a project folder. Each project consists of a *.olproj file that
references recorded video in the Clips folder. Any still images you
grab from those clips appear in the Grabbed Stills folder.</p>
<p>You can store Adobe OnLocation projects on any local drive, internal
or external. For external drives, both FireWire® and
USB 2.0 are sufficient for Adobe OnLocation. For DVCPro HD®, Adobe strongly recommends that you use
a 7200-rpm drive and defragment it regularly.</p>
<p>Using the Link Media option, you can reconnect to media that
has been moved from its original location on the hard disk. To enable
Link Media, right-click a media clip in the Project panel, and select
Link Media.</p>
