Bin in Project panel

Hello!
It would be very useful and necessary to have the possibility to create Bins in the audition Project panel. There are sessions with many files. Having the option to create bins as in Premiere or After Effects would be more ordered.
Thank you

Glad to see this feature is in a beta testing phase! Can't wait for implementation!

"Matt, sorry that's just not what people are requesting on this thread." I understand. I was trying to point out little known features that already exist is all. Trying to help while we work on implementing proper support.

Matt, as an example. If I'm cutting a project with several scenes, for example, I wish to organize the assets on a scene by scene basis.

Or perhaps if I'm designing sound for something and I want to organize the sounds by category. I should not have to constantly browse through my entire massive library to find certain types of sounds.

It's far more efficient to organize it in the software and session. It'd be like having no organization in Premiere for video projects.

My audition sessions can and do get massive with 100s of FX. It would be greatly beneficial to have an in-software organization system versus a Project panel with 100s of files dumped into it. It makes the Project panel almost useless.

I appreciate your suggested work around. This may satisfy some people, but I'm blown away that this has still not been added to Audition, considering the huge amount of interest.

Matt, sorry that's just not what people are requesting on this thread. The Media Browser simply does not provide for organisation of files imported in into an Audition project. As sound editors / mixers we want to be able to visually organize resources in ways which suit us - as is possible using bins in pretty much any video editing software, including Adobe's own Premiere Pro.

Hi Matt, that's great to know, thanks (about the shortcuts). But again, the difference here is visual organization.
And not only that, I was expecting the whole program set-up to mirror what I was already used to in Premiere.

"and not just all jumbled together into one single area"
Yup, you can have multiple shortcuts in the Media Browser also, they just point to folders on your hard drive.

File Management... who knew?

You have been "actively looking" since November 2018 and have not even responded recently. It is a pity the Audition Team does not know simple coding. This has been one of the most basic tenets of the computer since its inception.

Adobe already has this in every other product, must be a good idea right? Who are these people on the team, do they have no self respect?

"... adding a shortcut to an existing library of commonly used audio files. This is one of the workflows that the Media Browser was designed to facilitate."

Thanks for the tip! But my need is different. I'm importing new material (interviews, clean sound, narrations) with each production - just like I would do with video stories, too. There is a lot of different material, and it's so important to have it organized in the program - and not just all jumbled together into one single area. A simple folder system in the project browser would solve this! 🙂

"It's bananas that there's no way to organize a library of frequently-used audio files into a bin"

Can I make a suggestion?
For a commonly used library of audio file that get accessed on a regular basis across various sessions, you might want to try using the Media Browser, and adding a shortcut to an existing library of commonly used audio files. If you are adding a library to the files panel, the file will be added to the each Audition session causing session bloat. File can be previewed directly in the Media Browser with out having to import them to existing session.

Example: A library of Sound Effects stored on a network storage device, with 5000 files in it. It is much more efficient to add a shortcut in the media browser to the folder with the Sound Effects than to import 5000 sound effects into the Audition session and have them serialized on every save. You can then preview the files directly in the media browser before deciding on the clips you want to use and dragging them into the multitrack.

This is one of the workflows that the Media Browser was designed to facilitate.
