LESSON 18 Exploring Adobe OnLocation CS5
Working with multiple cameras
With multiple-camera shoots, take the following steps to promote accurate 
automatching:
1
Synchronize the time and date of all cameras as closely as possible.
2
Assign a camera to all clips in the project in the Camera Label field.
3
When importing the clips, click the Limit Auto-Match to Single Camera check 
box, and import footage from each camera separately.
Importing OnLocation clips with the 
Adobe Premiere Pro Media Browser
With the CS5 release, there is also a more streamlined way to import files into 
Adobe Premiere Pro from Adobe OnLocation projects. Here’s the procedure:
1
In Adobe Premiere Pro, open the Media Browser, and navigate to the folder that 
contains the OnLocation project file.
2
Choose the correct format in the “View as” drop-down list. The Media Browser 
displays thumbnails of the clips and associated metadata.
3
To preview any clip, double-click it. The clip will load the clip in the Source 
Monitor. You can also view its metadata in the Metadata panel.
4
To import the clip or clips, drag them into the Project panel, or right-click and 
choose Import, and then import as normal. Adobe Premiere Pro imports the 
selected file(s) into the project.
