my timeline won't play while trying to make a time-lapse video from a JPEG image sequence

Question

my timeline won't play while trying to make a time-lapse video from a JPEG image sequence. i am new to the PS, i shot my sequence of images in RAW ( Canon, CR2) and first imported in PS adobe raw and exported as image sequence in a new folder as JPEG. Imported back the image sequence with proper numbering into PS. the time line shows up a video group, ( its not playing now), after making the image size 4K and converting to a smart object i exported /rendered as video. the resultant output created another series of JPEG imaghes not a video. i saw many youtube videos but could not get the solution.

while importing the video group has a red warning symbol, saying available only in PS. but im using PS only. sharing a screenshot.

You need to start a new thread. Tell us your Photoshop version? Your operating system and version?

A full res screen shot of your entire workspace showing timeline and layers panel.

Describe your workflow, and link to any tutorials you used to get to where you are.

From what I can see of the screen shots further up this thread, I suspect that the OP had not actually created a timelapse, which is why it wouldn't play. You should be able to see the video play in the timeline, and if that is working, then use Media Encoder to render the video. Thetr are lots of presets available, but you need to plan your project before you start. i.e. size your JPGs to fit the video format — 1080P, 2K, 4K...

If you can do that we'll take it fropm there.

Thanks. I managed to figure it out, and in my case you are totally right. Ps didnt manage to open my photos as a sequence even though the photos are numbered sequentially. And it didnt throw a warning or anything. I exported them again (LrC) with new numbering, and after that everything worked as it should!
