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

Just stumbled on this... I agree!!! I am a longtime video editor using Adobe suite. I am now moving back to my audio roots producing podcasts. Folders please!

Copy and paste Effects incl setting from one place to the other, it being in the effectsrack or channelstrip. Copy and paste atribute would also be nice as in Premiere.
Watching a videotrack on a external monitor so adding support for Blackmagic shuttle etc as it is in Premiere
Converting two monotracks to one stereotrack in one click!! Essential for post if files come from OMF or AAF import.
Could you add "click in empty space to set playhead".
In segment effect, could the send be post fade in/out?
Control by external devices, better midi implementation to use a Yamaha O1V as controlsurface?
Just to name a few

I'll add my 2 cents. To me this is insane that some kind of file organization within Audition doesn't exist. This is beyond basic functionality for software such as this. I'm doing sound design for a friend's feature film and there are hundreds of files in there - and I haven't even begun adding effects. At this rate I'm going to look at throwing it into Resolve and see what it can do, as I don't have access to a ProTools license at the moment.

Another thing while I'm on the topic... Why can't I select MULTIPLE TRACKS and move them together? Another "wait...what???" moment. I can see how this kind of thing could be overlooked when Adobe first snagged Audition and crammed it into CC, but it's been YEARS now, and still, little project management processes that every other major (and minor, honestly) DAW can do are missing. Please, please, please fix stuff like this.

I want to add my voice to the call for folders/bins in Audition. I'm only starting to use Audition and already I have a mess or external folders I don't understand. I still teach beginning media students to use Premiere for much of the audio work they need. Please Adobe, listen.

This is pretty silly that Audition doesn't let you organize anything and you just have to make completely new files. Please update...

I just checked the Audition 2020 features, and nope, no bins or folders or any way to stay organized. Please add this somehow. I have done programming for games and I know how annoying feature requests can be without people knowing what's involved, but really this is a basic feature that's missing.

FYI to anyone using this for making a podcast, here are some tips to stay organized with the current version 2019.

Create a new project and name it something like, "Rough Cut - project name.sesx"
Quit. Move the main edit file to a separate project subfolder and call it MAIN EDITS where you will keep all of your edit versions (rough, medium, fine, final) along with the imported files.

Next to that MAIN EDITS folder you can make other separate folders organizing your content.
I have, "MUSIC," "SOUND EFFECTS", "INTERVIEWS," etc.

When you reopen the program, you can open the .sesx file and start adding your media. When you save, the program will ask you if you want to copy the media to a subfolder alongside your .sesx file. I would suggest you do that as a way of backing up your content. It's more bulky bit it's a good safety thing because once you start doing destructive edits, if you ***** up, you can always go back to your original file and re-import it.

Next step once you are done with your rough cut, quit the program, copy the .sesx file and rename it to "Medium Cut - name of project.sesx". All of the files in the Imported Files subfolder will still be attached to this new .sesx file, so you don't need to relink anything. Then you can start editing on this version without fear of screwing anything up, other than making destructive edits.

Repeat this last step when you're ready to make your FINE file and FINAL file. This way, if you go down a path when editing and you end up getting lost or screwing up the magic of your previous edit, you can just start over from the MEDIUM CUT or whatever previous cut you started this stage of editing with.

Obviously, you can change ROUGH, MEDIUM, FINE, FINAL to whatever you want such as version numbers, but if you are in a corporate environment like I am and need to communicate at what stage you are at easily with an exported MP3 for review, these names are easy to teach to non-pros.

Hope this helps someone. It's still not as good as being organized in the program itself, but at least this is an easy way to keep track of where things are. It's also a good idea to rename copies of your original files to keep track of what's what. I hate doing this, but the filenames generated by recorders are insane. Doing this before you start editing your rough cut will help once you have those tiny filenames all mixed together with music, effects and stuff all in one giant list.

Audition needs a folder/bin structure like Premiere Pro, it remains limited to simple projects and clean-up work, but I will not use it for serious Video Postproduction until it has a folder/bin structure. Ironically, I do my sound mixing in Premiere Pro instead of Audition because I'm not willing to give up the folder/bin structure.

Would love the addition of bins to Audition! It would make organization and file management much easier!
