How the hell does an animation app NOT have onion skinning and a selection tool???! Toonsquid sounds a lot like Macromedia Flash, dumbed down to just the essentials for animation. Ok I just dated myself there. Now I just need Toonsquid for MAC!
It hurts to say , but so far procreate dreams has been disappointing. I wish it had a similar layout to procreate , with gesture controls being optional. I was wrong. I hate how they went about it. And i fwel guilty about it because i felt procreate did a lot for artists at a time where adobe was screwing them over. But i just cant animate in PD , its system works agraist my usual workflow. Its actually more pleasant for me to animate in procreate rather than procreate dreams , which is kind of ironic. Rn the most i use pd for is to edit speedpaint videos and it still gives me problems. And i pre-ordered it! It feels like they rushed this out. The learning curve is steep too. Gratingly steep. Why doesn't the fill tool work like it does in procreate? Why is it tedious to animate in? And changing the animation duration is a chore. Why did they make it addbup so weirdly? I know dreams is meant to compete against after effects but geeze. Its not doing a very good job of it. But toosnquid, i worked with toonsquid a while before dreams came out. It so far has been one of my favorite software to animate on. Its everything i thought and wished dreams was. It can do frame by frame animation and work similar to how flash did. Hard to think one guy did all this! It has its short comings , but it beats out clip in how fun and easy it is to pick up. Plus- vector layer animations! I've been wanting toonsquid to get more notoriety and hopefully more tutorials and animations come out for it. One can dream.
As someone who had Procreate dreams, but immediately deleted it a few weeks after having it yeah Procreate dreams sucks-definitely trying out this tune squid if my parents will allow me to have it because it cost money. and you can have onion skin in Procreate dreams,but in Procreate dreams you have to press the time/length button in the very corner of the canvas in order to enable it, which is absolutely stupid that it’s not a default on.
I bought dreams back in December knowing they didn’t have the lasso tool but I thought “ah they’ll probably add it in next week.” The Procreate team is honestly pretty good at listening to what the users want but with dreams it’s been kinda 😬 Like they are soooo quick to add features for the new Apple Pencil but not for the damn lasso tool
One thing that I really wish procreate dreams had was an editable curves function(AKA easings) The basic ones they offer are fine but I would love a way to make snappy tweens. Although coloring an animation my hand was both painful and satisfying. I don't really use the lasso tool the much anyways even when I'm normally drawing so that's probably why it doesn't bother me as much as it does for other people. I kind hate the fill bucket though. Like, why drag & drop? Why? On the occasion I use Krita I'm like: why do I have the coloring done in two minutes? (My character designs aren't even that complicated.) And yeah the blurry-ness when your zoomed out is *weird.* Although I don't really need anything too complicated. If I can draw and have access to layer settings I'm happy. Also I like they're copy and paste way better than FlipaClip's. -I made an 3+ minute animatic and half of it was done in FlipaClip and I remember my wrist getting sore from copy and pasting so much. I find the dragging out frames much more comfortable. I might just be used to it's weird interface.
Thanks for the rec, I'll check it out! I was so excited for Dreams, but using it is soooo frustrating. The lack of lasso and selection tools is actually insane. If they were to add one I'd give it another chance cuz the procreate compatibility is pretty sweet...
I was expecting so much from procreate dreams, I literally bought the app thinking it’d be an animation app with all the previous features from procreate, I came to realize that that didn’t have audio scrubbing, no auto drawing tools and every single tap on that app is an undo button, man it took me so long to create a simple animation. It deserves its three star rating currently, Toonsquid, on the other hand, is amazing.
About the camera thing: In Procreate dreams it isn't a camera, it's keyframes. Toonsquid also has that feature if you click the little diamond shape at the bottom. :] Idk how to explain the entire feature here lol
Ffs I found this video and your last one after getting procreate dreams and thinking “hmm this isn’t that great I wonder what other ppl think”. Day ruined (your content is very funny please keep making it).
Whoa! I must thanks all those ppl who suggest this. It definitely go straight to my want list. But may I ask, is there any 1 time purchase animation app in Ipad that you think is the best?
I paid 20 dollars for an app that REALLY needed time to cook more and to come with detailed instructions. well at least I have calipeg that cost me 60 dollars........you're going to make me want to spend 10 more dollars on this.
Dreams just released an updated roadmap after months of silence... even if they implement everything on the list, they will never have: - Vector graphics support - Symbols (re-usable animation loops) The second one is huge, since without it you have to copy and paste groups everywhere, and there is a very low group limit in the timeline in Dreams! I feel like they have so much trouble even with basic features that hell would freeze over before they could implement something huge like an entire vector editing subsystem to their app.
Ok, this was entertaining, informative and fun to watch, which I guess is entertainment....so.....but I loved this video! Great job and off to get ToonSquid!
I lowkey regret spending 20 dollars on PD for my bday when it first came out when I could’ve gotten toonsquid for half that price and better, makes me feel like I’ve wasted my money tbh but I was so excited for PD because, well, I LOVE procreate, so it was a huge disappointment when I tried animating in it and realized how difficult it was to animate when I was rlly looking forward to moving on from tweening to starting frame by frame animation and making animatics, and in an app that made the same app that I love using to draw at that, but I sorta just gave up on it now 😭😭😭 I hope someday it’ll be just as good as toonsquid tho, and I can stop feeling immense amounts of guilt and regret whenever I see ppl happy w their toonsquid app while I feel like I’ve made a poor decision getting PD lmao-
I think the only thing that’s good about procreate dreams is the puppet movement especially if you’re not fully animating your characters. I used that to a lot for my videos but the downside is that is hard to animate there I keep accidentally double clicking and having a hard time spreading my sheet .😢 but I do want to try this app out. But one question is it easy to download music in there ?
If you wanna do puppet animation, toonsquid is even better because it actually has RIGGING, you can make a hierarchy, use symbols, and make a simple rig for your character that doesn’t deform if you use vectors, and importing audios is easy, you just download them to your files and import them into the app.
There's one more good thing about procreate dreams apart from performance mode is that you can keyframe warp and some some effects like hsb/gaussian blur. But i literally didn't like how they sacrificed the most desired liquify option in dreams just because of 1m*1m canvas size which literally no one on earth uses.
people are getting SCAMMED ! procreate dreams doesn’t have alot of features and it’s 24$ (for me) and toonsquid is way better and it’s 14 dollars (for me)
