Organizing clips using bins
Clips in a project can be arranged in bins (with bins inside of bins, if you like), just as files are arranged in folders on your hard drive. Bins are particularly useful for organizing a complex project containing a large number of clips. You can also save a bin for use in other projects.
To manage clips using a bin:
Do any of the following:
To create a bin, Choose File > New > Bin or click the New Bin button () in the Project window. Type a name for the bin, and then click OK. To move a clip into a bin, drag the clip to the bin icon. If the bin window is open, drag the clip to the bin window. In the same way, you can store a bin inside another bin. To view the contents of a bin, select the bin in the Project window. To open a bin in its own window, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the bin, and choose Open Bin in New Window. To make a bin available for use in other projects, select the bin and choose Project > Export Bin from Project, or right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the bin and choose Export Bin from Project. Then, type a name, choose a location for the bin, and click Save. Bins created and saved in Windows use the extension .PLB.To use a saved bin file in any project, click File > Open, select the bin file (.PLB), and click Open.
