If you have an operating system file browser window open, you can drag files directly into a bin as well. When adding an item to the bins, the files are not copied. A link is created between the content and the bins, but the files remain in their original location.
File Type Details
Some types of content have additional methods of being added to bins. Some additional methods are because of the file type and some are because of where they are located.
Projects and Media
In addition to using the New… contextual menu as explained earlier, Fusion Studio project files with the extension “.comp” and media can also be added to bins by dragging them to the Contents panel from a file browser.
Tool Settings
If you want to add a node with custom settings to a bin, first save the node as a setting by right- clicking over it in the Node Editor and choosing Settings > Save As. Once the setting is saved, you can add it to a bin by dragging it from a File Browser into the Bins window.
Image Sequences and Stills
Image sequences are automatically identified on disk and loaded as clips rather than stills, so it is not necessary to select more than one frame from an image sequence when dragging it into a bin.
To ignore the image sequence and import only a single frame, hold Shift when you drag the frame into a bin. This can be useful when trying to import a single still image from a series of still shots with a DSLR. The numbers maybe sequential, but you just need one still image from the series.
