Hi,

I'm doing a video timeline and the only way to see all the layers is to render the video, which is absolute madness, both process-wise and time-wise.

Someone else had this problem, it's marked as solved but is not- https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/photoshop-cc-2019-animation-bug-layers-showing-up-empty/m-p/10223482#M215447

Can somebody help pleeeaaasse? I would be forever grateful!

Hopefully you have this figured out by now, it's been about 2 1/2 years since you posted the question. I am posting because I was having the same problem and it was making me nuts, and I happened to find the answer to my issue. For some reason when I loaded a video clip into Photoshop, the layer style was defaulting to pass through instead of normal, so when I would try to add a adjustment layer it would show up in the layers pallet but not in the video timeline above the layer I was trying to make the adjustment on.. so there was no way to apply the adjustment to just one part of the video clip. Posting this for anyone who is running across thi problem. I hope it helps. change your video layer to normal and it should fix the problem.

I don’t understand your problem, could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Timeline, Options Bar, …) visible?

Hi, Sorry late reply. I think the problem is large files, so computer lags when previewing video timeline, so it jumps between shots rather than showing video. The only way to see what I've edited is to render the video. THanks

Can you provide details about the file (pixel dimensions, length of videos, effects, …) and the performance and scratch disk preferences?

Photoshop’s video capabilities are limited and if it can’t leverage your computer’s resources to your satisfaction you may want to consider working with actual video editing software (After Effects, Premiere, non-Adobe software, …).
