Empty Animation Window

Hi,

I've got this really annoying problem, my animation window is empty, no objects to be able to transform and animate.

I've reinstalled unity and created new projects to be sure.
I've also followed tutorials but there seems to be a problem as when they open their window mine remains empty, am I perhaps missing a package I need to include?

It's incredibly annoying, i've tried creating animation controllers and attaching them to things, but no matter what I do I can't seem to get the window to display anything at all.

It's the latest unity version on mac, is this perhaps a bug or?
I've used it before which is the strange thing, just recently I can't get anything.

Thanks for any help


EDIT:
Heres the solution

create new cube or sphare
open animation window
with the object you created selected, press "create new animation" or "add curve". this will create new animation file.
press on the butten "curves" at the bottom of the screen. (the one near the "dope sheet" button)
move the red line few frames forward and then move the object.
a movement curve should be created.
new you can play the animation and the object should move.
