In this video, I'm pitting Adobe Fresco's motions tools against a full on animation app, Procreate Dreams from the perspective of a professional illustrator. 🥊 I’ll break down why I still prefer Adobe Fresco for my motion graphics needs, even though Procreate Dreams is an animation powerhouse.
We’ll explore:
• The key differences between Adobe Fresco and Procreate Dreams
• How Fresco’s motion tools stack up against Procreate’s animation features
• Real-life examples of how I use these tools in my illustrations
If you’re an artist trying to figure out which app is right for you, or just curious about what makes Adobe Fresco my go-to, stick around! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more... me?

I think I am gonna use Procreate Dreams so that I can animate directly on top of footage from my RU-vid videos, and then use fresco for most other art/animation things

Animating over video in Dreams is fun for sure. I do still use it for that quite a bit.

Adobe has completely lost me with their latest update. Just cancelled my subscription and deleted their apps off all my devices.

It seems like a lot of people feel that way. I think they could be handling this much better. It still is an option to disable a lot of this in your settings.

@zendragon6 Месяц назад

I deleted all of my Adobe apps as well and deleted my account after transferring my art out. I hope most artists do this so Adobe makes some major changes to their policies. It’s sad because Fresco does have some cool ways of doing things that no one else really has. All of Adobe’s other apps have great alternatives though that I won’t really miss anyway.

@@reynold99991 I can't know for sure. I did click opt out for all the options, and moved my art off before deleting it. But yeah, damage is probably already done for what I had on there. They won't have access to anything new though.

Fresco is going to be the only app I miss from Adobe. It’s got some really cool features. Hopefully a lot of artists cancel and Adobe updates their terms of service to remove their theft of our art.

@chris-piascik Месяц назад

I agree they should make some changes. But I think this is a bit worse than what’s actually happening in some cases. The ai learning stuff can definitely be considered theft, but you can turn that off in your settings.

@zendragon6 Месяц назад

@@chris-piascik I don't at all think their response is above board. They got caught and are trying to make excuses. The language is very clearly pointing towards AI training, "for improvement of their services". They are trying to say it's all for the good of customers, but have not made any effort as of yet to actually address anything with any legal verbiage. And yes, you can opt out. Probably, to some things. What you're opting out of isn't clear in the settings. While the terms to use the service in section 4 don't actually say anything about being able to opt out of that part of the TOS, which makes me think that's not what you're opting out of. And of course, it's something you shouldn't have to opt out of to begin with. And I understand that Fresco is your bread and butter for your workflow, so it's hard to want to step away from that when Adobe blatantly messes up. But there's a large part of me that wishes you would. There's a lot of people who have signed up and will sign up for Fresco (myself included) based on your reviews. If you were able to step away and publicly push against this, as one of Adobe's biggest supporters, I think it would go a long ways in helping to force them to walk this one back.

@kizanko 26 дней назад

@@chris-piascik I love your channel but I think you are giving Adobe too much slack. Two things can be true at the same time. Adobe has great programs sure. But the fact you have to opt-out instead of opt-in already is messed up. And they have done really shady stuff when it comes to canceling your subscription, the terms of service are very artist-unfriendly and they even are getting sued now by the FTC. As a artist you are their product and as of now they are tricking most people into giving their talents to use that against them in the future. Even you, a few brand deals or a shoulder tap won't take away the fact that they are trying to use the creativity of you to discard you from your job.

I also cancelled my Adobe subscription yesterday. I was considering it giving them the benefit of the doubt but after Brad Colbow’s video where he explains how Adobe changed their terms of service for their stock service program to grant them permission retroactively to use it for their AI, I was like what? So, now, I’m like nope, I’m out 😡. Also, Kyle T Webster resignation is another nail in the coffin for me.

@ClarePatrick-Creative 4 дня назад

I've signed up for Skillshare and looking forward to doing your courses. 😀 I've been using Procreate for a few years, although I do have Adobe Fresco. I got it because of the vector brushes, but I haven't really tried it out properly yet. (You get stuck in your comfort zone.) Now I have a good excuse to jump over and give it a whirl as I really want to start animating my illustrations.

I have not, to be honest I don’t know much about it. I tend to have a hard time finding the time to explore a lot of new software.

@p32907 Месяц назад

Hi Chris, i really love your videos which inspired me to start creating again. I love using fresco and felt like i had found my favourite medium to draw my characters and add motion. But now with the Adobe TOS situation i am literally scared to use the app anymore. Really gutted! Don't understand why adobe treat artists like dirt on their shoes! They seem to really despise artists, and want to kill art completely. Ive paid for and used adobe software for about 20 years, and then they do this. I just cant believe what is happening.

@ThePargaBros Месяц назад

Cool video would be interested in different use cases for different projects video

@chris-piascik Месяц назад

Thanks, generally anything that’s a looping animation I use Fresco. If I need to animate over video or sync to audio I use Procreate Dreams.. well actually I tend to do that stuff in Photoshop at my computer more often than not

@Sa1tCh1ps Месяц назад

In my opinion, both are equally AMAZING, it depends on what software is more sutable for your needs, like brushes, lineart, etc

@chris-piascik Месяц назад

Yeah I think that was my point too.

@presycebaez8442 Месяц назад

I literally just started using fresco. The live oil brushes alone make that app just so wonderful. But I think its back to procreate for the time being.

I quickly fell in love with my workflow in Fresco. With Procreate Dreams, I feel like I have to think four steps ahead. The whole recent Adobe fiasco did make me realize I'm paying too much for the plan I was on, so I canceled it. But I'm looking into hopping back into a cheaper Fresco plan since it was mainly all I used from Adobe after a while.

Ah yeah it’s only 9.99 per year for the full version.

Fresco reminds me of deluxepaint animation features. kind of like animate using microsoft powerpoint. Moving pieces on static background. But then again, I us whatever tool does what I need at the time. Phillips, flathead or torque, etc.

Interesting, I’ve never used it. That said, Fresco is more of a drawing/painting app than an animation app.

Thank you for this video!! I'm a professional designer and i honestly can't see entire agencies/studios/in-house teams moving away from Adobe. Its just too integrated into not only the design workflow but also integrated with the other teams (editing/animation/etc). But for my personal work, i'd like to do everything i can to protect my own ideas.

@@chris-piascik Knowing how these companies operate, that's simply not going to cut it. The only thing that'll get through to them, is a sudden, sharp drop in their revenue. If everyone pushes back, they won't have a choice but to walk it back and when that happens, a precedent is set.

I disagree strongly with that statement….it’s a wonderful app and I know a lot of professionals that uses it including myself. I see nothing wrong with it except for some lacking features in which they promised to update….besides the initial plan from savage interactive was to use both procreate and dreams together as a single unit just like the way we use illustrator and after effects or cinema 4d….animation is about techniques, tools just aided us to work faster….but the the techniques comes first.
