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

[Zoe5D66]

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!

If you have an M1, the instructions are above in the thread, but I've copied and pasted here: in the CC app under "all apps" you click the 3 dots next to Photoshop, and select "Open (Intel)" and that will resolve it. - Brit Collins

It works BUT!! I had to close out my photoshop files, force quit Photoshop, and then "open (intel). Start a new file> then click on the video timeline. it works. thanks brit!!

Hi, I am desperate to bring back the Export > Render video function. This was the perfect setup for stop motion. Now there are only tedious work arounds and you need to use multiple programs.

Adobe article for reference on stop mo process (no longer possible now):

Hello, dose anyone know how to solve this bug? My MP4 files aren't recognized by Ps...

As others have stated, the workaround for opening video files within Photoshop on an M1 Mac is to run Photoshop under Rosetta:

• Highlight the Photoshop app in the applications folder

• Command + i opens up the info window

• tick the box "Open using Rosetta"

I see how I can export a Timeline Video, but there doesn't seem to be a way to export Frame Animations anymore in Photoshop 23.1.0?? This has been a part of my workflow for a while. Any tips?

Not sure if this may help, but I do animations in PSD with students...Maybe check out this link for Rendering Video (you can open Render Video and export specific frames in this setting).

Bonjour, 

je viens d'installer Photoshop sur mon MacOS M1, j'ai bien suivi la procédure d'installation, or je n'ai plus accès ni au montage video ni à l'ouverture de fichier video sur photoshop alors que j'y arrivai très bien depuis mon ancien ordinateur, à quoi cela est dû ? 

Cordialement,

il faut ouvrir photoshop avec Rosetta sur le M1 pour avoir accès au montage vidéo.

Pour ça il faut faire un command+i sur l'icone de l'application et cocher la case ouvrir avec Rosetta.

Puis lancer l'application. Attention cela rame pas mal !

Merci ça marche !!

Hello

I try to animate elements in photoshop with the timeline window but it doesnt work.

The buttons are greyed out and.

I've got Photoshop v23.1.1 on macosx 12.1

Thanks

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Timeline, Options Bar, …) visible? 

Have you clicked the »Create … Animation«-button yet?

Hi, if you are using an M1 Mac, that's expected.

Start Photoshop in Rosetta mode: In the CC application, select Photoshop in the installed program section, click on the ... menu and select Open in Intel mode. see: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-for-apple-silicon.html

My Photoshop app does not have "render video" option under File or under the four line button on my Timeline. I am trying to save my .gif file as a video and have no idea how to render it without the button.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. We're here to help.

Which version of Photoshop are you using? 

Please go to File> Export > Render image sequence and check if that works.

For more details, look at this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/saving-exporting-video-animations.html.

Let s know if that works.

Thanks.

There is no "Export Video" item in the "File" menu "Export". Because of this, I can't save my animation. What should I do? Help me please.

Late to the party, but also frustrated by the lack of current support for rendering videos.

My work around, because I'm not interested in downloading yet another software, to accomplish a simple task that an older version of Photoshop is capable of, (besides the point) if it's not Apple its an OS. They both love pointing fingers.

Not ideal, BUT...I've rendered a stop motion by Saving for Web as a GIF (compresses file and definitely isn't ideal) then render GIF as an MP4 through After Effects or Premier Pro. 

I hope this helps as an alternative to downloading more software that may or may not complicate things.

Also, hoping Apple and Adobe learn to hold hands sooner than later.

You are the GOAT! I wasted hours over this..... Thanks!

Hola, al intentar abrir cualquier video en Photoshop (23.1.1) con macOS Monterey v12.2 MacBookPro M1PRo, me dice que no reconoce el archivo y no me deja abrirlo.

Hi

Take a look here, you need to run Photoshop under Rosetta
