Clip Bin Overview

The Clip Bin holds all video, audio, and image clips imported into a project. You can add multiple instances of a clip onto the Timeline.

Clips in the Clip Bin are not affected by any editing on the Timeline. When you add a clip to the Timeline, you create a copy of the source clip. For example, if you split a clip on the Timeline, the split will not be reflected in the original clip in the Clip Bin.

A produced video only includes the clips on the Storyboard or Timeline. To add a clip to the video, drag the clip from the Clip Bin onto the Timeline or right-click on a clip and select Add to Timeline.

Change the Clip Bin View

By default, the Clip Bin displays the clips as Thumbnails sorted by Groups. You can change the Clip Bin view or sort the clips by different criteria to help organize the Clip Bin.

Thumbnail View: Displays an image of the clips.

Details View: Provides detailed information about the clips, such as file size, dimensions, and duration. To view the additional clip properties, right-click on a clip and select Properties from the context-menu.

Sort Media in the Clip Bin

By default, the Clip Bin organizes the clips into groups by media type. You can sort the clips in the Clip Bin by name, size, type, dimensions, or duration.

To change the sort criteria, select View > Clip Bin > Sort By.
