Choose Settings Before You Start

When you first create a new project, you need to define its Timeline settings; you can optionally choose from common presets or a fully custom setup.

Timeline Resolution Quick Menu

This drop-down menu, to the top-right of the Viewer, lets you quickly choose which resolution you want to work at. A Custom option lets you open up the Timeline Settings panel in order to choose your own options. For more information about the Timeline Settings, see Chapter 6, “Project Settings.”
