How do I switch from Frames to Timeline in Animation panel?

I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 and I am trying to switch from Frames to Timeline in the Animation Panel. I have read in other forums that there should be a menu in the bottom right corner of the panel, but none is appearing in my panel. (Screenshot attached)

Thanks in advance for your help.

    I do not think so. I think I just have regular Photoshop CS5 Version 12.1 x32

    Is switching between Frame/Timeline only an option in Photoshop Extended?


    Quote from the Help:

    Timeline mode controls (Photoshop Extended)

    In timeline mode, the Animation panel includes the following features and controls:

    So it would appear that, yes, you would need Photoshop Extended to use timeline animation.

    Click on this guy at the left bottom of the timeline:

    or on timeline,

    menu > Delete Timeline

    it will bring you back to the choice between timeline or frames.

    Have you tried the pop up menu (the triangle and lines-icon on the right near the top)? »Convert to Video Timeline« should be the item.

    Thanks for your reply. I have tried that and it is not an item in the menu. Here is the screenshot of the menu that appears:
