User Manual

TIP: When opening the Bins window on macOS, the window may open behind the
current Fusion Studio window. Check in the dock for the Bins window icon or move the
Fusion Studio window to locate the Bins window if you are working on a single monitor.
The sidebar organizes content into bins, or folders, using a hierarchical list view. These folders
can be organized however they suit your workflow, but standard folders are provided for Clips,
Compositions, Favorites, Projects, Reels, Settings, Templates, and Tools. The Tools category is
a duplicate of all the tools found in the Effects library. The Tools bin is a parent folder, and
parent folders contain subfolders that hold the content. For instance, Blurs is a subfolder of the
Tools parent folder. Parent folders can be identified by the disclosure arrow to the left of
their name.
When you select a folder from the sidebar, the contents of the folder are displayed in the
Contents panel as thumbnail icons.

Viewing and Sorting Bins
A contextual menu is used to access most of a bin’s features. You show the contextual menu by
right-clicking in an empty area in the Contents panel. Right-clicking on an item will show the
same menu with additional options for renaming, playing, or deleting the item.
Icon or List View
One use of the contextual menu is to switch between viewing the contents as thumbnail icons
or as a list.
To view a bin’s contents in List view:
1 Right-click in an empty area of the Contents panel.
2 From the contextual menu, choose View > Details.
Each bin in the sidebar can be set to List view or Icon view independently of each other. So
while you may have some bins you want to see as a list, others may be easier to view as icons.
