You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.

Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.

If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.
