CHAPTER 3: BASIC EDITING ■
Bin Views
The bins are, of course, the places in which you store clips, sequences, effects, and so
forth. But different editors have different ways they would like to see this information
displayed. For example, you might want to see a thumbnail icon for each clip instead
of a line of information. Or you might want to see a brief line of information. A single
line of information with just the name of the clip usually takes up far less screen space
than icons. Some editors (myself included) tend to prefer that method of display. Still
others, especially assistant editors, need every bit of information necessary about all the
clips, which tends to take up a lot of space. Fortunately, with Free DV and Xpress Pro,
you have the ability to display your bins in any of these manners.
Brief View
The Brief bin view (shown in Figure 3.47) allows you more screen “real estate” than
the other views. With the Brief display, headings for clip name, start timecode, dura-
tion, tracks, and offline media are displayed. You can also resize the bin window so
that only the name of the clips appears. I do this frequently on projects with which I
am familiar with the material in each clip.

Text View
The Text view (shown in Figure 3.48) is similar to the Brief Bin view, except that more
criteria are added. Additional default headings in Text mode include Mark In, Mark
Out, In-Out, Video (resolution, such as DV-25), Audio (sampling rate such as 48 kHz),
Drive (the drive in which the media for the clip is located), Creation Date of the clip,
and the Tape ID name.
