I am trying to create an animated GIF using a series of photos. I am using the guide from Create animated GIFs |  However when I get to the Step 3 (Convert layers into animation frames) When I click on the right menu of the Timeline the options I see are different than the ones shown in the guide.

Be sure Timeline is visible (Window, Timeline)

Be sure Create Frame Animation is selected (drop down, middle of Timeline)

Click on Create Frame Animation, (drop down, middle of Timeline) this will insert your top layer into timeline.

Click flag icon on upper right of Timeline- you will now be able to see Make Frame From Layers - click on it and all of your frames will show up in timeline

The timeline Palette supports  two types of timelines.  A frame Animation Timeline or Video timeline.  Make sure you First used used Create Frame animation if that is what you are trying to do.  Use the Pull-down select create Frame Animation the click the create frame animation button,

We can't really work anything out from your description.  Can you paste a screen shot of your entire workspace showing the layers panel and the timeline please?  Don't downsize it.  Just copy to clipboard, and paste here with Ctrl v

Thanks

I have the same problem and I'm using PS CC2019. Here is the screen with the menu options we are getting. It just doesn't mirror the options in the Help Tutorial. Please can you help point us in the right direction. I've even changed my layers to JPG and PNG's and this still doesn't help. I've loaded the JPGs from Stack etc as directed too. (BTW - Timeline options at the bottom of screen don't seem to be active or do anything? perhaps this is part of the issue also  - or perhaps CC2019 works differently?  (I'm replying to Trevor.Dennis where he has asked for a screen shot)  - Does anyone have a solution to this problem ?

    Try clicking the create Frame Animation Button in the timeline Panel you show to start your frame animation.
