Hey all! I found a bug while animating in Photoshop CC using with the timeline panel. As you can see below in the screenshot, all my layers and groups are visible (the encircled eye icons), and the Transform tool can detect the contents of the "1 Red" group. However on the canvas everything shows up empty/ invisible.
I tried creating a new document and then duplicating my existing layers onto it, restarting Photoshop, and restarting my computer, but the bug's still there. I've had to go back to a previously saved working copy of my file and re-work from there, but I thought I'd post this in case anyone else is experiencing this bug (and hopefully this catches the attention of PS developers)
My Mac OS version: Sierra
If anyone found a fix, please comment below! Thanks!

We can't see enough of your workspace to make sense of it. The video timeline shows the 'Video Group' Layer 2 but we can't see what the Opacity is set to because you have cut that off. We can't see if the other groups are Video Groups because a) the groups are closed, so we can't see if they contain layers, and b) we can't see enough of the timeline to see if there are other video groups scrolled out of the visible part of the timeline.

The groups are twirled open so we can see their contents
You can see the transform handles for layer 1, but its opacity is 0% so the transparency chequerboard is showing.
It might well be that you have discovered something, but we can't tell from the information you have provided.
The opacity for video group 2 is 100%, but we obviously can't see its contents until the CTI is over that part of the timeline.
Hey Trevor! Here's the full screenshot (I previously cut off some bits because the project's confidential, but I just renamed the layers so that I may attach it here)
As you can see, some of the layers have content in them, and they're all at 100% opacity, and the playhead is over the first group in the timeline, but it's still invisible in the canvas 
i had the same issue. frames are all there (yes i know they say copy of in all the layers, i was copying the first layer and then making minor changes everytime but thats besides the point) yet still i cant see anything anymore. sadly i couldnt find a solution for it. i hope someday someone can find a solution 😞
