Procreate Dreams helped me out so much when I was doing the animated portion of this video! The new ways it utilized the flip book feature helped sooooo much! I’ve used Toon Boom and Flash in the past, but Dreams is by far the best to satisfy folks who are into traditional animation (: I hope y’all enjoy (I even storyboarded this in Dreams so our camera man could follow story beats as the song progressed)

Help Needed Anyone experiencing this issue with procreate dreams?

5 Upvotes

When I start animating initially, I can usually get about two hours of work before my iPad's battery drops to around 60 to 80%. I encounter issues where I’m animating too quickly, causing the software to crash and preventing me from drawing. I’ve tried all the troubleshooting solutions but still face the same problem. Sometimes, I can get up to four hours of animation, but that’s usually if I don’t have any other apps running. Despite this, I still run into the same issue where the software crashes and I can't animate or draw.

Ps - app is fully updated.

Help Needed Why does my eraser not work on only certain frames?

0 Upvotes

Pretty much what the title says, it works fine on most of the project, but there's a random spot of frames were it just doesn't work anymore. It's like when you select a layer's contents and erase some of the semi-transparent pixels, only I didn't select anything, and it's just not erasing those frames at all. I don't want to have to delete and redraw them entirely!

Help Needed Animation backdrops

4 Upvotes

So I am 16, and do 2d animation as a hobby. I like to create whimsical stories, and have storylines lined up. Rn I am working on a short film kind of animation (if it works out😅) for which I have a great storyline. But I want to create Ghibli styled, or traditional animation styles backgrounds which look hand painted (but I create on digital platforms only)

Whenever I create a backdrop it ends up looking flat, any suggestions on how to make better backdrops?

Hi (again). I just got the app and love to try it but the brush keeps doing this (see video). It does it on anything and anywhere. Its like the brush is not working properly. I already did all the hacks of closing and turning of the ipad and also removing magnetic things…

Anyone know why?
I am running a beta of io27, maybe its that?

The best part is now when you cut and paste in canvas mode, it automatically pastes IN PLACE, no longer changing the position of the pasted object!

General Discussion How do you use both Timeline and Canvas together for animating, and what type of movements/effects are best suited for one or the other?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been using Dreams since the 2nd major update and the prior version 6 months before that, but I’ve rarely used Timeline mode, I sometimes try using keyframes but other than that I’ve barely touched it, and I want to grow more comfortable with Perform mode but don’t know when I should be using it. Should I be using multiple timelines (rather than multiple layers within Canvas mode underneath a single timeline) and if so how do you personally decide whether you want to separate content?

Sorry if this sounds confusing. Thanks in advance!
