What is a bin in video editing?

In video editing, a bin is a folder or container that helps editors organize and store media assets like clips, audio files, graphics, and images. 

For example, you might have separate bins for raw footage, sound effects, music, and images in a single editing project. Most video editing software, like Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro, includes a bin system.
