About bins

The Project panel can include bins, which you can use to organize project contents in much the same way as folders in
Windows® Explorer or Mac OS® Finder. Bins can contain source files, sequences, and other bins. You may want to use
bins in the following ways:

To store lists of offline files for batch capture.

To store each sequence and its source files separately.

To organize files by type, such as video, still images, and audio files.
