Simon,
I don't know if you have been following this. Apparently, my
experiences is not the same as Tim's.
While we can indeed create new genres in the Home Videos area, but,
unlike Tim, I am unable to do this with purchased movies. I can change a
genre to one that already is in the genre table but cannot create a new
one. If you are running Catalina and have your library set up there, try
it. Keep in mind, I did not upgrade but rather, a clean install.

Yeah I thought you could set your own genre?
Or is that only when we used Itunes to do this type of stuff.

Hi,
Hmmmm. I had a home video of some black bear cubs playing around that I
changed from a genre I named as "Nature" to a genre I just named as
"Wildlife". After changing it to Wildlife, this genre showed up in the
Genre table that I could change my purchased Avengers, End Game to
Wildlife if I felt like it. I hate it when something works for one
person, but not another.

Frayed knot. :( All the genres I want are in Home Videos but are
invisible in the genre listing in Movies. That will only list the actual
genres of the purchased content.
Strangely, all the purchased content is also in Home Videos yet I
cannot change the genre. In other words, say I have a Kids and Family
purchased movie and want to change it to Family. No can do.

Hi,
A workaround is to create the Genre within the Home Videos grouping
of movies. This should now add it to the main grouping that you can
choose from when manipulating the purchased items. You'll need to
modify one of your Home videos, then go into the purchased ones, set
it to the new genre then you should be able to go back to the Home
Videos and change it back to its original genre. There needs to be
at least one item with that genre for it to appear in the list. I
haven't tested this with a lot of videos, but it did work on one.

Hi Tim,
This works as always in Home Videos. Not in Movies (purchased).
If a genre does not already exist, I cannot type one in. I do not
recall if I could do this in iTunes but then I did not have to learn
how to work with the new changes. This is where I think Apple could
have left well enough alone.

Hi,
You should just be able to type your desired genre into the
field. If the genre doesn't already exist, then it should be
automatically added.

Running macOS Catalina, how does one add genres to entries
in Get Info? I can change them but the available list genres is
rather skimpy.
