What's New in Procreate Dreams
1.0.14
December 18, 2024
This update includes a couple of important fixes for Performing:
• Rotation keyframes will no longer be removed
• When you leave Performing, keyframes after the Playhead will be also saved
We're working hard on the next action-packed release for Procreate Dreams and we can't wait to press play.
Overall this app is pretty good to work with it’s just a few things missing to make it truly a great animation app. A lasso tool would be great to help move stuff around instead of having to redraw things, copy and paste would be great to have because it would help save time for me and finally an undo and redo button would be so helpful. I hope that these things are added in the near future.
