Let’s start off by going to the Desktop, clicking on Chapter One and Launching Chapter One. So one of the greatest things about Premiere is we’ve got some new features that are going to give you a better, quicker, faster workflow and one of those is the Flex Bin feature that we’re going to start with right here.
So I want you to double click on Flex Bins, and you’re going to see right now, nothing in the time lines but I’m giving you a little title here that has to do with ways that you operate inside these Flex Bins or folders. So what I want you to do actually is to go right down here and start by double clicking to open this folder. And this is a new feature so if you double click, now you have a floating window, so this is brand new, so the benefit here obviously if you have multiple monitors, certainly you can populate your other monitors with three, four, or five of these and have access to your bins at all times. And if I was to go here as an example, and hit that again, now I have two bins, and I can resize these, have them floating around, easy access to them. I can grab one of these using our interface and put it inside the other one by just dragging on top and you know, using the new interface that we have. Each one of these will give you at the bottom, at the left, at the right, on top, and this creates a tab in the back, so now I have another window with two tabs in the back and if I wanted those to be a tab in the back of this window, then I can grab this and again at least of the same feature and there that one is there and again, one more time, and there that one is. So Flex Bins are very, very powerful and I’m going to turn this off because I want to show you another feature.
Ok, so back to Flex Bins again, if you Control (Ctrl) double click, as you see in the little area over here, Control (Ctrl) double click gives you something different. And that would be control on the Windows and command on the Mac, and since we’re in the Mac right now, double click and it is inside the same window, sort of the same feature that we had last time but it’s something that people use so it’s nice to know that. And up here in this little guy right here, is the Parent button which allows you to go back to the base bin that contains all of your features, right? There it is right there.
Now, Alt double click open a new bin in a tab, so let’s try that one. So let’s hold the Alt or Option key on the Mac, hold on to PC, double click, and now we have a bin so we’ve got the original one, and if we use this handy little tab up here, right there, that little bar, we can move to the right exposing the other one or we could be really smart and actually drag this over using this interface and click there so now we have bins in tabs. How cool is that right? I’m kind of liking that feature.
So about the bins, they’re pretty much the same as in the previous version. New bin from here, find features, view from here, your thumbnails – small, large, refresh if you made some change and again, editing columns allows you to go in there and decide what columns you want on or off. And this has to do with each bin by the way so if you have multiple bins out, and you only want to have a couple of these features turned on then that will be just appropriate for those particular bins that you have open. And that is the new Flex Bin feature.
So before I close out, I’d like to talk about one more feature about the bins and Flex Bins. And that is in the Preferences and now on the Mac, the course is going to be under the Premiere Pro icon, in windows, it’s going to be Edit Preferences, so we’re going to go to general on both and you’re going to see that there are, right down in this area, and you’ll see it on both Mac and PC under bins that you can actually change these default things from double clicks to whatever you want to do. Right open in place, so if you’d rather switch this around to suit yourself, absolutely, positively you can do that.
