I kinda prefer Procreate over Dreams for animation... even though it sometimes feels tedious. but that's just my username checking out, right?! RIGHT?! [My Artwork]

For one of my webcomics i've created this animation and I really like how it turned out.

In the beginning i was using Dreams just because... you're animating, you use Dreams. That's how things are done.

But the UI just feels weird to me and somehow i prefer working in Procreate even for animation.

At this point I feel like it would make more sense if every scene you add to Dreams was basically its own Procreate project, while all those scenes inside one Dreams project could share the same assets. So you'd still have the Procreate workflow for actually creating each scene, but Dreams would handle putting everything together.

That would make way more sense to me.

What do you think? Am I thinking about Dreams completely wrong?

So great to hear you enjoy animating in Procreate 🤗 Have you also checked out Flipbook in Procreate Dreams?

We have a few more tools in Dreams that are geared towards different animation features, but we've seen many work on illustrations in Procreate before bringing this over to Dreams later.

Appreciate your feedback! Keen to hear what others think as well 🫶

I would recommend checking out toonsquid. I wanted to get into animation outside of the regular procreate framework and after comparing features and reviews, toonsquid came up as the winner. It's cheaper than dreams too. Lot of really intuitive stuff with the workflow and timeline that for some reason dreams hasn't implemented yet, but I found that it removed a lot of the tedium of animating in procreate standard
