  • How can I find them?

    Here again trying to solve existential doubts.

    The thing is, in big projects, with a lot of bins, and bins from other porjects too, sometimes is difficult, for me is impossible, to keep everything in order. So sometimes I edit a tittle and I forget to set the correct bin to save it.
    Then when I want to, for example delete previous version of a tittle media, I can’t find those who are out of the correct bin.

    Or may be if I have a Matte Key in the timeline and I want to know to wich bin it belongs, I can’t match it, if I press Ctrl+I the name of the bin doesn’t appear, neither in the info window of the source monitor, neither the find in bin if I put those clips in the clpboard monitor.

    The question is:
    How can I find them?

    Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks…
    Merry Christmas.

    For normal media, you have the ‘find bin’ command.
    This does not work for titles, but normally i forget about them in a bin. Only titles in a sequence are important, and you can copy / paste them, and alter them from the timeline.
    So, let them hide where they want, just do not care about them.

    If you need to clean up your media drives, use the media tool.

    Why don’t you just make sure the project bin is active & hit CTRL+S. It will save everything regardless whether a particular bin is active or not.

    organization is your freind.
    When you start a new project, create a bin your your sequences, one for grafix, one for audio, one for b-roll, ect.
    Mixing all your elements in one bin will get messy fast.
