Premiere Pro - Moving clips from one bin to another simply copies them!

Stick with whatever works or whatever... who cares ??

In Resolve 15 I've had weird stuff happen when moving clips from master bin to specialized bins ( smart bins, etc. ) ... where the master bin still has the same file named there. It's not a duplicate file. It's a duplicate FILE NAME. I don't go into the master bin after organizing stuff cause I already made my choices re: what clips to use ( now in their own little happy bins below master ). And I NEVER use thumbnail view of files.... ( clips ) as that would be ( for ME ) a total waste of space etc. I already KNOW what the thing is... and don't need a cartoon thumbnail to remind me.

The behavior you're describing is typically from dragging from one project to another project, not within a project.

The exception is a search bin, which is a "temporary" bin, and therefore only provides a copy of things to access quickly, that are actually stored elsewhere in the project.

First, you can always update to a new version and test it. Unlike Resolve, you can have multiple versions installed for completely different versions like 13.x and 14.x. And ... there will always be bugs, in every program, all the time. Test yourself, most users are not having any major issue if they're having any at all.

Are these bins in the same project, or do you have a separate project open? That would be the main suspect in copying not moving assets, is that you have two projects open.
