did you know roles is event specific?

This is extremely significant...so you can get super detailed in one project in regards to assigning roles to clips but that list simplifies when you remove that project from the event browser.

Was this widely known? Or did I just miss the boat somewhere?

Well I guess I was applying my experience which is to work on one event at a time. So when I remove the event with custom roles assigned, it goes back to default roles only.

A) nothing is the same as anything, anymore. That's the problem and the opportunity.
B) databasiness is akin to magneticosity - only more subtle.
C) I'm too tired to explain anything - and if you ask a certain group of people here, they'll likely swear on teetering stacks of bibles that I've never actually properly explained anything to anyone on any subject - ever.

Such is life.

Anyone develop any creative roles and care to share? I'm really interested in the assignments u could have...
