ABSTRACT
Most editing projects start off relatively simply. Luckily, or not so luckily, editing software allows us to organise our project in any way we like. Crucial to project management is bin management. It is good practice to use different bins to group different aspects of the project together. Bins, or folders, or collections, or whatever our software chooses to call them, can hold references to everything from clips and title graphics to sequences. It is good practice to use different bins to group different aspects of the project together. In most post-production houses, projects are open to everybody to allow new material to be ingested and logged in. When new material has been captured or ingested for us, it is worth spending a short time sorting and renaming the new clips in the style that we prefer, and thereby matching the rest of our project's cataloguing system.
