P: Convert to Video Timeline option missing - Apple M1 devices

I am not able to select anything but "Create Frame Animation" in the Timeline. I am trying to create a Video Timeline, but not using Frame animation. This option isn't in the bottom left or top right of the Timeline menu.

I have tried resetting my preferences, uninstalling and re-installing, creating a new document, and converting all layers to smart objects, and none of those have worked. I have a macbook pro with macOS Big Sur version 11.2.3 with an Apple M1 chip.

Thank you for the help!

Hi!

I've made a sequence of 10 images in Illustrator and then I'm trying to open them in Photoshop to make an animated GIF.

I exported the images for screens as JPG100 in a separate folder. Named them properly (e.g. image 001, image 002, etc).

In Photoshop I clicked File -> Open -> Clicked on one of my images, clicked on the "image sequence" option, switched the workspace to "Timeline" and my timeline is not active.

I can't play the sequence, I can't change the resolution or do anything with it.

Anyone has this problem?

Thank you

P.S: I work on MacBook Pro 12.3 Monterey. Have an Adobe CCloud subscription and all my apps are up to date.

Hello!

I'm trying to make a gif in Photoshop 2022. Ideally, I'd like to import a video and then have Photoshop create frames from that video. I saw a tutorial on how to do that but my Photoshop no longer has the option to important videos. I've included a screenshot of my import options below.

I also thought I'd try another way using the Timeline but I don't have the "Create Video Timeline" option either. It is only "Create Frame Animation."

I would appreciate any help with how to create gifs and/or how to important a video into Photoshop 2022.

If you have an M1 Mac then you will need to run Photoshop under Rosetta in order to use video functions

Hi There, The problem is I can only download Rosetta if a specific App asks for in when launching. Now Photoshop does not ask me if I need or want the Rosetta when I launch Photoshop.

Hi I have a Macbook pro with M1 Pro and it perfectly works for me. I wanted to export a GIF from Photoshop and imported a image sequence folder into Photoshop, but it seemed not work. And I also cannot open or import a video into Photoshop. These works before I using M1 chip. After I setup open under Rosetta, everything back! It's amazing.

Bonjour,

depuis plusieurs temps, je n'arrive plus à ouvrir de fichier mp4. A l'installation de photoshop, j'arrivai à ouvrir ces fichiers dans mon logiciel mais plus maintenant. Comment cela se fait-il ?

merci à vous.

cordialement.

I have a scripted action that I used successfully in the past in Photoshop. When I tried running it the other day I got the error: "Could not complete your request because the footage is not a recognized format." I'm running Mac OS 12.1 on M1 iMac, and Photoshop 23.2.1

Does it have to do with the CODEC used? Like I mentioned, I used it fine on an older iMac and OS.

Hi geigreg,

unfortunately, Photoshop for Apple Silicon does not yet support video files. You'll need to run Photoshop in Rosetta instead:

Could you please try that and report back if importing your video works again?

Kind regards,
Maurice

Yes, that worked! It was very slow but I was able to complete the task. Thank you. Any idea when there will be video support for Silicon?

worst user experience I have been in contact with in a LONG while... impossible to talk to Adobe, the only way seems to be this forum where we post issues that never seem to get fixed.. it escapes my comprehension, HOW CAN WE STILL BE DEALING WITH THE TIMELINE MISSING ISSUE FOR M1 chips? IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND THE ISSUE IT IS STILL AND ISSUE! Adobe when are you intending to finally fix this? we pay good money for your service and make sure we get the right equipment to make the most of it, and you fail to listen to your users and fix what seems to be a very simple issue. CAN YOU PLEASE CREATE A SOLUTION TO THIS? We pay full service and can't access very basic functionalities such as this one, among other famous ones...do your work Adobe!! listen to your users and fix these issues ASAP!!

Hi. You can't access the Timeline panel on M1 computers? You should. Is not possible to use the "Convert to video" option but you should be able to open the Timeline panel. Have you tried resetting the preferences? https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset_preferences
