  • Whenever I try to drag and drop a video to the timeline, the screen resolution changes

    Posted by Tony Chen on August 20, 2017 at 4:41 am

    Notice how in [image 1](https://i.imgur.com/sOqlRWo.png), my project says 1920×1080 (see Red arrow pointing in Red box). This was my original project settings. However, if I were to drag and drop the video from the screenshot to the timeline, it will show whatever the size of the video is, as shown on [image 2](https://i.imgur.com/btgEjFY.png).

    So how do I make it so the project’s size does not change because I dropped a smaller resolution clip on the timeline? I want to keep the full resolution project to 1920×1080.

    Do you see this when you Drag the Media to the Timeline?:

    Yeah I’m pretty sure I actually checkboxed this a long time ago. How do I untoggle this?

    Open Preferences. It’s on the main tab, about six down, is how you reveal the Warning.
