Resolve 16 Studio on Mac. I have 3840x2160 clips. Right-click on clip, select "create timeline using selected clips." New timeline is 1920. (Checking res via Reslolve metadata panel).

Is this a bug, or user error?

Resolve metadata panel sometimes shows the wrong resolution. Check the resolution in the media pool.

Just checked--it's showing as 1920x1080 in media pool as well.

I think the new Timeline inherits your current Project timeline settings by default.

You can either change the Project "Timeline resolution" in "Project Settings" (at any time) and all non-custom timelines should change to the new setting. The Project resolution can also be changed via the Cut page resolution drop-down (top-right).

Or you can select "Use Custom Settings" > "Format" and specify the desired resolution when creating the new timeline.

That solves it, thanks. And didn't realize the Cut page had that dropdown, that's helpful.
