How to make a 'smart bin' in Redcine-X project window?

[Erwin van Dijck]

Question (couldn't find an answer in the manual):

When creating a project in Redcine-X I drag clips to the project window. I usually give clips a star rating (none to 5). Then I want to make a bin with all the starred clips automatically collected. Like "everything with 3 stars or higher". How to do this in Redcine-X?

So the question is: how to make a 'smart bin' that contains clips based on a certain parameter like 'rating'?

you could import the clips into your NLE, select the clips you want, then export XML into Redcine and do first pass colour.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I use FCP-X and so importing R3D doesn't work yet (R3D support is on the horizon). So I do both my first pass and selecting (based on rating and I shorten clips with I/O) in Redcine-X - works great.

Looking for a convenient way to select export all clips with 3 or more stars that are scattered around the multiple bins.

Actually you can right click on any clip in the project and select a rating. You can then use the Sort By... button and select RATING. It's not perfect but at least the rated clips are sequential.

Hi Erwin,

We don't currently have a feature like this. You can however sort an existing bin by Rating and then copy those to a new bin, which you can then export.

Ok, thanks. Will try that.
Still, would be cool to have features like that, a bit like how you can manage your pictures in Aperture.
