new channel!!!
You can change the opacity of a layer in drawing mode. You can also add an opacity key frame to the track by clicking the 🎬 then filter > opacity.
0:29 expending anim. 2:15 clipping mask
I love you Alex Grigg!
Why on Earth didn't they just add the ability to add more layers for the animation mode and base procreate? Just do that. Add some onion skin options. They didn't need to reinvent the wheel just build on the wheel they already had
I learned so much with your videos. Is there a release date for your dreams course?
Thanks Alex. I wish procreate dreams would render videos with a transparent background without having to bring them as images first to after effects. It would be a hugeee time saver.
Yes! There are always limitations with transparency in quicktime files but it'd be awesome to have the option.
I noticed yesterday i could hover my Pencil 2 above the screen and i could pan back and forth even in the full screen view without pen on screen.
Immediate purchase. Thanks Alex for the code - I don't even own this software yet but I am interested in anything you make of an instructional nature because your teaching materials are so decent.
Oh that's so kind. Thanks so much 😊
Very helpful! Is there a way to adjust opacity for the track? I’ve been having to adjust it frame by frame
Put all the frames in a group, then you can use all the different filters like opacity in the action menu
Usually I group the drawings on the track and then adjust the group opacity
Great tips but quickshape is not on this app?
Quick question can you draw with your finger in procreat dreams
You can do the same thing to import brushes to import color palettes
I sure hope they add all the base functionality that's missing
I have a question! Do you know how to change the sensitivity on the preform/record feature? I am trying to animate something useful it but it keeps smoothing it out too much!
I can't wait to see what he uses that green tape for 🤩
Clearly it's for collecting dirt and grime off my desk, as demonstrated by all the dirt and grime I forgot to remove from it
This looks awesome. I'm a total beginner to animation, do I need to buy an ipad or is there an alternative, with the same price class, using a Wacom tablet ?
Hey Alex! Love the video!! do you mind me asking what brushes you use for procreate?
I use a lot of the default ones. The extra ones I'm enjoying at the moment are from true grit. Id like to make my own soon
Is there any time limit for the course of mastering procreate dreams
No! You'll have lifetime access to it :)
thank you my hero❤❤❤
Thanks For Your tutorial,sir,❤❤❤ I loved🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the videos! I’m having fun learning the app. One question on the brush texture. I noticed “dynamic brush scaling” is set to on for you under the preferences menu. Have you tested to see if the stroke behaves more like you’d expect with that turned off?
Good spot! But no, that setting just affects the size of the brush relative to your zoom not the tiling resolution.
@@AlexGriggAnimation Ah, got it. That makes sense.

Btw great videos, great teaching !
Awesome to hear. At the moment regular procreate has more powerful drawing tools so I use it for design and then animate in dreams.
excellent, thanks. is there a button so you can click through the timeline one frame at a time?
thank you so much this is so helpful oh my goodness
That resolution difference with scaling at 1:50 must be a bug? It’s really bad…

so helpful!! thank you.
