9.6. Bin Rules
9.6.1. What is a Bin Rule
A bin rule is a set of criteria that automatically makes a reference to clips, playlists, or
timelines to a certain bin when they are created.
A bin rule is defined for a certain bin. It can be defined for clips, playlists and/or timelines.
Bin rules automatically apply to all new elements upon creation. They can also be applied
to previously created elements, if so desired.
Bin rules do not remove clips from the bin if they no longer meet the bin rule. The process
is only for placing clips into the bin.
9.6.2. How to Define a New Bin Rule
With a basic bin rule, you can select a target or a nearline destination to send new clips or
playlists to or you can request new clips to be automatically protected.
To define a new bin rule, proceed as follows:
1. Right-click the bin for which you want to define a bin rule.
The Bin contextual menu is displayed.
2. Select Bin Rules > Create Bin Rules.
The Bin Rules window opens. See section "Bin Rules Window" on page 74 for a
detailed description of the window.
3. Select the tab corresponding to the items you want the bin rule apply to (Clips /
Playlist).
4. You can
◦ Define a post process by selecting the target/nearline destination where you want
to automatically send new items.
So, when creating a clip or playlist, if you request to send the new item to the bin
for which the post process has been defined, it will automatically be sent to the
target selected in the Bin Rules window.
◦ Select the Protect Clip when inserted in bin option.
So, new clips sent to the corresponding bin will automatically be protected. This
option is not available for playlists.
5. Select the range of dates between which the bin rule must be applied in the Validity
from and Validity until fields.
The selected post-process will automatically be applied to clips or playlists that will be
copied to this bin.
