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

[ZoeB9093]

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!

Any one had any luck with this?

I was saving the same issue with importing video files and image sequences. I'm using Photoshop on Big Sur with an M1 processor on Macbook Pro. I learned that if I open Photoshop in Rosetta, I can import video and image sequences! 

To do this:

Go to Applications > Photoshop > Open the Photoshop Folder> Click the Photoshop Application within the Photoshop folder > Right Click > Get Info > Check the box for Open with Rosetta

Cool, I'll give that a try!
One would think Adobe could address this after it being problematic for 2+
years.

I am completely missing the option of Render Video (File>Export>Render Video) . Not even greyed out just gone. The available option is "Render Image Sequence" . The timeline option "Create video animation" is missing too. Can anyone help on this one?

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

Hi @default3wxzo68cssb4 

I've copied this from the link Dave posted earlier:

"Features not available in the native mode

"Refer to the below list to determine whether to open Photoshop in Native mode or open using Rosetta. 

"To learn how to run Photoshop in Rosetta, see About Rosetta.

• "Import, Export, and playback of embedded video layers"

I wanted to render a Timeline into a MP4 video with Photoshop. But the media encoder doesn't work in Photoshop and the option isn't available. What can i do? 

[davescm]

For video you will need to run Photoshop under Rosetta.

Dave

[paulr51633154]

Hi @Alexandr5C6D 

You need to run Photoshop under Rosetta to use video with the M1 chip. Details here:

[Narapat5FF0]

Yes, it's M1.

Thank you very much.

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Are the video features available when you run Photoshop under Rosetta? 

[LeungDa]

Great Answer!!!

Can confirm that this works for my M1 Air! Imported several videos this way.

[enesworx]

Hey there, I'm facing the same issue. Could you maybe tell me how to install the Intel version on M1?
Coulnd't figure it out. Thanks in advance!

[enesworx]

My god, thank you so much!!

Hello people, maybe it's an old topic, but I can't find an answer. I use version 22.4.0 photoshop on a MacBook Pro M1. 
Today I wanted to open video layer in my layer menu. 
The video layer is not visible in the list. 
Help needed!

Grtz Alfons. 

[Mylenium]

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

Rosetta 2 makes it work.
