Working with 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.
As your project grows, you can make new bins to contain those items. While it is not absolutely necessary to create and use bins (especially with
short-form projects), most editors find them indispensable for staying organized.
You may want to use bins in the following ways:
To store offline clips for batch capture.
To store main sequences and backup sequences.
To organize files by type, such as video, still images, and audio files.
A. Bin in a bin B. List view C. Icon view D. Zoom slider E. Automate to sequence F. Find G. New bin H. New item I. Clear
These are the default behaviors of bins in the Project panel. You can change the last three bin default behaviors by editing bin behavior in general
preferences.
To learn more about working with bins, see the video tutorial, Enhanced Bins In Premiere Pro CS3, on the
