Chapter 1 Organizing Footage in the Browser 17
I
To create a bin by dragging a folder from your hard disk:
1 In the Finder, select the folder you want to be a bin.
2 Drag the folder from the Finder to the Browser.
As soon as you release the folder over the Browser, a bin with the same name as the
folder is created in your project.
Note: Dragging folders and files from the Finder to the Browser creates bin and clip
objects in your project file. However, unlike clips, which refer to media files on disk, bins
do not refer to actual folders on disk.
