Using the Bins Tab

When you create a project, your Avid editing application automatically creates a bin with the

name of the new project, which displays in the Bins tab. You can rename this bin and create

additional bins as you work in your project.

The word bin is a movie industry term that refers to a container that holds pieces of film. In your

Avid editing application, bins contain master clips that are created when you capture source

material. Bins also contain the sequences, subclips, group clips, and effect clips that you create

during a project. From the Project window, you can view a list of bins associated with the

project, and open, close, and create bins. You can also open bins that you create for

other projects.

Viewing a List of Bins

You can view a list of bins in the Project window. The Bins list displays the number, names,

sizes, and location of the bins. Bins from other projects appear in the Project window in italic.

To view a list of bins associated with the project:

t Click the Bins tab in the Project window.
