I was told by Avid many years ago, (so I hope this is still true) - when you have a sequence in a bin you essentially also have every clip that makes up that sequence in the bin as well. You can see this if you turn on the options in bin views to see all items.
The way I was told to solve the 'bin too big to save (or open?)' was to move sequences to other bins, and save those instead.
It made for a messier workflow - but especially on long form projects, we would sometimes have only 1 sequence in a bin, and lots of bins.
Maybe this will help.
If, on the other hand you already only have one sequence in a bin - you might need to break your sequences in to pieces. You could make 20 minute reels for example.

All of the CPUs are Avid approved and all have approved graphics cards. On some (but not all) of our systems, we are seeing sequences that balloon up in size (over 2 GB) and we are then unable to open those bins. Our shows (mostly 1 hour docs) heavily use Magic Bullet Looks (v2.5.3) and BCC10. Here is the email my post supervisor sent me last night (with the subject line "A question for your fancy smart Avid guys"):Hey Steve-We're still experiencing very large bin sizes on some shows and I can't seem to get to the root of the cause. I can get a sequence bin size down to about a 1gig by stripping some compositing effects and anything that's kind of unnecessary. Without doing this, the bin size would be over 2 gigs and then we wouldn't be able to open this.I had Todd Lacey analyze a sequence from NEI and he came back with this.Ok…The problem is the MASSIVE amount of Magic Bullet effects.It looks like Magic Bullet is not the most optimized code in Media Composer.With how many MB effects there are and how it's code isn't optimized you have to approach the edit differently.The sequence I was working on is a very long, multi-layer composite, not a long form edit. Editors will need to break the sequence down into multiple smaller sections.You might try similar effects from a different company to see if it shrinks the size of the bins.Things you can do to the edit systems:1. Put 32GB+ of RAM in your edit systems. If they are not capable of 32GB+, get new systems.2. Put an very fast SSD in the edit system and copy the Avid Project to the SSD and work from the SSD. Put it back on TB when the edit is done. ***(ZERO collaboration)***This will help with opening and saving the Sequences/Bins. I would only do this when all else fails since there will be no more collaboration.We have complied with all of the suggestions above and we are still running into issues. Ian's been trying to figure this out and he thinks that it has something to do with BCC. Can you see if anyone else is having these kind of issues using BCC10?Thanks!I don't find the suggestions to be very practical, and they don't really address getting to the root of the problem.Has anyone here seen anything like this? If so, did you find a resolution? Any advice will be appreciated. Snarky comments also welcome.Thanks in advance,Steve Pomerantz
