Work with bins

These are the default behaviors of bins in the Project panel. You can change the last three bin default behaviors by
editing bin preferences.

To learn more about working with bins, see the video tutorial, Enhanced Bins In Premiere Pro CS3, on the

Creative

COW website

.

To add a bin, click the New Bin button

at the bottom of the Project panel.

To delete one or more bins, select the bins and click the Delete icon

at the bottom of the Project panel.

If you click New Bin multiple times in a row, each new bin is nested inside the previous new bin.

To move an item into a bin, drag the item to the Bin icon. You can move bins into other bins to nest them. Dropping
an item into a bin does not automatically open the bin.

To display the contents of a bin, in List view, click the triangle beside the Bin icon to expand it, or double-click the bin.

To show the contents of an enclosing (parent) bin when you’re viewing only the contents of a nested bin, click the
Parent Bin button

in the Project panel. You can continue to click this button until the top-level contents of the

Project panel appear.

To open a bin in its own floating panel, double-click the bin. This panel can be docked or grouped like any other
panel.

To open a bin in place, Ctrl-double-click (Windows) or Command-double-click (Mac OS) the bin.

To open a bin in a new tab, Alt-double-click (Windows) or Option-double-click (Mac OS) the bin.

Double-click to open a bin in its own dockable panel.
