Setting a Logging Bin to Store Logged Clips
When you log clips, you need to specify a logging bin where the clips are stored in
your project. By default, the project itself is considered to be the logging bin, but you
can create a new bin or assign any bin in your project as the logging bin.
Logging Bin Controls in the Logging Tab
Use the Logging Bin controls to choose where logged clips are stored when you use
the Log Clip or Capture Clip buttons.
 Log Bin: This button contains the name of the bin in your project where logged clips
will be placed. There can be only one logging bin at a time, no matter how many
projects are open. When you click this button, the bin opens in its own window; if
the bin is already open, it brings that window to the front.
 Up: Click to move the logging bin up a level from the currently selected one. For
example, you could switch from a bin to the bin that contains it. If the current
logging bin is at the highest level, clicking this button assigns the project itself as the
logging bin.
 New Bin: Click this to create a new bin inside of the currently selected bin, and set it
as the logging bin.
Creating and Setting a Logging Bin
You can create and set the logging bin in the Logging tab of the Log and Capture
window or in the Browser. A slate icon appears next to the bin in the Browser to
indicate that it is the current logging bin.
To create and set a new logging bin in the Log and Capture window:
m In the Logging tab, click the New Bin button.
