Its impossible to tell what you are doing from the partial screenshot you posted.

 I don't have the same stuff on the drop down from the Timeline - Make Frames from Layers.

By @Kiki384450283bci

 

Make Frames from Layers is a command, not a menu, so nothing else should be dropping down there. Choosing Make Frames from Layers converts all layers into frames, and that worked properly when I tried it.

 

If that doesn’t make sense, what “stuff” are you looking for, is it something described in a step in a lesson? If so, can you post a picture or paste text of the instructions you are trying to follow?

You have to create the frame animation before you can use Make frames from layers.

I think most of the Timeline commands are context sensitive.  Either they don't appear untill conditions are met, or they are greyed out.
