  • I hope you liked the video! Btw this is not sponsored if any of you were thinking it was 😄. This video took me so long but i put my heart an soul into it so i hope the 8 minutes was just dazzling.
    I used capcut, toonsquid, audacity, and procreate to make this video
    Oh also procreate dreams just had an update, i haven’t seen it yet but I don’t think I should hope for the lasso.

    Toonsquid is the real dream app!! The problem with PD that they sacrificed the features like liquify for the 1million canvas size, despite nobody on earth use it (I guess 8k is the max). I know because I asked them, and the answer was that never will liquify tool in it, because of the reason above. It could be so good!

    Yes! More people are talking about ToonSquid, which is great! I mean, this app even has professional features like out-of-pegs for referencing your frames without the need to actually transform them. And flipping the drawing, which was added after users had asked for it. And the ability to quickly flip through drawings just swiping your fingers on the canvas is such a time-savior! The only flaw this software has is its IOS-restriction, but so do many professional drawing programs.

    I used Callipeg before for a short time and I really liked Callipeg...until I saw the one time purchase in Callipeg. My hopes lost, my determination crumbling.
    Until in the midst of despair, Toonsquid reach out its hand to me and told me. "Buy me and I'll make your life easier." And then I was sold, i love Toonsquid and any other animation softwares kills my motivation. All except rough animator. Also I only have a slight problem with Toonsquid and that's...the bucket tool. I never liked procreate bucket tool and it's difficult to adjust to refill it my drawing with color.

      There's something about TS that doesn't make it feel nice to animate in, and RoughAnimator fills that gap by simply having the Timeline above the drawing area for me.
      And I'm not digging TS' brushes either. I hope they get improved.
      RoughAnimator just invites me to have fun animating, although I wish it had rulers from CSP like Symmetry, concentric circle, etc.
      For now, I make pro works in CSP on the iPad, and it's so good.

    Dreams just released an updated roadmap after months of silence... even if they implement everything on the list, they will never have:
    - Vector graphics support
    - Symbols (re-usable animation loops)
    The second one is huge, since without it you have to copy and paste groups everywhere, and there is a very low group limit in the timeline in Dreams! I feel like they have so much trouble even with basic features that hell would freeze over before they could implement something huge like an entire vector editing subsystem to their app.

    Wow! Very impressive take on how you view these apps. Personally, I love both apps at almost the same level as I believe that they both have their pros and cons exclusive to them. However, I mostly use PDreams even with its lackluster features….i just feel at home there better than ToonSquid. Don’t get me wrong though, for I totally agree with your view on this but at the end of the, it’s all about perspective and preferences and also individual experience. No doubt ToonSquid top the charts with the most features, can’t dispute that. But for me, I just preferred PDreams more to work with and so far it serves me well…….though I still cry out for more features and I damn well scrutinize them harder at every chance I get.

    Procreate Dreams does have a steep learning curve… especially for a noob like me… I was literally screaming in frustration at times because it was doing some wonky things (like when importing layers, like you mentioned), and the interface was driving me crazy.

    1:34 Ouch the sudden slander on FlipaClip is WILD….but yeah reasonable enough lol. Especially if you’re someone who gets easily irked by advertisements or an unremovable watermark after exporting (plus the limited layers was an issue before the implementation of “free after watching an add” alternative). I’m sort of a believer that it’s not fully the program to blame, it’s the skill set of the individual which determines quality. Anyone has the capability to make the most out of using a limited amount of available tools. The animators who still use Flipnote Studio are proof of it. But of course it is also important to be comfortable with the program you use, or else animating will just become frustrating and not fun.

I didn’t initially correlate the sub change as the cause, because at the time my iPad’s charging capabilities died and I had to get a replacement.

    One thing that I really wish procreate dreams had was an editable curves function(AKA easings) The basic ones they offer are fine but I would love a way to make snappy tweens. Although coloring an animation my hand was both painful and satisfying. I don't really use the lasso tool the much anyways even when I'm normally drawing so that's probably why it doesn't bother me as much as it does for other people. I kind hate the fill bucket though. Like, why drag & drop? Why? On the occasion I use Krita I'm like: why do I have the coloring done in two minutes? (My character designs aren't even that complicated.) And yeah the blurry-ness when your zoomed out is *weird.*
    Although I don't really need anything too complicated. If I can draw and have access to layer settings I'm happy. Also I like they're copy and paste way better than FlipaClip's. -I made an 3+ minute animatic and half of it was done in FlipaClip and I remember my wrist getting sore from copy and pasting so much. I find the dragging out frames much more comfortable. I might just be used to it's weird interface.

    As someone who uses procreate regularly, it boggles my mind that dreams is worse than the regular app, THERES EVEN AN ANIMATE OPTION IN REGULAR PROCREATE FOR FLUFFS SAKE (only downside is that in regular procreate you can’t have that many frames, the frames themselves are based around layers or groups)

    Toon Squid is better as it is than Dreams but a TS 2.0 is in the works , a list of new features is on the website (subject to change mind). That aside I think one of Toonsquids best features is the Symbols(not sure why they are called symbols though) but I like the way they neatly package sub animations up so it's not so cluttered but you can still edit them without messing up the main animation.

I’ve looked into procreate dreams but I don’t think it’s in my price range for how low received it is- which is truly disappointing because I use procreate for drawing. Toonsquid seems like a good app for beginners looking to go more professional I think so is it? Is it easy to transition from FlipaClip to toonsquid? I’m willing to pay for it since I have spent money on FlipaClip but just from this review ts looks way better. Just curious should I buy it?

    The timeline keeps resizing itself if you don’t touch the screen the right way and its so hard to grab the end of a frame to adjust the duration
    And the fact that you can’t copy a deformer key ?? How am i supposed to make loops ? (Well i know how : you have to know what your animation will be and how it will loop BEFORE doing anything, so its made for professionals but lacks so many professional features)
