Docs

Install it, find it, and capture your first section. Clip Bin is one action and a list, so this is short.

Install

  1. Open Creative Cloud and make sure you’re signed in.
  2. Double-click ClipBin.ccx from your licence email. Creative Cloud installs it.
  3. Restart Premiere.

Updates install from inside the panel in one click, and keep your licence key and settings.

Find the panel

Window › UXP Plugins › Clip Bin. It’s under UXP Plugins, not Extensions, which is where older panels live. Dock it wherever suits your layout.

Capture a section

Mark an in and an out in your timeline, then either:

  • press Copy in the panel, or
  • use Premiere’s own Make Subsequence (Shift+U by default, or whatever you’ve mapped it to).

Either way the section lands in your source monitor, ready to cut back in, and Clip Bin files it. Your keyboard shortcuts stay exactly as they are.

Only media on tracks that are switched on is captured. Whether a capture drops into your cut as clips or as one nested item depends on the Insert and overwrite sequences as nests toggle at the top left of your Timeline panel.

Where captures go

Into a dated folder inside a _Clipbin bin, which Clip Bin makes the first time you capture:

_Clipbin / 2026-10-06 / ACT 2_ROUGH_CUT 01_Sub_01

To use a bin of your own, click the destination line under the count. Each project remembers its own destination, and Restore default takes you back to _Clipbin.

The list

  • Click a row to load that capture to source.
  • Hover and click the pencil to rename it. The new name shows everywhere in Premiere.
  • Hover and click the cross to clear it. Cleared captures move to _Clipbin / cleared. Nothing is deleted.

Press Copy on marks you’ve already captured and Clip Bin loads the one you have instead of making a second. To step through captures from the keyboard, Premiere has Source Clip commands you can map: search source clip in Keyboard Shortcuts.

  • Show all captures / Show today’s captures only. All is the default.
  • File loose subsequences automatically. On by default. Turn it off and Make Subsequence works as if Clip Bin weren’t there.

What it doesn’t do

Clip Bin never deletes anything from your project, by design. Clearing moves a capture; it doesn’t destroy it.

Undo is Premiere’s. Cmd+Z undoes a capture in two steps: the filing, then the subsequence.

Pressing Make Subsequence twice on the same marks makes two captures. Only the Copy button checks for a duplicate.

Troubleshooting

It isn’t in the Window menu. Look under UXP Plugins, and restart Premiere after installing.

The panel won’t dock. Docking UXP panels needs Premiere 26.5 or newer.

A Make Subsequence capture stayed loose. Check File loose subsequences automatically is ticked in the panel menu.

Something else. Email support@simonmackenzie.tv with your Premiere version and the file ClipBinPlus_log.txt from your Desktop.
