Organizing with Bins
The Avid system provides powerful database tools for organizing and
managing your digitized material. You can view bins in two different
display views. You can rename, print, sort, sift, duplicate, and delete clips.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Preparing to Work with Bins
• Understanding Bin Display Views
• Basic Bin Procedures
• Using Text View
Preparing to Work with Bins
There are several procedures you might want to perform before organizing
your project because they affect the display of information in bins or the
way the clips play back during screening:
• When working with film projects, organize digitized clips according to
scene. This practice keeps crowded bins to a minimum. See “Film
Scene Workflow” on page 106.
• If you want to customize the types of objects displayed in a bin, see
“Setting the Bin Display” on page 106.
• If you need to group or multigroup material, see the editing guide or
user’s guide for your Avid editing system.
