Procreate Dreams 2 Is Here! New Features You NEED to Know
Procreate Dreams 2 just dropped and… they kinda turned it into a real animation studio on iPad. 😳
In this video I’ll show you what actually changed for character animators – not just the shiny UI.

We’ll cover:
The new Compose / Perform / Keyframe timeline modes (and which one to use when)
Flipbook 2.0 with multiple tracks for body / eyes / FX
The brand new Lasso + Transform tools inside Flipbook (finally!!)
The upgraded animation brush library & improved drawing engine
Transparent video & GIF export so your loops look way more professional
Important upgrade tips if you’re coming from Dreams 1 (aka how not to break your client project 😬)
If you animate frame-by-frame or do character animation in Procreate Dreams, Dreams 2 changes a lot of your workflow—so let’s see if you should update right now or wait until that big project is done.
