Procreate Animation and Time-lapse 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: How do you access the Time-lapse Replay of a Procreate artwork?
- Tap Actions > Video > Time-lapse Replay (Correct answer)
- Long-press the canvas with two fingers
- Tap the Share button and select Time-lapse
- Open the Layers panel and tap Record
Correct answer: Tap Actions > Video > Time-lapse Replay
Time-lapse Replay is found in the Actions menu (wrench icon) under the Video section.
Question 2: What resolution does Procreate record the time-lapse video at by default?
- 720p
- 1080p
- 4K (matching canvas size up to 4K) (Correct answer)
- 480p
Correct answer: 4K (matching canvas size up to 4K)
Procreate records time-lapse up to 4K resolution, matching the canvas dimensions up to a 4K cap.
Question 3: What happens to the time-lapse recording data if you export and then clear a Procreate canvas?
- The time-lapse video is permanently lost
- It saves to iCloud automatically
- It remains in the gallery file until you tap 'Clear Time-lapse' (Correct answer)
- It exports to Photos automatically
Correct answer: It remains in the gallery file until you tap 'Clear Time-lapse'
Time-lapse data is embedded in the .procreate file and persists until you explicitly choose to clear it from the Video settings.
Question 4: In Procreate Animation Assist, what does enabling 'Looping' do?
- Plays the animation frames in reverse
- Repeats the animation continuously after reaching the last frame (Correct answer)
- Merges all frames into a loop group
- Exports an infinite loop GIF
Correct answer: Repeats the animation continuously after reaching the last frame
Looping causes the animation playback to restart automatically after the last frame, playing it as a continuous loop.
Question 5: What is the 'Ping Pong' loop option in Procreate Animation Assist?
- Frames play forward then play backward in sequence, then repeat (Correct answer)
- Only odd frames are played
- Frames alternate between two layers
- The animation bounces in real-time to music
Correct answer: Frames play forward then play backward in sequence, then repeat
Ping Pong plays the animation forward to the last frame, then backward to the first, then repeats — creating a bounce loop effect.
Question 6: What does the Onion Skin 'Frames' slider in Procreate Animation Assist control?
- The total frame count of the animation
- How many adjacent frames are visible as ghost overlays (Correct answer)
- The opacity of the animation background
- The number of frames exported per second
Correct answer: How many adjacent frames are visible as ghost overlays
The Frames slider in Onion Skin settings controls how many frames before and after the current one are shown as semi-transparent overlays.
