Procreate launches iPad animation app ‘Dreams’ with ‘powerful tools’ accessible for ‘anyone’

iPad illustration pioneer Procreate has officially launched its new app called “Dreams”. It’s designed to make it easy to “create rich 2D animations, expressive videos, and breathtaking stories.” And the company says “anyone” can take advantage of the “powerful” new app.

Procreate showed off a teaser of its new Dreams app back in September with this description:
