It would be helpful to have a set of Sequence/Project settings on a timeline that includes useful information when rendering a sequence.
This could include:
Video Resolution
Video Frame Rate
Audio Sample Rate
Audio output channels
Color Space
We should avoid things that don't materially impact how the timeline is evaluated (e.g. output codecs) - those would generally be determined by the context of the application doing the render. Making the proper judgement call on these will be an ongoing challenge.

Currently in tlRender I make a guess at the settings by using the video and audio from the first clip in the timeline. This works mostly OK but fails in some situations and also requires opening the media.
