THE F O C A L E A S Y GUID E TO FINAL C UT PRO 7 Setting a Logging Bin It can be advantageous to specify a bin where material will be placed into directly on capture. This works for Capture Clip, Capture Now and Batch Capture. Working with bins is dealt with in the next chapter. For now it is sufficient to say that bins in Final Cut Pro are the equivalent of folders as used throughout the Mac operating system. Bins provide a place to file things away. Capturing into a Logging Bin is particularly important when working with Batch Capture as there are times when Final Cut Pro will try to capture items in the Browser, including material that has already been captured. This could be due to the user failing to number reels correctly or trying to capture clips with matching timecode to clips that have already been captured. To create a Logging Bin: 1 2 Click in the Browser to make it active. Select the File menu and scroll to New Bin. You will see the bin appear in the Browser window. 3 Name the bin by clicking and overtyping. 52
