project, you can display selected media objects.

You can also display bins as tabs in a common bin window. For more information, see “Using

Sifting Clips and Sequences
When you sift clips and sequences, the bin displays only those clips and sequences that meet a
specific set of criteria. For example, you can do a custom sift to display only those clips
containing the word “close-up” in the heading column. The Custom Sift dialog box provides six
levels of criteria.
You can also sift on a timecode (or keycode) number within a specific range. For more
information, see “Sifting Timecodes or Keycode Ranges” on page 371.
