Are there ANY plans to add folders/bins to Audition?

Like Steve, I've talked with engineers about this at NAB and MAX. The direct answer is always that there's bins in Premiere if you need them. And realistically, Au is an addendum for working with Premiere as far as the "product development" is seen within Adobe.

So that Au does work for audio outside the purview of video post processing is nice, but ... it ain't any major consideration for development purposes.

Remember, this is the Adobe DVA apps group ... digital video/audio, DVA ...

And yea, there's times that's a pain. Like for getting actual bins for Au, and for getting midi stuff in. Neither of which is ... likely. I'd like both personally but hey, I want SpeedGrade back also ... and I'll live to be 246 before that happens ... ha.

Adobe generally only admit to anything when they're ready to launch it. They've always been like that. Like most audio users, personally I'm not that bothered - there's no tradition of using 'bins' in audio - it was always a film thing. As long as you're a bit organised, you can use the Media Browser to achieve much of the same functionality and the developers know this - which may also have something to do with it.

What's more likely is that in order to work properly as an integrated component, especially with Premiere, a lot of work has to be done that isn't perhaps blindingly obvious. Another argument along similar lines is that when it comes to video enhancement, then having a smooth round trip to Audition is what counts, and that this effectively makes bins in Audition redundant.

I honestly don't know which argument it is, and I have no more idea about this than anybody else does - except the developers. The one thing I can be sure of though is that if the corporate users want it, then it will happen; they're the ones paying for it after all - not the individual users.
