Procreate, the best-selling paid app on iPad, has announced a new animation app called Procreate Dreams. The app will provide a touch-centric creative experience and is set to be released on November 22, 2023. Like its predecessor, Procreate Dreams will be available for a one-time purchase of $19.99. Unlike Adobe software, Procreate does not require costly subscriptions.
The best iPads offer great computing power and accuracy, making them popular among artists. Procreate Dreams will leverage Apple's slate, particularly those featuring Apple Silicon chips, to deliver efficient workflows and intuitive tools suitable for all skill levels.
Procreate Dreams introduces features and tools that create an accessible animation experience. Performing allows creatives to animate through touch, automatically adding keyframes while recording actions. The app's Multi-touch Timeline enables quick and easy navigation and editing, combining drawing, cel animation, keyframing, video editing, and compositing. The painting and compositing engine supports projects with resolutions up to 1 million x 1 million pixels and offers full support for Procreate brushes. GPU acceleration allows for instant playback, saving time on RAM previews.
Procreate Dreams also includes a new audio engine, high-resolution video editing capabilities, Flipbook for traditional animation, text and typography features, and an iCloud synchronized Procreate file format with eternal undo history.
The unrivaled computing power of Apple M2 chips in iPads is likely the reason for Procreate's decision to release a full animation app. Animation requires immense computing power, and iPads can handle everything on board. Procreate's software aims to remain accessible to non-professionals.
Given the success of Procreate's original app as a gateway to digital art, Procreate Dreams is expected to be well-received. The app will be released in November.
