Project panel: bins should open in new tab (Beta)

The new Project panel workflow is pretty frustrating. I can’t keep multiple bins open anymore, which makes it hard to browse my footage with previews.

I used to stack Project panels and have some bins in Icon/Preview view and others in List view. Now bins replace each other, so I lose visual context.

Switching between folders is also slower and less intuitive, since I have to use the back arrow instead of just clicking between bins.

I’d really like to:

  • Keep multiple bins open at the same time

  • Mix Preview and List views per bin

  • Quickly switch between folders

This would make the Project panel way more usable for everyday editing.

I can have multiple bins open at the same time, i can mix List View and Icon View, i can quickly switch between open Bins.

 

  • To open a Bin in a separate window/panel: Alt+double click on the bin you want to open.
  • I just set either List View or Icon View.
  • To quickly switch: Use the keyboard shortcut Shift+1

Thanks for the reply!
Just to clarify: I’m talking specifically about Premiere Pro (Beta).

In the current Beta Project panel, bins open using a navigation-style workflow where one bin replaces another. Because of this, I can’t keep multiple bins expanded or stacked in the same way as in the stable release.

Shortcuts like Alt + double click to open bins in separate panels and quickly switching between bins don’t behave the same way in the Beta, which is why this is an issue for me.
