  • Sharing Roles between work stations

    Has anyone tried to share custom Roles between computers?

    I am trying to figure out how useful Roles are by setting up multiple custom named Roles.

    I don’t see a way to export them and I have not seen a way to delete them once they are created. I hope this will come in future versions.

    Do Roles get included in Events, when mounting on a different computer?

    To “delete” a Role, simply don’t use it anywhere, and restart FCPX. “Boom”. Goners. Seemes to work every time for me, apart from the pre defined (=’Video’ ‘Titles’ ‘Dialogue’ ‘Music’ ‘Effects’).If the behaviour doesn’t change, it implies that we should just create the Roles we need.

    This of course makes it hard to share custom Roles, unless the edit suites share database (which I don’t think they do, yet). I might be mistaken. And I can’t really check with apple.com right now since they’re down at the moment for putting up new shiny signs of new shiny toys.
