HOBART, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach – September 8, 2023 – Procreate announces the launch of its new animation app for iPad,
Procreate dreams, designed for the next generation of storytellers. Procreate Dreams launches globally later this year and joins Procreate, the best-selling paid iPad app for over 6 years.
Procreate Dreams is an industry game-changer, promising to unlock the world of animation in ways once thought impossible through accessible, robust, and powerful features. Designed for touch, Procreate Dreams introduces unparalleled speed workflows and tools so intuitive that now anyone can animate them. Artists and animators can simply and spontaneously direct the feel of animation, thanks to new tools like Performing, which uses gestures to automatically add keyframes as the tool records actions. The performance brings the work to life before the creator’s eyes in real time, with no animation experience necessary.
The multi-touch timeline is at the heart of Procreate Dreams, making it easy to navigate, organize, and edit projects. For the first time, creatives can seamlessly blend drawing, celluloid animation, keyframing, video editing, and compositing, all with fluid gestures that allow artists to focus on creating: c is faster than a mouse and keyboard.
From the creators of two-time Apple Design Award winner Procreate, Procreate Dreams delivers unmatched performance through exceptional innovation, taking full advantage of Apple silicon. Procreate’s next-generation painting and composition engine supercharges the painting experience, and creatives can now work on raster projects with resolutions up to 1 million by 1 million pixels and more layers than they will never need it. The app supports all of Procreate’s incredible brushes, optimized for the precision and low latency of Apple Pencil, and loved by creatives everywhere.
James Cuda, CEO of Procreate, comments: “Today is a major milestone for Procreate and the animation industry. Our team has worked for over 5 years to produce an extraordinarily accessible and exceptionally powerful animation product. Later this year, we’re helping to unlock the creative potential within each of us and give voice to storytellers around the world. »
Procreate Dreams will be released on November 22, 2023 and will be available on the App Store for a one-time purchase of $19.99 USD. No subscription.

Now anyone can animate
Designed for beginners and seasoned professionals, Performing will forever change the way creatives animate. Creatives can animate by touch and instantly react to the movie as it plays, without the need to set up complex keyframes and paths. Performing uses gestures to automatically add keyframes as the tool records the animator’s actions in real time.
All-new Procreate drawing experience
Procreate’s next-generation painting and composition engine supercharges the creative’s painting experience. Enjoy hundreds of amazing Procreate brushes in a new and improved painting engine, on even bigger canvases, with more layers to play with, and full support for files created in Procreate’s popular digital illustration app.
Reinvented timeline
The Procreate Dreams timeline is designed for animation. For the first time, creatives can seamlessly blend drawing, cel animation, keyframing, video editing, and compositing, all with fluid gestures that allow artists to focus on creating. More than just a needle, the timeline playhead brings a revolutionary animation experience to Procreate Dreams. Creatives have the freedom to dance around the timeline, add actions precisely, and rewind to instantly play the movie. Draw on the timeline with Apple Pencil to quickly select content, tracks, or keyframes, then edit them all at once. Group designs, move tracks, retime content, adjust keyframes and more. It’s so much faster than editing with a mouse and keyboard.
Real-time rendering
Don’t wait any longer to play again. From the first run through the timeline, users will feel the difference. Most industry professionals spend too much time waiting for RAM previews every time they make a change. With Metal-based GPU acceleration powered by Apple silicon, creatives can now instantly play back their project as they make edits, giving them much more time for creativity.

Frame-by-frame animation
Flipbook is a refined homage to traditional animation, transforming the user interface into a focused format while introducing familiarity with the beloved Animation Assist in Procreate’s first application. Perfect for creating short looping GIFs, complex character animations, and more. Onion skins can easily be activated at any time when painting and animating with options to customize front and back images with colors, opacity and more. Cel animators can create multiple frame-by-frame animations in a single project and apply Live Motion and filters by running or using keyframes.
Keyframes
Quickly set the start and end points of an action. Keep the timeline clutter-free with beautiful, streamlined keyframes, or tap a keyframe to unleash its full power and precisely edit each property. Fine-tune transitions by choosing the right easing every time. Live Motion and filters provide a non-destructive workflow; after adding keyframes, they remain fully editable. Creatives have full creative control to change colors, adjust blurs, edit motion, and play with filters without permanently changing content.
Text and typography
Add titles, credits, and animated annotations with the full power of keyframes. Import custom fonts and adjust the type to achieve the ideal look for the project.

Creatives can now bring their characters to life with voiceovers, add ambient music, and finish their projects with perfect sound effects.
