About 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. Bins can contain source files, sequences, and other bins. You may want to use bins in the
following ways:
•
To store lists of offline files for batch capture.
•
To store each sequence and its source files separately.
•
To organize files by type, such as video, still images, and audio files.
