Hi, I have encountered a bug when trying to create a new video layer and I am looking for advice.
When attempting to create a new blank video layer through the layer menu following these steps -
Document Creation:
File > New > HDTV 1080p (1920 x 1080 px @ 72 ppi)
Once Document is Created:
Layer > Video Layers > New Blank Video Layer
- the actual Video Layers option no longer appears on the menu, I don't mean that it is disabled or greyed out, I mean that it actually isn't there (see image). I have installed and ran an older version of photoshop in an attempt to fix the issue but the exact same problem was present. I have checked this forum for similar posts but have not been able to find any posts matching this specific problem. To the best of my knowledge I haven't messed around with anything that could cause this kind of issue, but I'm not 100% sure.
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? Or what could potentially have caused this?
Key Details:
