LESSON 18 Exploring Adobe OnLocation CS5
6
Click the Record button near the bottom of the Monitor panel. Notice the video 
is being recorded into the “Establishing shot” placeholder clip. Click the Stop 
button when you are done recording.
7
Repeat this recording for the wide-shot and close-up placeholder clips.
Retakes
It is common to encounter problems when shooting a scene, so it is often necessary 
to record multiple takes of the same shot. If a second or third take is required when 
recording to a shot list, click the Add Shot Placeholder icon while the main shot is 
selected, and Adobe OnLocation will create a new take for the same shot.
Analyzing video with Adobe OnLocation
Earlier in this lesson, you calibrated your camera to ensure that focus, exposure, 
and white balance are correct. This is an important step, and the Camera Setup 
Assistant is a very helpful tool in accomplishing that. But changing conditions 
in the scene can alter color or exposure, so it’s important to monitor your shoot 
continuously. Adobe OnLocation provides a powerful set of tools to help you 
monitor video.
1
Open a new Adobe OnLocation project by choosing File > Open Project.
2
Navigate to the Lesson 18 folder, and open the project called Lesson 18.olproj.
Notice that three clips were captured in this project. These clips have some 
metadata in the Comments fields to help the editor choose the best clips. These 
clips are of the same scene but recorded with different exposure and audio 
settings on the camera.
