I know! It seemed like they gave early access to only illustrators with no animation experience. Like it's cool to add some motion to illustration work, but it can obviously do waaaay more than that.

@@AlexGriggAnimation hey! really the best tutorial so far but I have one problem. When I go to split view with procreate and I try to import layered drawing (quite simple one) it's imported as flat image and when I go to drawing mode in Dreams and go to layers it's flattened :( why? and I really need it imported with layers. Somebody suggested to paste separate layers on separate tracks but that won't work for me, I'm trying to animate window blinds and having each part of it on separate track would be just stupid, I was planning to animate it in frame by frame mode by moving each layer a bit and it would be really easy to do if I have layered image :) I tried exactly the same thing as you did but no matter which file I try to import, it's flattened to one flat image and all layers information is lost...

Its worth mentioning that if you’re having trouble exporting your Procreate artworks into Dreams as grouped layers or turning them intro tracks, Procreate’s preferred export settings needs to be set to Procreate rather than PSD or PDF or any other options.

Thanks, Alex. This is helpful to see since Dreams has some limitations still. I was excited for Dreams' release and when I finally started exploring, immediately I saw certain things missing that one would think is essential for a digital art software such as the lasso tool. I don't understand how that wasn't included on release since it's such a "basic" thing to have. There are other software that are developed by smaller groups or even by one person and that already provides these essentials. I still like Dreams and I want to use it as my main animation software, but above is my main criticism towards Procreate's developers.
