3 Type a name for the subrole.
The new subrole remains in the Subrole list and appears below its parent role in roles
lists elsewhere in Final Cut Pro. When you assign subroles to clips in the Timeline, the
subroles also appear in the Timeline Index.
Subroles
View clips by role in the Timeline
You can use the Roles pane of the Timeline Index to view and play back clips by role in
the Timeline.
All video and audio clips are organized by the default roles of Video, Titles, Dialogue,
Music, or Eects, or by a custom role or subrole you’ve created. You can turn o roles
to suspend playback for all clips with those roles assigned. For example, you could
turn o all roles except Dialogue to play back only dialogue clips, and then turn on the
Music role to listen to the movie soundtrack along with the dialogue.
Roles give you a powerful way to organize and preview clips before exporting them as
les for broadcast or audio post-production.
Note: Turning roles on or o in the Timeline Index does not aect export settings or
clip settings in the Event Browser, the Timeline, or the inspectors.
