Why I cannot find from timeline "make animation from layers" or similar ? I have watched tutorials and its supposed to be really really easy. Do I need to buy some kind of video extension .. I have student/teacher set.

Hi

When you first open the timeline in a document you are presented with a choice.

Click the down arrow in the middle (circled below) and you will see two choices. Create frame animation and Create video timeline. For your purpose choose "Create frame animation" which will now have a tick next to it as below

Then click on what is now the  Create Frame Animation button

Your layers will be added as frames. You can add new frames from the menu at the top right of the timeline

Thank you for the answers! I just don't find the place "create frame or make frames from layers! When I click timeline menu from right this is what I find.  Your menus looks totally different. Is there other menu somewhere..

You first need to click on that rectangular button in the lower centre of your screenshot "Create Frame Animation"

No reason to feel stupid. We are all still learning.

Ok. First, student and professional are the same. I think you are trying to do a frame animation. So let's go through the steps:

1. Open the Timeline panel. Window>Timeline. If it is checked it is in view.
2. Click on the disclosure triangle and choose: Create Frame Animation in the middle of the timeline.
   If you click on Create Video Timeline instead then just switch it to the Frame Animation timeline by clicking on the Convert to frame animation on the bottom left of the Timeline panel.
   
3. From the menu icon on the top right of the Timeline panel choose Make Frames from Layers.
   

Let me know if this answers your question.
