What is Procreate Dreams?
Procreate Dreams comes as an animation tool that lets artists, specifically beginners, create animations by using gestures. Therefore, you can draw over videos to create special effects or trace over them for a technique called rotoscoping.
It supports ProRes videos with up to 8K resolution, so you won’t label it any inferior to the popular Procreate app. Furthermore, the devs have created a special Procreate file format for iCloud that lets you open huge 1TB files instantly, with no waiting to load, save, or export. These files also keep a record of every change you’ve made, so you can experiment without worrying about losing your work.

There’s a tool called Flipbook for traditional-style animation, and it has a user-friendly interface. You can also see multiple frames at once. It doesn’t miss fundamentals works with Procreate brushes and offers bigger canvases and more layers.
Notably, the bigger brother Procreate has been a best-seller on the App Store for six consecutive years which speaks volumes.
