Unit (How to label clips and create bins effectively)

How to label clips and create bins effectively

1. First step is to open up Final Cut Pro software 






2.I create a scratch disk 


3.Then I had to import my files onto your timeline



4.Now we are going to start labeling different clips as i go alone to see which ones I will be using,  I needed to 

extend the browser a bit a so I can see many different columns allowing me to do many different things with each 

clips by doing this it will help me remember what clip are good so that if you need to re edit you can go back to the 

good clip.


5.To re name a clip i had to simply right click on a clip that I wanted to re name then typed in what I wanted to call 

each clip 





6. Now I am going to create bins this is another way of saying make a new folder by using Final Cut Pro. So t0 create a bin I had to click on the browser then right click and select 'new bin'.

7. Once I have made a new bin, it will appear saying bin 1, I then had to right click on it, then clicked on re name as you can see I have made 3  different bins and renamed them into Images, Videos and Sounds so all my work can be organized and easy for me to find.





8.Now I have to move each files into the right category for example I needed to put all of the images into the images folder, also do the same for videos and sounds once I have done this I should only see 3 folder in my browser. Highlight all of the images and then simply drag and drop them into the right folder and they appear when I double click on each folders.





9. I clicked onto one of the folders as you can see all of my images have been placed into the images folder. I repeated this system with the sound and video.

10.Once everything is organized into the right bins it should look like this and it makes it more clearer and easy to work with, and its not all over the place as before.


This is how you label clips and add bins (folders)
