Re: Learn Media Composer Lesson 5: Bins PART TWO
by Gunnar Refardt

2 cool features are missing in your bin tutorial, kevin.

in frame view:

1. you can drag the multiple clips from the bin right into your timeline and they'll end there in the order you selected them (shift clicking then drag or arrange, lasso them and then drag into timeline)

2. while jkl playback in bin you can set in and out marks on the fly. unfortunately as soon as you stop playback the focus goes back to source or record monitor and I/O has no effect anymore.
