Really simple – determining total # of clips in a bin?
Running FCP 7.0.3 on 2.93 GHZ dual quad core Mac Pro, 10.6.5 OS. Hopefully really easy question – best way to determine total # of clips in an individual bin? Is there something equivalent to Avid’s “Get Bin Info”? Thanks, Nick.

I am sure there are many ways to do this, but one way is to create a new bin. Then in the bin that you want to figure how many clips you have, select all and then drag them to the new bin you just created. Don’t copy them, but just hover over the bin and you will see how many clips you are about to move. You have to be in List view for this to work.
Hope that helps.

Thanks. Did give me a total # – but ironically it’s one clip less than the # I thought it should be. Files were imported HDSLR Pro Res 422 LT transcodes from external drive – 312 of those confirmed at finder level, but FCP bin showing 311. So now I’m nervous. Nick.

Make sure you are not counting the .thm file at the finder level as one of your total.

Definitely not counting the .THMs. Nick.

When you grab multiple files in FCP’s Browser the number displayed will always be one less than the number of items you have selected (notice the plus sign next to the number). For what ever reason FCP reads it as something akin to “Bob and three of his friends are going to the movies” as opposed to “Four friends are going to the movies.” For example, you select 6 clips in the Browser, click and hold on clip ABC to initiate the drag and FCP interrupts it as “The user is grabbing clip ABC plus five other items”.

Had a feeling it was something like that. Thanks Andrew. Nick.
