Importing Bins
I work on a number of programs that are series- same format week after week. There are a lot of graphics, audio files, opening sequences, commercials, etc that I have neatly assembled into bins in a separate project, which I import as needed into those programs. Is there a way to import more than one bin at a time? I currently do it this way- open bin>locate desired bin>import. It only lets me do one at a time. Not a big deal- I just repeat this a few times and I am on my way. However, a keystroke saved here and a keystroke there…….

Create your new project, then (In Windows), open the folder where your projects are kept, and just copy the bins from one project to another.
Back in Avid – if the bins show in the bin menu, you can open the bin as normal, if the bins doe not show in the bin menu then you just need to open them from – FILE – OPEN BIN – they should show up then with the rest of the bins in the new project.
Alternatively, set up a storage space where you have a copy of the bins, create a new bin in the the new project, then – FILE – OPEN BIN from the storage space, and copy the contents (Alt + Drag) into the new bin.
Another Alternative: – there was a discussion in the Avid forum a while ago

I had not thought of folder to folder copying. Cool beans. Thanks.
Looking into the template software as well….
