Work with a custom or presets bin

Use custom bins to store your favorite effects, transitions, and presets in one place. You can create any number of custom and preset bins. As a result, you can also use the bins to reorganize the effects, transitions, and presets into categories that are intuitive to you or more appropriate for your project workflow.

You create and store custom and preset bins in the Effects panel. New preset bins reside inside the root Presets bin. Though you cannot drag them from the Presets bin, you can create and arrange them within that bin in any hierarchy you like. You can place custom bins at the top of the Effects panel hierarchy, or you can nest them within other custom bins.

Note: If you have placed the same item in several different custom bins, and you delete that item from one bin, Adobe Premiere Pro deletes each occurrence of the item from the custom and preset bins, and deletes each item from all clips that it affects.

In the Effects panel, do one of the following:
- To create a custom bin, click the New Custom Bin button , or choose New Custom Bin from the Effects panel menu.
- To create a presets bin, choose New Presets Bin from the Effects panel menu. Adobe Premiere Pro nests each new presets bin in the root Presets bin.
- To nest a new custom or presets bin, select the bin into which you want to place the new bin, and then create a custom or presets bin.
- To rename a bin, select the bin, then click the bin name, and then type a new name and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS). Skip steps 2 and 3.
- To delete a bin or an item in a bin, select the bin or bin item, and then click the Delete Custom Items button at the bottom of the Effects panel. Skip steps 2 and 3.
Locate the effect, transition, or preset that you want to store in the bin. You may need to resize the panel so that you can see both the item and the bin.
Drag the item to the bin. Adobe Premiere Pro creates a shortcut to the item.
