Selecting a Target Bin
You select a target bin as the destination for the master clips that you create when you

In an Avid Interplay environment, the Capture tool includes an option to capture to a local
bin or a remote folder.

t If you are capturing to a local bin, select Local Bins.
t If you are capturing to a remote project folder in an Avid Interplay environment,

appear in the Bin menu. For information on opening a bin, see “Opening and Closing

Interplay folders are available only in Avid workgroups configurations. If the Interplay
folder you want to use is not open, click the folder name in the Interplay Window.
