What may happen if you change timeline resolution after editing?

• A. It may require re-rendering the timeline
• B. It may cause scaling changes
• C. It may change the color space
• D. It may impact scaling changes across edits

Answer: (B)

Changing the timeline resolution defines the size of your project’s canvas, so after editing, switching to a different frame size directly changes how every clip is scaled to fit that canvas. Because Resolve recalculates each clip’s scale to fill the new frame, you’ll typically see clips appear larger or smaller, crops may tighten or widen, and any motion effects like zooms or pans can shift in how they’re displayed. Color space isn’t affected by changing resolution, and you don’t automatically re-render anything just from adjusting the canvas size; rendering happens when you export at a chosen resolution. So the most noticeable and consistent outcome is scaling changes across your edits.
