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

Community Beginner ,

Copied

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!

But mine didn't have that option, and this was the first thing I've found in TWO DAYS of searching, and it worked!!! THANK YOU!!!! *sobbing quietly into my computer, wishing I had my own IT department*

When I try to open the 229 files i exported from lightroom (test-001.jpg to test-229.jpg) as a sequence, only the first file opens and it makes a 10 second stil image.  Any ideas? I have search the other topics here but have unable to find a resolution.  It seems like a very simple process so I am wondering if I am missing something?

 

Thoughts?

Hi,

 

We're sorry about the trouble with Photoshop 22.4.2 on your M1 mac while trying to create a timelapse. Would you mind telling us how you are importing/opening the image sequence in Photoshop. When you select the first image in the open dialog box, please ensure you have the option for Image Sequence checked. If that is not working, please share a video recording of what's happening or screenshots of the open dialog box along with the layers panel.

 

You can check out the below mentioned links for reference:

Your source files could be too large.

At that size each frame would be ~41 mb becoming a 9gb original file before adding the timeline and other items.

Reduce the size of your source files and try again.

The video Nikunj posted was the exact video I was following for my tutorial. His files were much larger and he had no problem. So I don't think it's  a size issue. I will see if I can somehow record the issue. It seems to always import oy the 1st photo, no matter how I rename them or export them from lightroom. They all are going to an empty folder so they are the only files in that folder.

Just a follow up.  After trying and trying to figure this out on the release and beta versions, this appears to be an M1 Silicon issue.  I enabled Rosetta emulation instead in both Photoshop Release and Beta and they both work flawlessly and as expected.  Too bad, as having the M1 run nativity was such a great advantage of the M1 Macbooks.

Will someone please help me figure out this issue. I have looked everywhere and found nothing. 

 

I recently bought a new laptop (the newest macbook pro) and have the latest version of PS insalled and for some reason the option for video layers is not appearing in the menu. 

 

I've attatched a screenshot of what I am seeing. I have heard of many others having this issue as well.

Hi,

 

We're sorry about the trouble with Photoshop while trying to create a video layer on your new MacBook Pro. Would you mind confirming if you have bought the new M1 Macbook or is it one with an Intel processor? Which macOS version are you running on it?

 

If you have bought the new M1 Mac, try running Photoshop with Rosetta emulation instead of running natively. Please check: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-for-apple-silicon.html

 

Let us know if this helps!

Regards,

Nikunj

What type of video are you trying to render: one made from actual video clips or one made from still images? It looks like you are creating an image sequence rather than a video using video clips. Can you also show a screen capture of your timeline?
