Before You Begin
There are several procedures you might want to perform before orga-
nizing your project because they affect the display of information in
bins or the way the clips play back during screening:
• If you would like to customize the types of objects (clips, subclips,
and so on) displayed in a bin, see “Setting the Bin Display” on
page 142.
• If you need to group or multigroup material, see “Grouping and
Multigrouping Clips” on page 550.
• If you would like to center the pan between the left and right
speakers for some or all of the clips in a bin, see “Using the Center
Pan Command” on page 146.
• If you digitized some of your video and audio clips separately,
and need to synchronize them for editing, see “Autosyncing
Clips” on page 530.
• When working with a 24p project, if you sync audio and video
clips and find that the audio needs to be slipped slightly at the
perforation level to achieve true sync, see “Resyncing Subframe
Audio” on page 534. (35mm project type only)
• If you digitized clips by using LTC (longitudinal timecode)
recorded on an audio track, and would like to instruct the system
to address this timecode during editing, see “Using Audio Time-
code” on page 146.
Setting the Bin Display
By default, your bins display all existing media objects except source
clips and rendered effects. To reduce crowding in the bin and to dis-
play only those objects that you need to organize your project, you can
display selected media objects.
