no lasso tool is fucking insane

It just left the beta phase recently 😊 i love the app alot compared to other ones ive tried but i do agree with you on everything! Definitely keep going at the app! Im sure theyll update here soon

It's very nice to come across a video that completely encapsulated my first experience with Dreams. It was like hearing back my own exact thoughts and experiences lol.

it needs many many tools, instant motion or instant flow animations like werble pulse effects that would work amazingly well with the perform tool in procreateDreams, i bought it to support the developers but looking forward what they bring to the table

I bought the app since I’m studying animation and was excited to do silly little animations in my free time, however I have yet to really make anything with it cause I can’t wrap my head around the timeline feature and how to add and maneuver around the tracks as well as the flippbook feature being super clunky and difficult to use for my for some, as well as the lack of tools such as liquify and the lasso tool which I often use to correct minor errors in my work. The app also crashed on me twice while I was trying to do one of the basic starting animations we had learned in class to test out the program. In conclusion it was pretty frustrating and kind of a letdown because I manly use procreate as my main drawing program and latterly was able to do two different bouncing ball animation in it’s much simpler and frankly more limited animation assist feature 💀 I’m not sure if it’s just how my brain is wired (I have AUDHD) that me struggle with it but I have seen a lot of cool and fun stuff being made with the program already so it definitely has potential but as it is right now I’m not feeling very motivated to use it. Maybe once it gets more updates and is improved upon but I’m scared it’ll going to crash on me again 💀

Great review. Have bought it because I have Procreate, should open it up and play, I’m thinking it’s early days and needs a lot of work. I just wanted to support the team because I use Procreate a lot professionally.

this app genuinely has the worst UI I have ever handled in my entire life lmao, I’m shocked at how horribly they fumbled the * user interface *. hope to see more updates on it in the future though

This was a rollercoaster ride of a review. Thankyou.

I like the app (not experienced animator) and it’s been good using it to do some things. I couldn’t believe there’s no transform tools etc in flipbook mode though. They have those in adobe fresco. You need to be a much better artist than me to use that. Plus it’s too easy to accidentally mess something up with the touch gestures in the timeline. But it’s otherwise fairly intuitive and some intro videos let me into the hidden secrets. I hope they can change those things. But it’s still pretty cool and I adapted to the UI much better than other animation apps I briefly tried with timelines that made a lot less sense to me. I like using groups in the timeline.

Ur art is so beautiful! I’m glad you’ve made this video… it helps me think of whether i should purchase the app…

thank you! its definitely worth considering but i haven't used it since making this video tbh

I think it's crazy they didn't give the option to disable the gesture controls, since they had an option to do that in regular Procreate. The number of times I've accidentally triggered the Undo gesture when I just want to zoom or rotate the canvas is headache inducing.

One thing is that there is a lasso tool sort of, you just circle around the thing you want to move with the "freehand" selection thing you showed, then tap the arrow button next to the selection button in the top bar to move the selected area around

🥰 the “interface” tangent is everything

I just bought it and it’s kinda difficult with the lack of tools but I’m praying they add more drawing features soon and make it more similar to procreate cus I’m losing my mind rn 😭😭😭

Watching this video taught me what liquify was. Thank you. ❄️

I made a few animations on the app now, and lasso tool is 100% a must have for this app!

The CapCut editing is just MWAH 😍

Not sure if I was doing it wrong but found I could only put 2 HD movie files in layered on top of each other. Any more videos would snap to the side and wouldn't go onto a third layer. Haven't done much in it just yet but seems like a good app but has a lot to build on. Also like ProCreate at the beginning, it seems to be missing text.

I think that the BIGGEST thing missing is A FREAKING TUTORIAL I HAD TO WATCH SO MANY TUTORIALS JUST TO HAVE A BASIC UNDERSTANDING

The interface, or user interface (UI) is being described correctly. It’s what we (as the user of an app) interact with. How the app visually represents to us what it is we as users can do with the app. So on Facebook the UI is your feed, and everything you can click on is encompassed in this. The UI mostly refers to the tools to get you from point A to point B. So think: menus, and visual things you interact with.

As long as I have it, it will improve, but yeah the problem was the lack of the lasso, that was my first annoying thing that was missing. But they have it slated to be included in the first, main update

The fact u sound like sisu from raya and the last dragon movie (my favourite) I love u already

what absolutely baffled me is that there is no way to change pressure sensitivity. No lasso tool. I can't even change the order of my layers... and the worst of all, in flipbook mode (wthen you use the floating window to flip trough frames) doesn't have any options to make a frame longer. I always have to quit that window, find my track, make the change, find which frame I left off with, turn off the big window view, and place the floating one to where it is comfortable for me to have it... I wish they had a discord or some polls where we can suggest things. (If there is I'm glad, but I haven't heard of it. At least not one where they respond and tell us that "oh yea we'll add that soon")

You are such a good artist anyway. I wish i could draw like you .

It has potential but I can’t use it on my current iPad ,,,, it always crashes

It's funny seeing people say "are you an animator, why are you reviewing this" when the product's whole advertisement basis was making animation accessible to anyone. They should have let the software cook for another year. The artists they commissioned to make marketing material for them I guess were too spineless to actually be honest about the software to Procreate. Procreate itself is a better animation tool than Procreate Dreams.

Love your videos.

PS. This comment is on Feb 12, 2024. Still sucks shit. Bought it day 1 because I (which I will never again for any company) believed in procreate due to how good their last product was and has been, only to get some sorry husk of an app that realistically should’ve just been an add on to procreate (one I would’ve gladly paid for) rather than its own app. It’s been months and they have made barely to no updates.

i keep trying to find the lasso tool, it’s definitely something the app needs

I haven’t really touched procreate dreams for like… 3, 4 months maybe?? It’s just PAINFUL animating without a lasso tool or liquify. I- how? I’m hoping to be a professional animator when I’m older, but i need to start somewhere so for now I’m sticking to just procreate :)

wait for the sketching animation what brush is that

Why is the video suddenly so… bright? Jesus christ how do I turn that off?

It's apparently HDR - when videos are uploaded like that, some screens jack up the brightness to get the full dynamic range. As far as I know, there is no cure.

So like they said are you able to draw on 1 million by 1 million pixels on procreate.

I feel like dreams took the opposite aproach to procreate. while procreate is intuitive, easy to understand, navigate and use. Dreams insists on making me learn a bunch of cryptic gestures and the navigation is equaly as cryptic, at least to me. I'm going back to dreams in 2 years time and hope it becomes more intuitive. I genuienly feel like regular procreate is still easier to use as animation tool.

They also don’t support controllers like 8bitdo or Manba, which every other app does. You also can’t change any of the keyboard shortcuts, which is a HUGE accessibility problem. Many disabled people can’t even use their apps bc they insist on gestures 😢

Yes it dose suck now I do hope that they would add more updates and add all the good features

i was sad because my i pad is 6-7 years old 2 gen and i wasn’t able to do some cool features because it was to old ;-;;; i was really bummed out because i was waiting for it before it launched and had it on pre order and new i pads are so expensive
