Bin Locking - Remote Avid Collaboration With Renderro

What's Bin locking?

Bin locking is a technology that has been a long-time friend for teams who use Avid in their daily work.

In a simple sense, it informs the editors which files are currently being edited by other collaborators and when their edition is completed.

This easy trick saves a lot of problems that might otherwise occur when multiple team members work on the same sequences, like over-writing the work of the other person.

Avid Bin Locking

Avid remote work was the first software for filmmaking artists that included this feature and is currently the best tool on the market in that specific case.

To get access to Bin Locking, you need to purchase a physical Avid shared storage product like Nexis or use another storage system with AvidFS (Avid File System) emulation.

The bins you are using in your projects can be accessed in two basic modes:

• Write - allows you to modify, write, read sequences as pleased.
• Read-Only - allows you to only view the sequences

The moment you start working on a sequence, it is opened with write access by checking out the bin. The bin's content is inaccessible for any of your collaborators until you are done with the and check it back.

The information about the state of the Bin is always displayed in the Media Composer to all users.
