ClipBins and Projects

ClipBins can be used to collect your clips so that you can easily view or download your files. You can invite others to view the contents of your ClipBins. It is also possible to email your ClipBins and the recipient will not have to register on the site to view them.

To re-arrange your ClipBins, please select the re-order icon on each ClipBin and simply drag and drop it into position.

What is a Project?

Projects can be used to create and save your work. You can set up multiple ClipBins in a Project, so that you can easily view your saved searches or clips.

It is possible to email your Project and the recipient will not have to register on the site to view them. To re-arrange your Projects, please select the re-order icon on each Project and simply drag and drop it into position.

Using ClipBins and Projects

The Projects and ClipBins index section displays all of your ClipBins and Projects in one place and enables you to administer them as a group.

To add clips to a ClipBin, first create a ClipBin in "My ClipBins and Projects" or select your existing ClipBin from the active ClipBin drop down menu at the top of the page. ClipBin titles are limited to 50 characters. To add a clip, carry out your search and click "Add to ClipBin".

You can move clips from one ClipBin to another ClipBin. This removes them entirely from one ClipBin and places them in a separate ClipBin. Clips can be re-ordered by dragging and dropping in the ClipBin page and you can also add notes for your clips in the ClipBin. Clips can be deleted from the ClipBin by checking the tick box and clicking delete clip. All these actions are noted in the ClipBin history page, accessible from the left hand navigation bar.

You can re-order entire ClipBins by dragging and dropping them on the ClipBin index page and multiple ClipBins can be administered at once. Projects cannot be re-ordered.

Individual clips or whole ClipBins can be placed in the shopping basket.

You can share your ClipBins with other users which enables them to add, delete and buy clips as well as view notes. You can also email a read only version of the ClipBin.

Adding / Removing ClipBin Members

You can add or remove users, known as "Members", to your ClipBins through the "My ClipBins and Projects" area.

Adding Notes

You can add Notes to Clips in your ClipBin. Your ClipBin members will be able to read these notes and add some of their own.

To do this, go into one of your ClipBins and ensure the clip you want to add a note to is displayed on the right hand side (where a preview is available it will be displayed on the right hand side in the video player window). Next, click on "Add Notes", type your notes into the area provided and click "Save" and Exit when you have finished.

Sending Messages

You can send messages to your Project Members through the Project management area of the site.
