Saving Bins
Your Avid editing application automatically saves changes to your work on a regular basis. You
can modify the frequency of the automatic backups.
You can also manually save a specific bin, selected bins, or all bins. You might want to do this
immediately after performing an important edit.
When you work with bins, an asterisk appears before the bin name in the bin’s title bar. The
asterisk indicates that the changes to the bin have not been saved. After you save the bin, your
Avid editing application removes the asterisk.
When an autosave occurs, any open bins update with changes made since the last autosave, and
copies of these bins are placed in the project’s backup bin folder:
Your Avid editing application automatically saves copies of all bins into the Avid Attic folder at
regular intervals for backup. When your work is lost, or when you want to recover an earlier
version of a bin or sequence, you can retrieve files from the Avid Attic folder.
To adjust the frequency of automatic saves:
1. In the Project window, click the Settings tab, and then double-click Bin.
The Bin Settings dialog box opens.
2. Type a number in the Auto-Save interval text box.
3. Click OK.

Setting to zero the maximum number of files stored in the Avid Attic folder as well as the
maximum number of versions of a bin deletes existing files in the project folder in the Avid Attic
folder and prevents any backup bins from being saved. For more information about backup
options, see “Bin Settings” on page 1360.
