Using the Bin
The Bin is a list of links to media files in your project directory.
The project directory is defined in the Preferences>General
screen where you choose a Capture Path and Import Path
(see
).
You can begin a new project by selecting New Bin under the
File Menu
Adding to the Bin:
To add a Clips and DPX folders to your project bin, you can:
• Use the Import Files to Bin command
• Click the plus (+) at the bottom of the Bin, then browse and select a file
• Drag media from the Finder/Explorer to the bin
To open an existing Bin that you have saved, go to the File Menu and select Open Bin,
then browse and select the Bin (bin files are appended .crbin)
You may also use the Capture Tab to create a new clip and a file that is added to the Bin
and your directory. This automatic bin addition feature is enabled (the default setting) or
disabled via a checkbox in Preferences>General.
To remove a file from the Bin, click the trash can icon.
NOTE:
This does NOT delete the file from your directory but removes the link from the Bin.
