Something great that exists in Final Cut Pro X, but in no other nonlinear editor is roles. What are roles? How do they work? Are roles beneficial to your post-production workflow? In this video, learn what roles are and how to use them in your edit project in Final Cut Pro X.
- [Instructor] We have the ability to…look at these thumbnails in Final Cut…or we can see it as a list with some metadata.…I want to show you how I think of both.…Something unique to Final Cut 10 is called roles.…Roles are the idea that a clip like this interview clip,…these two items here entirely,…well they're dialog elements.…I'm going to go up here…and choose Modify,…and I can assign an audio role,…it's already pre-assigned dialogue,…and video roles, this has already beem assigned video.…We can edit these roles and add other roles for footage…and where this becomes really powerful…is when we deal with audio.…
I'm going to hit cancel here.…So I could, for example, go to all my machine items.…Let's hide my inspector.…Let's pull this way over,…pull this way over.…I'm going to select all the elements here under Machines,…and I'm going to go up to Modify,…and I'd like to assign them a different audio role.…I'd like Final Cut to think of them as Effects.…When I drag these to a timeline,…I'm just going to drag one of these clips…
