PROJECT: allows you to quickly add, organise and browse files connected to your project. This is the default tab.

Notice that the Project Panel lists the name that you gave the project when you saved it.

There is also a Search bar to quickly search for files and an Icon to make a Search Bin (see below)

Right-click in the Project Panel to create:

New Bin
A folder in which you can keep media files. Creating different bins for different scenes or interviews is a good way to start organising your project.

New Search Bin
In Search Bins you can set up metadata searching keywords, so that when you search for items in the Project Panel, you can associate a Search Bin with your search query. The search results stay up to date with items that meet the search criteria.

New Item:

1) Sequence

2) Title

3) Bars and Tone

4) Black Video

5) Universal Counting Leader

...and more
