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!

    Do you have a macbook pro 2021? If you have this model of Mac, you need to open Photoshop with Rosetta

    I'm trying to create a GIF with transparency, and whenever I bring in a PNG or TIF sequence (with alpha), all the timeline shows me is the first frame of the animation (which I created in After Effects). The icon to the left of "Layer 1" displays a little red box with a question mark in it. The only suggestion I've found for what that means is that the file has moved. It hasn't. I JUST pointed Photoshop to the sequence the step before that.

     

    Can anyone help me, please? Thanks.

    Because it's not supported on ARM (m1) based Photoshop version.

    Hello, I have some problem with the timeline of Photoshop.

    When I open the timeline i don't have the option "timeline for video" but I have just "timeline with frame".

    And even if I open first "timeline with frame" I can convert in any way the timeline. Is very frustrating!
    someone could help me? 

    Thanks!

    The timeline that opens by default is the video timeline. You have the controls at the top of the panel for video, look closer. See the play triangle in your screenshot?

      Still not working on M1Max, can't open with Rosetta in PS 23 or 22. 6 months after it was promised.

          "What is this Rosetta work-around?"

           

          "Rosetta 2 enables a Mac with Apple silicon to use apps built for a Mac with an Intel processor."

          https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861

           

          There are a few issues with Photoshop and Apple's new Silicon. If you need to use these features, you will need to run Photoshop 2022 through Rosetta. See this page for details:

          Adobe - What is this Rosetta work-around????? My company pays for an expensive subscription and all of the features don't work? This is unacceptable - when are you fixing this issue with Photoshop?
