Major difference: Project type

“

- [Instructor] For those of you coming from Premier or Final Cut 7 or Final Cut 10, a major difference here in Resolve is our project has one fixed resolution and frame rate. To see this, you go up to the File menu and choose Project Settings, and it's here under Master Settings, where you can set your timeline resolution along with your frame rate. Once you've added one clip, though, your frame rate's physically locked. It's possible to drop this timeline resolution if you wanted to while you were working. It's actually a way to improve DaVinci's performance. And you could even do so for output. Just keep in mind that if you do change the size of anything, you want to know what Resolve is doing for its image scaling for how it handles files that are larger than the screen size. And right now mine's set to scale the entire image to fit. You're limited to UHD in the free version. In the studio version, you can go up to 4k and higher. This has nothing to do with what gets outputted…
