Shooting
and capturing video directly to disk lets you record a two-hour event
as a single clip or shoot as many takes of a scene as you need to get
it right--no changing tapes, no solid-state memory time limits, no
missed action. It's a director's dream come true--but when you're

difficult. To make it easier, Adobe OnLocation CS4 offers a Shot List
that enables you to re-record multiple takes of the same scene
retaining the metadata automatically from the original master shot.
When you edit the footage in Adobe Premiere Pro, you can search for a
favorite take simply by searching for metadata logged while you
originally recorded the footage. Or, run the speech-to-text feature in
Adobe Premiere Pro, which uses new metadata support to find words
spoken by the talent.
