Create custom roles and subroles
You can create custom roles and subroles in addition to the five default roles (Video, Titles,
Dialogue, Music, and Effects).
Important: Create custom roles and subroles with care. Custom roles (and the names of custom
roles) cannot be edited or removed from the roles list. However, you can change the role
assignments of clips at any time.
