        <div><p>Adobe Story enables you to export scripts to your hard
disk in an XML format as an Adobe Story Script (ASTX) file. Adobe
Story automatically transforms information in scripts to relevant
metadata. On importing these scripts to Adobe&#160;OnLocation,
metadata related to these scripts are also imported. For example,
import an Adobe Story script to Adobe&#160;OnLocation.
The script information seen in the authoring view of Adobe Story
is transferred to Adobe OnLocation. The Project panel holds the
information like Scene Number, Scene Setting, Time of Day, Shot
Location, and so on. The Action column in the project panel holds
the entire script. Click the data in the Action column to view the entire
script. For more information about the interoperability between
Adobe Story, Adobe OnLocation, and Adobe Premiere Pro, see <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/lrvid5522_ol_en" target="_self">www.adobe.com/go/lrvid5522_ol_en</a>.</p>

<p>The
script is imported to Adobe OnLocation. The script is converted
into a set of scene-level placeholders. You can view the relevant
metadata of the script in the Project panel. Using the Break Out
Scene feature, you can break a scene into multiple shots. For more
information on Break Out Scene, see <a href="WS3F636579-161D-4610-A010-D0CE9E2C8A66.html">Add or duplicate shot placeholders</a>.</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Reimport edited scripts</h4><p>If you edit an
Adobe Story script and want to reimport it to Adobe OnLocation, do
the following:</p>
<ol><li><p>Select File &gt; Export As &gt; Adobe
Story Script (ASTX).</p>
</li>
<li><p>In the Export dialog box, click OK, and navigate to the location
on your computer where you had saved the earlier version of the
script. </p>
</li>
<li><p>Overwrite the existing script file with the edited version.</p>
</li>
<li><p>In Adobe OnLocation, Select File &gt; Import &gt; Adobe Story
Script.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Select the desired Adobe Story Script (ASTX) and click Open.</p>
<p>The
script is reimported to Adobe OnLocation. Adobe OnLocation updates
the project to add placeholders for the new scenes in the revised
version and updates the metadata of those that have been revised.
Placeholders for scenes that have been removed from the script are
not deleted from the project. </p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:  </span>Only placeholders created
by importing a script get updated; placeholders that you created
using Break Out Scene feature are not updated.</div>
