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 RUclips!
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
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!
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.
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 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!
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.
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? 😊
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 !
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 ?
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 :)
I don't think so. If the design is simple you don't need a lot of anatomy. If you want to do 2d animation that feels like it has weight you usually need to be able to draw and think about the 3d shapes that make up the characters though. Spheres, cubes, cylinders ECT.
Awesome video Alex !! Have a quick question .. I Tried using the sequential images export without background, and used it again in dreams , it seems to work , for less than 100 images , for more I have to import them in batches of 20 or 10.. again when they come into the track they are all on 3s or 4s and have to batch squeeze then into single frames. I managed to squeeze the 1st batch of around 20 frames by selecting the batch by drawing the usual flaming line over then all and holding one finger on edge of a frame and pushing the other end of the frame with other finger , BUT it doesn’t seem to work again 😅the other bunch seems to sqeeze into single frames but with a space between all the frames .. then it’s a headache deleting those spaces and getting them all lined up together as single frames .. GOSH sorry if I’ve confused you 😅I’m still trying to find a way to get the whole sequence export to fit back into dreams ..why ? Mainly because the number of tracks gets reduced a lot and I can add other effects to main action.. and than avoid that message which says “unable to render animation etc “
Ah wow, yeh I've never tried to import such a long sequence. It sounds like you've tried all the tricks I would have tried. Does it work differently if you create a new track for the second and third batch? You may have noticed that dreams tries to evenly space out each drawing across the timeline. The only time it doesnt do that is when you have a timeline that can't fit all the frames on it. In that case it automatically sets the frame length to one and lets them go beyond the end of the timeline. If you import them all to a shorter project and then change your project to the correct length you can skip the step of retiming them. It sounds like a glitch to me. Its worth contacting support so they can have it on their radar.
@@AlexGriggAnimation yep that’s the thing I did finally , so it turns out that it’s easy to squeeze the frames on 3s or 4s into single frames , if I select the whole batch and without grouping etc , I hold right finger on right corner of one of the frames and after that hold down the other end ( of same frame ) and here the thing , I must only shift/slide/skid the right finger to the left, and walla the whole long batch shrinks to single frames and all glued to each other just as it came in! After that just select all and group. Do the same with the next bunchetc and keep them all on a track. These are like baked goods , with nothing more to do on them. And around this main action , above and below all kinds of magic can be added … the one thing that I can’t make sense of is the message which pops up often saying ‘ can’t render this animation , check highlighted tracks ‘ and I don’t see any highlights on any layers either
Thanks yea that’s exactly what the issue was. I hadn’t added color to the eye shape! lol it worked perfect once I did. Looking forward to more of your tutorials
Hey, I love Alex's Videos! Does anyone know where I can scroll through 2D hand drawn animations for Inspiration? I really want to start to animate in Procreate Dreams 💕 Greetings from Berlin, Germany.
Hi i just need help with the draw feature the pressure of my Apple Pencil is very low so i have to make the line 5 times for it to show there was a setting for this on procreate but for procreate dreams I cant draw at all please help and let me know if this happens to you
Is there a feature for adjusting the opacity of a track? Right now I have to go frame by frame and adjust every single layer opacity manually it’s so inefficient. I don’t get the point of launching dreams if they don’t even have track opacity as an option.
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
Oh, well, it seems that you did not understand what I said. Well, I felt lazy to translate what you said. Well, I said, let them translate what you said 😅, so I was saying that your explanation is very beautiful and I thank you for the effort you put into all your videos 👍, I am using the translator now.
hi Alex, your tips and first class were great, It helps you understand the complexity we can achieve, I already subscribe for your new masterclass, excited... I was wondering if in that course you will cover the use of the stabilization in brushes, because I can´t find anything regarding that, now I can only make crooked and shakey lines ( :"( very sad ) you can´t put the finger and have perfect circles like in procreate, righ?. Is something that can´t be done in this app??
Hi Diana, thanks so much! You can create a stabilised brush in procreate and drag it over to Dreams if you like. I'm sure they'll bring that functionality to Dreams at some point. Also no there isnt a quick shape function yet but I've seen them mention on their instagram that its something planned :) Because its so easy to bring drawings across from procreate I sometime the quickshapes in procreate first and drag them over. Not ideal for something you're drawing over and over though
Hello - really useful video , especially with the scaling eye as I tried to figure it out for a long time 😊 How can I pre-order your course? It says on the Gumroad that it has sold out - thank you!
Oh thanks so much! I'm trying to build a nice little website for the course at the moment so I've closed the Gumroad orders but I think you should be able to order from this link learn-with-alex-grigg.teachable.com/p/mastering-procreate-dreams That'll also give you instant access to almost all the lessons. Just use the code I've put up there to get the pre-order discount
do you know how to copy layers onto other frames? cause i’m tryna animate but my line art is basically the same with small edits (eyes blinking, character moving up and down) this was easy with sketching since it’s messy but i have no idea how to do line art on top. i tried copy and pasting the layer on the timeline but it doesn’t have the sketch layer underneath
I think there are some hacky ways to do it but no easy way. It sounds like the lasso tool, copy paste etc are the biggest priority for the team to update. They made a post about the road map on their website the other day.
I don’t understand why most of the features for this app weren’t told to me by the actual app or the people who made it but by learning from others who figured it out. If it’s meant to be a kind of beginner’s animation application then it should be way more clear how the program actually works. At least provide a better intro/tutorial
THANKS ALEX! This is such an important video! I never realized that the ENABLE PAINt WIth FINGER overrode the draw with APPLE PENCIL setting on my Ipad. This affects both DREAMS and Procreate and should keep you from making thousands of inadvertent accidental marks scarring your artwork in future.
If you're importing a png with no alpha channel and you want to remove the background (greenscreen style) Dreams might not be the best app for that currently. If you want to export a png with a transparent background you just need to set teh background to transparent and make sure you dont have any other layers turned on
Dreams is a huge disappointment. They weren’t ready to launch. Almost all of the most important tools from procreate are missing ! Thank you for the tips though. Great videos.
i dont understand why procreate dreams is so expensive. and theres complaints how its not even good, £20??? ive already bought procreate why do i need to buy it again for 20 just to animate?
i’ll be honest i’m quite disappointed with dreams, not having a select and transform tool and not being able to get perfect shapes just by holding the pen down like we could in procreate is so annoying
I think most of the issues with dreams will be resolved with time. Since it's still new and needs to be a bit more fleshed out. I do see quite a bit of potential in this app.
Thank you for sharing. I still struggle with drawing in Dreams due to many missing tools. I hope they can fix it in the next update. btw this is my new simple animation in dreams ruclips.net/video/GDt7tQJUoQg/видео.html
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
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
Exciting new folks! I've just released early access to my in depth Procreate Dreams course: alexgrigg.studio/procreate-dreams

Thank you so much for the transparency tip!
You are so welcome!
How do you draw a straight line? Doesn’t seem to work like Procreate does.
I learned so much with your videos. Is there a release date for your dreams course?
You can do the same thing to import brushes to import color palettes
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
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 (:
Quick question can you draw with your finger in procreat dreams
Would you please show me how to make birds fly.
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.

If you want to animate you must know advanced human anatomy for character animation ?
I don't think so. If the design is simple you don't need a lot of anatomy. If you want to do 2d animation that feels like it has weight you usually need to be able to draw and think about the 3d shapes that make up the characters though. Spheres, cubes, cylinders ECT.

How to remove background from png image in procreate dreams?
If you're importing a png with no alpha channel and you want to remove the background (greenscreen style) Dreams might not be the best app for that currently. If you want to export a png with a transparent background you just need to set teh background to transparent and make sure you dont have any other layers turned on
When i wasted my money on this app the first thing i thought was "WHERE IS THE EVERYTHING"
Dreams is a huge disappointment. They weren’t ready to launch. Almost all of the most important tools from procreate are missing ! Thank you for the tips though. Great videos.
True
I love it so far but it’s highly dependent on the regular procreate app. The drawing on procreate dreams doesn’t have the same feel.
Agreed. But I see some potential. The warping features are nice.
The issue is that the procreate team isn’t an animation team and from what I’ve heard, didn’t really consult animators before launch
People when a program that is in its 1.0 version acts like a 1.0 version 😢
So I spent 20 pound on a pen just to group and I could’ve done with my hand I would say so much right now but for my and ure sake I wont
Be happy that now you have something to draw your animations with? 😂❤
i dont understand why procreate dreams is so expensive. and theres complaints how its not even good, £20??? ive already bought procreate why do i need to buy it again for 20 just to animate?
You can animate in procreate if you like! It works pretty well:)
Hi
👋
the pixelated brushes are so irritating like i want the best quality possible if i work hard for a project 😭 guess i gotta draw only when i zoom in?
I think it's a way to keep things responsive when you zoom out. But yeh I think they're working on it
✨🤸⭐⭐⭐
Ur very cute!!
i’ll be honest i’m quite disappointed with dreams, not having a select and transform tool and not being able to get perfect shapes just by holding the pen down like we could in procreate is so annoying
It would definitely be nice to have those functions! But it's early days. Both are on their public road map and should be out pretty soon I think:)
@@AlexGriggAnimation hopefully as soon as possible, love the tips by the way!
I think most of the issues with dreams will be resolved with time. Since it's still new and needs to be a bit more fleshed out. I do see quite a bit of potential in this app.
It was really disappointment
it really isnt a cool app. We all over hyped it too much
Thank you for sharing. I still struggle with drawing in Dreams due to many missing tools. I hope they can fix it in the next update.
btw this is my new simple animation in dreams ruclips.net/video/GDt7tQJUoQg/видео.html
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
Fingers crossed its an early update!
@@AlexGriggAnimation Owh thnk U Alex🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀
I found the same problem yesterday, I hope they are going to fix this sooner than later
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!! 💯
Haha yes! I felt the same way. It was a revelation when I learned it :)
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
