SESSION DESCRIPTION

Roles are a very powerful, but little understood, feature in Apple Final Cut Pro X. They can help organize clips in the Browser or Timeline, control captions in multiple languages, clean up the Timeline and simplify audio mixes. Plus, the latest version of Final Cut (10.4) added even more flexibility to this feature.

In this week’s session, join Larry Jordan as he illustrates what Roles are, how they work and how to use them in your projects. This session includes using Roles to:

  • Organize clips in a project
  • Determine clip visibility in the Timeline
  • Work with titles in multiple languages
  • Use Roles to organize and group audio clips
  • Create audio stems and apply the Limiter filter
  • Export multitrack audio

Roles an simplify even highly-complex projects – and this week’s session shows you how to put them to work.

AUDIENCE LEVEL

This advanced-level session does not require knowledge of Final Cut Pro X, but you’ll get more out of it if you have a basic understanding of how the software works. This training is delivered as a QuickTime movie.
