timeline import - how to beat it?

PostWed Jun 18, 2025 2:18 pm

hi
I imported the timeline into the project, it created copies of the embedded clips, but ignores the quality changes during rendering.
Image
as a result, the rendering is only in a lower quality.
judging by the rendering speed, it is clearly not 4K, but 1080

If you are rendering Individual Clips you need to check the Render Timeline Effects box in Render Settings.

It says so right at the top: "Any modification done here will not impact the current loaded timeline".

Change the Timeline Settings instead of Project Settings.

I've never even heard of them.
I don't find this in the program menu.
the timeline settings on both projects are the same. I underestimate the quality during installation, but I always change it to full when rendering.
but in the case of importing not the entire project, but only a part of it, the program forbids this for some reason.

Your timeline has custom timeline settings applied.

On the Media page, right click the timeline then select Timelines - Timeline Settings...

You can either enable the "Use Project Settings" checkbox, to allow you to change things on the Project Settings page, or you can change things there in the Timeline Settings box.

thank you.
I've never understood developers who make 2 different menus in different sections of the same program.
They could just put it all in the general menu from above, and not mock like that. :(
I usually don't use the media page at all.

You can do the same in the Cut and Edit pages. It's just easier and less confusing to do it the first time from the Media page.
