The New Timeline dialog with standard customization settings
However, you have the option of creating separate timelines with individual Format (including
Input Scaling), Monitoring, and Output Sizing settings, for situations where you need to set up
multiple timelines to create multiple deliverables with different resolutions, pixel aspect ratios,
frame rates, monitoring options, or output scaling options than the overall project, including
“Mismatched Resolution Files” settings. To choose individual settings, click the Use Custom
Settings button in the New Timeline dialog, and additional controls will appear.
Clicking Use Custom Settings exposes additional
panels for individualized timeline settings
Once you’ve created a timeline with individual settings, you can edit its settings by right-clicking
that timeline in the Media Pool, and choose Timelines > Timeline Settings from the contextual
menu. An Edit Timeline dialog appears, with separate panels for Format, Monitor, and Output
settings that you can choose.
You can also click Use Basic Settings to have that timeline use the project-wide timeline
settings instead.
Creating Blank and Stringout Timelines
If you’re cutting a new video or audio program, you’ll usually want a blank timeline. However,
the same command can be used to create stringout timelines when putting together dailies by
turning the “Empty Timeline” checkbox off.
