P: (Win) PS 25.11 Frame Slider on the timeline does not render preview

[Arashocky]

I need some help on this new issue I'm having with the Frame Slider on Photoshop timeline.
It's hard to explain but I'll try my best!
When I move the slider for the first time I can see the animation but when the preview is ready (the little green bar) when I move the slider, it stops showing the frames until I stop moving the slider. 

I captured it in the attached video.

Hey there!

I can recreate this & I've let the team know. Please add your upvote to the post.

You can install Photoshop 25.9.1 from the Creative Cloud (Steps here) as a temporary workaround to restore the functionality.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I've been experiencing an issue with the timeline feature in Photoshop. Normally, when I drag the playhead (scrubber) across the frames in the timeline, the frames would preview smoothly without me needing to stop or release the playhead. However, now it only shows the preview when I actually stop and release the playhead over a specific frame, rather than updating the preview continuously as I move the scrubber.

This issue is really disrupting my workflow, as I can’t get a smooth preview while scrubbing through the timeline. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any help!

We have fixed the issue and it will be in a future release.

When I scroll in my photoshop timeline, my animation is not updating as it should. Instead the animation is static. When I release the mouse button it updates the animation based on the position. But in general if I scroll through my animation, I should be able to see it moving, right? Well, it's not happening. Anyone has sollution? 

Could it be my graphic card? I hard reseted the photoshop, uninstalled it and reset all preferences, and it's still an issue.

I'm using OMEN 15, GTX 2060 NVIDIA.

Another bug that might be connected to this issue is, when I open new window (Windows-Arrange-New Window for (this file))  and when I paint, it should update automatically for me to be able to see what is happening on that screen, and that is not the case.

This is also addressed/fixed in a future update.
