Bin size and location

[coozy17]

Before updating to CC 2018 I could double click a bin and it would open in a new window with the convenient manageable size.

Now when I open one it's laid over my timeline so it has to be moved and resized every time

Is there a way to set a default bin size and location when they're opened?

Hi coozy17,

Sorry for the issue. It seems like an issue with workspace. Please change the workspace & check.

If issue persists, if possible, reset preferences & test. FAQ: How to reset preferences in Premiere Pro?

Thanks,

Vidya.

This did not fix the issue. I noticed one a bin is open, placed and sized to my liking all subsequent bins open the same way but if there are no bins open that’s when I have the issue.

Thanks for the reply Pat. Have you reset the Preferences?

Please try the following steps:

1. Go to the following location in the machine

     In Mac, Documents > Adobe > Premiere Pro > 12.0

2. Rename the 12.0 folder to Old_12.0

3. Launch Premiere Pro, Create a new project(do not open Old projects)

4. In Menu bar, Window > Workspace > Uncheck Import Workspace from Projects.

5. Open the old project & check the issue.

Let us know the status.

Thanks,

Vidya.

That didn’t fix the problem either. Would it be possible for you or somebody else to call me when our phone lines open at 9am EST? Our number is 352-292-4116, ask for Pat.

I’m still having trouble with floating bins. Is it possible to get a call or even a screen share so I can demonstrate exactly what’s going on?

I am also having problems with this.  I work on 3 monitors and my bins used to open on a specific monitor and now they open in the "Project" bin.  I can't figure out how to set newly opened bins to permanently floating

[memeheyitsme]

Did anybody find a solution to this?

That behavior is controlled in your Preferences settings ... like many other things.

Edit/Preferences/General.

You can set whether they open in 'place', in a new tab, or a new window, and have all three available with different modifiers.

Thank you!  I appreciate your time to explain this.  I never knew I had that set previously.

And the 'default' behavior may have changed between versions ... sometimes, the defaults of the Preferences file do change.
