How Do I Import an Animation From Procreate Into Procreate Dreams?

Published in Procreate Import 2 mins read


You can import your Procreate artwork, including layered files often used for animation frames, directly into Procreate Dreams using a simple drag and drop method.

## Importing Procreate Files into Procreate Dreams

Bringing your layered Procreate creations into Procreate Dreams is straightforward using iPad's Split View or Slide Over feature. This allows you to work with both apps simultaneously for seamless asset transfer.

Here's the process based on the provided information:

1.  **Launch Both Apps:** Open **Procreate** and **Procreate Dreams** on your iPad. Arrange them side by side using Split View or Slide Over.
2.  **Navigate to Gallery:** In Procreate, go to your **Gallery** view where your saved `.procreate` files are displayed.
3.  **Drag and Drop:** Tap and hold the **Procreate file** you wish to import from your Gallery. While holding it, drag it across the screen and **drop** it onto the **Stage** or **Timeline** area within the Procreate Dreams app window.

Upon successful import, your Procreate file will appear as a new track in Procreate Dreams.

*   **Important Note:** According to the reference, upon initial import using this method, the imported track may appear as one single layer within Procreate Dreams. You may need to adjust or expand the track within Dreams to access individual layers or frames depending on how Dreams processes the layered Procreate file for animation purposes.

This drag and drop method is the primary way to bring your source Procreate artwork, which may contain the individual layers or frames of your animation, into the Procreate Dreams environment for further work or sequencing.
