Merge custom subroles
You can merge a subrole with another subrole (in any role in your library). Any clips in the
library that were assigned the original subrole are assigned the merged subrole instead.
1. In Final Cut Pro, open the role editor.
2. Move the pointer over the role with the subroles you want to merge, then click Show
Subroles.
3. Move the pointer over one of the subroles you want to merge.
A handle (three horizontal lines) appears at the right end of the subrole.
4. Use the handle to drag the subrole to the subrole you want to merge it with.
The subroles are merged into one subrole. The existing role assignments of the source
subrole change to the target subrole across every clip in the library.
Move a subrole to another role
You can move a subrole from one role to another. All of the existing assignments of the
subrole in the library are maintained but are updated to show the new parent role.
1. In Final Cut Pro, open the role editor.
2. Move the pointer over the role that contains the subrole you want to move, then click
Show.
3. Move the pointer over the subrole you want to move.
A handle (three horizontal lines) appears at the right end of the subrole.
4. Use the handle to drag the subrole to the role you want to move it to.
For the most precise and powerful audio editing, you can also display all subroles for one
or more roles.
