About Procreate Dreams

Procreate Dreams is an animation app for iPad from the makers of the Procreate painting app. Its Flipbook mode lets you draw each frame with over 300 Procreate brushes, using onion skins to see neighbouring frames and multiple tracks to layer the animation.

Keyframes can scale, rotate, blur, warp and distort drawings, with the app generating the in-between frames. You can also record motion by touch while the movie plays and add filters and effects. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription.

  • OpenToonz

    Professional 2D animation software, based on the Toonz version used by Studio Ghibli.

    OpenToonz is free, BSD-licensed studio animation software for Windows, macOS and Linux with an exposure sheet and onion skinning, though it is hard to learn.

  • Synfig Studio

    Vector 2D animation software that tweens between keyframes instead of making you draw every frame.

    Synfig Studio is free, GPL-3.0 vector animation software for desktop that tweens between keyframes and supports bones, but it is not built for frame-by-frame drawing.

  • Clip Studio Paint

    A commercial drawing and painting app for illustration, comics and animation across desktop and mobile.

    Clip Studio Paint covers animation alongside illustration and comics on Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, but it is paid after the trial and not dedicated to animation.
