Tracks

Tracks contain the content used to create your movie. This can be imported content such as images, video, and audio, or content created in Procreate Dreams such as text and drawings.

Tracks work like layers, stacking content vertically on the Timeline. Visual content contained in your tracks is displayed on the Stage. Content at the top of the Timeline sits in the foreground of the Stage, and content at the bottom sits in the background.

To help see what content each track contains, a visual preview of the content is displayed along the track on the Timeline. Below are some basics to help get you started with using tracks and content on the Timeline.

Content tracks

Content tracks can contain content drawn in Procreate Dreams along with imported images, audio, and text. Create a new content track from the Add menu .

Learn about importing and creating content on the Content page of this handbook.

Video tracks

Video tracks enable you to use pre-encoded video in your movie. You can use a combination of video and content tracks to create engaging and dynamic movies. Create a video track from the Add menu . Video tracks are differentiated from content tracks by the sprocket holes displayed along their length.

Move track

Tracks can be moved vertically on the Timeline to reorder their appearance on the Stage. Moving a track higher on the Timeline will make its contents appear closer to the foreground.

To move a track:

1. Tap and hold on an empty area of a track.

2. Drag the track vertically up or down to reorder it amongst neighboring tracks.

Hide track

Hiding a track removes it from the Stage and stops it from being rendered in exported movies.

Follow these steps again to unhide a track.
