View and reassign roles in compound clips
Compound clips reect the roles of the original clips that make up the compound clip.
You can view and reassign the roles of clips inside a compound clip, but you cannot
assign roles to the compound clip itself.
1 Select a compound clip in the Event Browser or the Timeline.
2 To view the assigned roles or to assign a role to every clip inside the compound clip,
use the following methods:
 Roles column in the Event Browser in list view: Follow the instructions in “View and
reassign roles in the Event Browser,” above.
 Roles pop-up menu in the Info inspector: Follow the instructions in “View and reassign
roles in the Info inspector,” above.
 Roles column in the Clips pane of the Timeline Index: Follow the instructions in “View
and reassign roles in the Timeline Index,” above.
 Assign Roles command: Follow the instructions in “View and reassign roles with the
Modify menu,” above.
When you assign a role to a compound clip (the container), the role is assigned to
every clip inside the compound clip. If you want to assign dierent roles to specic
clips within the compound clip, you can open the compound clip for editing and then
assign roles to individual clips inside the compound clip.
For more information about compound clips, see “Compound clips overview” on
page 285.
