Selecting Unreferenced Items in a Bin

When you select unreferenced clips, your Avid editing application highlights all clips not

currently referenced by clips or sequences that are in the open bins. Any master clips, subclips,

or effect clips you edited into sequences in the bins do not highlight.

The Select Unreferenced Clips option is useful for finding unused media.

To identify unreferenced clips:

1. Open the bin containing the sequence or clip that is referenced.

2. Open all other bins containing clips that were used during editing.

3. Select Bin > Select Unreferenced Clips.

A message informs you that unreferenced clips highlight in open bins only (items in closed

bins do not display).

4. Click OK.

All unreferenced clips highlight in the open bins.

Working with Bin Columns

The topics in this section describe how to work with the columns of information that appear in

the bin when you are in Text view.

For more information on Text view, see “Using Text View” on page 298. For information on

modifying the information that appears in bin columns, see “Modifying Clip Information” on

page 324.

Moving, Aligning, and Deleting Bin Columns

You can move, align, and delete columns in a bin.

When you align bin columns, the system maintains the same order of columns from left to right

but spaces them according to the length of their contents. This is useful to remove spaces which

remain after you move or rearrange columns.

When you delete a statistical column it is the same as hiding the column; you can restore the

column at any time by using the Bin Column Selection option. When you delete a custom

column, however, you must re-create the column.

For information to display and hide column headings in the bin, see “Using Text View” on

page 298.
