Ive looked everywhere and cant find any answers, im working in 4k and imported my 4k footage to resolve after clicking conform timeline to footage resolution. i have done all my grading and have now realised the timeline is back at 1080p. Ive gone into settings and set everything to 4k but timeline stays at 1080p. what can I do?

If you create a new 4K timeline in the same project, can you copy all the edited/graded clips from the old timeline?

By the way, when you changed the timeline resolution, did you have the timeline selected in the media pool? The Metadata pane doesn't refresh its data until you deselect it.

I tried copying and pasting the edit but it didnt copy and paste the grade!

This didn't work.

What's convinced you that the timeline is 1080p? Your master preferences say otherwise.

Have you installed the free version by mistake? That has a 3840 x 2160 limit.

coz the timeline says 1080p

Other than the values in the Master Preferences, which govern every timeline in the project, I've never seen an indicator of timeline resolution.

Screenshot?

That looks like a 4K timeline to me.

It's a known issue. The inspector shows an incorrect setting when displaying timeline info. It is correctly displayed in the Edit Page bin.

I can't find timeline resolution in the Inspector, but I see now that resolution supplied in the Metadata doesn't respond to changes in the master preferences. Maybe that's what OP was looking at? It does update in list view, in the Media Pool.

Changes in the preferences only apply to the next timeline generated.

But there's only one timeline resolution per project, and that's determined by the current Master Preferences setting. The resolution supplied in the Metadata panel for projects created before the change of master preferences is apparently wrong (it doesn't correctly update).

To anyone still concerned about this issue: find your timeline in the edit-bin, right click: timelines-->timeline settings --> change timeline/monitor resolution.
