a new clip to the Project panel with properties such as Clip Name,
Date, and Duration.</p>

the Field Monitor, or press F2.</p>
<p>While recording, if you click
the Record button or press F2, Adobe OnLocation closes the current
clip and starts a new one. (If you’re recording HDV, the recorder
waits until the end of the current group of pictures before starting
a new clip.)</p>

to change the tape in the camera, deselect Remote Control Toggle.
Disabling this option ensures that Adobe OnLocation continues recording
when a tape runs out. </div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Timecode for recorded clips</h4><p>When you
control recording from a camera, the timecode on tape matches the timecode
in the Adobe OnLocation clip. When you control recording from Adobe OnLocation,
the timecode depends on whether the tape was rolling in the camera.
If the tape was rolling in the camera, the clip adopts the timecode
from the camera. If not, the timecode starts at 0:00:00.</p>
