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!

I recently got a new laptop, one of the m1 chip macs. previously I was able to import videos, which i use for animation, on a 2018 macbook air. now not even previous projects will not play their videos and the timeline feature no longer allows me to hit play. this is the error message I get when attemting to import any kind of video file:

"Could not place “filename.mov” because no parser or file format can open the file. "

Additionally im not able to do things like purge the video cache because:

"Could not complete the Video Cache command because DynamicLink is not available."

im not sure wether dynamic link is related.

For video functions, run Photoshop under Rosetta - see link below

I wasn't able to select or find the video layer at the Layers menu on Photoshop M1, It only appeared when I opened the app using Rosetta

Hi,

We're sorry about the trouble with Photoshop on the M1 Mac. This is a known issue where some Photoshop features work only using Rosetta emulation. Please check: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-for-apple-silicon.html

Our product team is working to ensure all features work in Photoshop while it runs natively on the M1 Macs.

Regards,

Nikunj

Timeline video is still not working on May 20 with latest releases, very frustrating for me too, was hoping for productivity and speed improvements from the new computer, instead can't work on my timeline projects at all. They should have publicised this major missing component in the software. Also cannot output previous timeline video files.

Frame animation ... argh, never use it - M1 definitely needs the video timeline feature.

When I try to export my GIF as a video to post on social media like Instagram and Facebook, it doesn't give me the option to do so. I attached a screenshot of all of the export options I am given. I was able to render my GIFs as a video on my old MacBook Pro.

»my old MacBook Pro.«

Is the new computer equipped with M1 Chip?

If so can you run Photoshop under Rosetta?

I figured out after struggling with it for about an hour. Hopefully they will bring back the option to render it as a video on the M1 version of Photoshop soon!

Certain features are not yet available on M1 Macs and video functions are amongst that.

For video you will need to run Photoshop under Rosetta.

Are you using an Apple computer with the M1 chipset? If so, try running it under Rosetta which should enable the video functions
