Tracks

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

Tracks work like layers, stacking 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 track from the Create menu → Track.

If you would like to create a Drawing or Flipbook, use these options in the Create menu and they will automatically place your content on available space on the current track, or in a new track, and pop you into Draw & Paint mode.

If you import images or audio, they will occupy empty space on the currently-highlighted track, if they can.

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 Create menu → Video. 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.

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.
