CREATE A NEW BIN: Creates a new bin, and that new bin can have one of three
different names. You select the name you want with the
buttons shown below this option:
Default Bin Naming Convention will create a bin with the name
of your project and a bin number appended to it, such as “My
Project Bin1”. This is the default way your editing system names
all new bins.
Volume Name will create a bin with the name of the Drive the
clips come from, such as “Media D” if Media is the name of your
drive D.
Specify Bin Name allows you to enter a specific name for your
bin ahead of time. If you then AMA link clips several times, the
new material always goes into this bin. If the Bin is closed, it
will be opened and filled with the new clips.
Note the important difference between linking to a FILE and linking to a VOLUME.
Linking to a FILE puts your QuickTime into the currently selected Bin (or will ask you
which bin if none is selected). Linking to a VOLUME will place the linked clips into a bin
as selected with the AMA Settings.
This difference can be useful. If you wanted several copies of AMA clips in different bins
you would need to use LINK TO AMA FILES, even if you wanted the entire folder full
of clips, to get second copies of the clips in the new bin of your choice.
Reviewing and Setting Movie Attributes
With so many different parameters associated with each QuickTime movie you import,
you may want to know how to look at your movie attributes. This will allow you to see
how the Avid Editing system has interpreted your movie, and in some cases you can also
change some of those attributes directly in the bin.
For example, if the aspect ratio of the movie does not match the project, how do you
want the movie to be treated? Should the movie be played as a Progressive or an
interlaced source?
