Bin Settings

The following table describes options available in Bin Settings.

Bin Settings

Option Description

Auto-Save interval n minutes Specifies the length of time between attempts to auto-save project files. The

default is 15 minutes.

To avoid interrupting an edit, the Avid system waits until the system is inactive

before auto-saving. Use the option “Force Auto-Save at” to specify an interval

at which the system interrupts an edit to make the auto-save.

Inactivity period n seconds Specifies the length of time the Avid system waits when the system is inactive

before automatically saving the project files. The default is 0 seconds.

Force Auto-Save at n minutes Specifies the maximum length of time between auto-saves. When the system

reaches this time, it auto-saves the project files even if it must interrupt an edit

to do so. The default is 30 minutes.

Maximum files in a project’s

attic

Specifies the total number of files stored in the Avid Attic folder. When a bin is

saved, the Avid system copies the current version of the bin to a special folder

called the Avid Attic. The default is 30 files.

Keep more files if there are many editors working on the system. This ensures

that all the bins are backed up.

Max versions of a file in the

attic

Specifies the total number of single-bin copies stored in the Avid Attic folder.

This setting prevents filling the Avid Attic with too many copies of one bin, at

the risk of losing the others. The default is five copies.

Double-click loads object in Determines what happens when you double-click an object in the bin.

New Pop-up

Monitor

Creates a new Source pop-up monitor and automatically loads the clip when

you double-click an object in the bin.

Source or Record

Monitor

• When you have the Source/Record monitor stretched into two monitors,

loads the clip into the Source monitor or the sequence into the Record

monitor.

• When you are using the single Source/Record monitor, loads the clip or

sequence into the existing Source pop-up monitor.

Enable edit from bin (Splice,

Overwrite)

Allows you to edit clips directly from a bin by selecting a clip and clicking the

Splice-in or the Overwrite button.

Enable

SuperBin

Enables the SuperBin and its functions. See “Conserving Screen Real Estate

with the SuperBin” in the Help.
