Working with Film Information in Bins
The topics in this section cover several bin procedures that are specific to working with film
material.
Film Scene Workflow
During the organizing phase, common practice on film productions is to organize the captured
clips according to scene. This helps to simplify the work environment and keeps crowded bins to
a minimum.
It is good practice to copy or duplicate clips as you reorganize them in bins. As a result, the
original source clips remain in the appropriate dailies bin if you ever need to recapture according
to source tape.
Organize scene bins according to the following basic workflow:
1. Create one bin for each scene.
