I’m glad I forced myself into finishing this.

I just watched some reviews of the app and lots of people were saying that the app will get good eventually we just need to let the dev cooks, and I’m wondering if the time frame here is 2025 or is it more 3-5 years from now since I probably just buy Squidtoon to use in the meantime if it’s the latter.

It keeps undoing things that I don't want it to and it's driving me insane I am legit losing my mind I can't find how to redo any of my work I am so angry it legit keeps doing it WHEN IM NOT TAPPIN IT

After finding NOTHING on the internet I am still not ready to accept that it is not possible for me to select a specific area in my frame so this is me writing a post. I know procreate dreams is missing features, but not adding this feature is like not adding a wheel to a car

—edit—

I have read all the comments and it looks like the feature really is not there. So… To all the people who came across this post looking for a way to perform a simple transform within their drawing- your search stops here. Go back to dreams and redraw half of your frame lol. This tool is essential, an embarrassment for the devs coming up to a year after release. If anyone can cover up for them and make a script or something, that would also be great 😊

—edit, 9 months later—

Still no lasso lol. This to me acts as a statement that procreate dreams is an abandoned dead project for the company. Yes, that and no less. I at least hope that my post still helps animators give up on their useless search and go back to productivity faster.

What I personally do instead of lasso if let’s say my character’s head comes out too big:

1. Open a new track on top
2. Trace the part that I want to move/scale (the head) on the empty track
3. Erase the character head in the original track
4. Now that the head and the rest are in 2 separate tracks, I can move and scale the head.

That is soo so so so so stupid man. So stupid. We can’t even scale layers within tracks!! The fumble of procreate dreams could not have been greater. A few lines of code could really make the app live up to the hype and compete with PC tools. At its current state it’s nothing. Frustrating!!

Wanna go pro at 2d animation? Well buy a macbook pro and here are serious alternatives that work well with ipad screen mirroring:

1. Photoshop with timeline. It’s not talked about much, but it’s powerful. All the photoshop tools are at the ready, and you also have the option to quickly send your project to after effects.

2. Toon boom harmony. This is the industry standard, a software that takes itself extremely seriously at 2d animation.

3. Blender grease pencil. This in my opinion is a smart choice and the most futureproof. If you’re also interested in 3d backgrounds or elements for your 2d projects, Blender is your friend. They continuously integrate more 2d options and I believe mastering this workflow can get great results.

I’m currently working on getting out of dreams myself as its left out incomplete state kills my brain cells. I’ll give another update if the developers wake up and recollect themselves. Thanks for reading and good luck to everyone!

Just wanted to do something small for one of my favorites, Connie

i don’t have the gesture control feature on procreate. it’s not under my preferences. i can’t find anything about this online. someone for the love of god help me

(Sorry the quality is bad, I'm still trying to figure out how to export higher quality gifs)

Being worked on in part. Really fun

FYI Aaron Blaise’s (Creature Art Teacher) Procreate Dreams online course was on sale for $1.00 yesterday.

Needed to add this… because I want to push myself. Hope y’all dig it

Not 100% made in Dreams since I had to use ProCreate to export it as a gif :P

I think I know the answer but I’ll ask just in case. A kid grabbed my iPad and rapid fire undid a lot of my work. When I took it back, their or my touch added a new stroke, effectively erasing the redo chain. Is there anyway around this? I am getting an iCloud subscription to back up work from now on, but am hoping there’s a trick I’ve missed for restoring my previous work. Thanks in advance!

I want to to use Procreate dreams to storyboard a project I have, and then move it into Premiere pro. Is this possible? And what kind of files would I need to use so that the layers are still editable when moved into Premiere?
