I am trying to make an animating photo on photoshop for an assignment in my digital design class but the create timeline option isn't showing up for me . I Have a Dell Inc. XPS 13 and the version of photoshop 26.8 and idk if it's the computer that doesn't support this feature since I was otp with adobe and they tried to help me fix with cleaning the adobe, unistalling and reintalling, and I even reset preferences and nothing. If anyone has suggestion on how to fix it pls let me know.

Hey, @betsy_8843. You've got some great advice from @Glenn 8675309 & @Jeff Arola. To add my 2 cents, in the Timeline Panel, you have two options in the dropdown menu to select between 'Create Frame Animation' & 'Create Video Timeline'.

If you're already in a video timeline, you can use the Timeline Options menu from the right corner & select Delete Timeline to get the selections shared above to Create a Frame Animation.

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!

Could you post a screenshot of what your seeing when you have Window>Timeline showing like in Glenn's screenshots?

Also from within Photoshop go to Help>System Info and paste the contents here on the forum.
