Which of the following is a potential consequence of changing the timeline resolution after editing?

• A. It may require additional color grading
• B. It may cause scaling changes
• C. It may reset audio effects
• D. It may crash the project

Answer: (B)

Timeline resolution sets the frame size that your sequence is rendered to, so changing it after editing forces Resolve to re-scale every clip to fit the new dimensions. This re-scaling is the direct effect you’ll notice: clips can look bigger, smaller, cropped, or letterboxed depending on the new size and the original clip dimensions. Other aspects like color grading or audio effects aren’t automatically altered by changing the frame size, and a crash isn’t a typical, expected outcome of this action. So the most evident and likely consequence is the change in how clips are scaled to fit the new timeline resolution.
