I'm in a process of creating my first short animation as well. I'm using Procreate myself for now. Sending you love and luck as I know how hectic and time consuming it can be.
Very relatable information we are making some scenes in procreate dreams as well and are wondering if you can go more in depth about what problems were arising when you were exporting and were they done in 4k background the pixelation you mentioned is something that has worried us and has made us rethink if we should just do everything in a dedicated animation software like toon boom.
so I was exporting in 4k, the reg. wide screen. I didn't mess with too many other properties than that. This pixelation issue was not as prominent with other brushes, even soft round, until it was extreme CU. The brush- MY brush that I use for everything, The Syrup and the one I created (Syrup Adjusted) always has this very obvious jagged problem from the start. This brush just doesn't like Dreams. Its clear through other animators work that they commissioned, that its not a problem, however they are not transparent about wether or not they did all drawing work in Dreams, and not Procreate and upload, like I have had to do. I think Aaron Blaise was seen doing the flip book but in a pencil tool that is a bit more forgiving to this raster issue. All I know is I could not just wait around for Dreams to fix all the things, so ultimately I have changed all my software to finish this work.
Thanks for the reply I very much agree with you about the quirks within dreams I think for Animation vector is just probably the way to go although I find myself having a hard time letting go because of my love for procreate, I also think in the penguin animation by Blaise they probably did some composition in another program and that sucks that they didn’t disclose that, not cool, I’ve been using dreams a lot and although it has it’s quirks I have to say if you stick with it it becomes very intuitive which Is what I like. Because other programs are extremely bloated but In the case of animation time is precious and to work on a project inside of dreams for hours or days to only find out when you export it does not look the same or render weirdly can be extremely disheartening, keep up the good work really like how transparent you are with the obstacles your running into while making your animation.

Thanks so much, right back at you :)
Great work!
