Adobe Prelude is an ingest and logging tool that helps ensure your media is tagged with the right information and is easy to find, allowing for more efficient post-production workflows and improved lifecycle management of your footage. Adobe Prelude is also made to work closely with Adobe Premiere Pro. It is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud and is geared towards professional video editing by yourself or with a group. The software also offers features like speech transcription and rough cut creation.

History
Adobe announced that on April 23rd, 2012 Adobe OnLocation would be shut down and Adobe Prelude would launch on May 7th, 2012. Adobe stated OnLocation's production was stopping because of the growing trend in the industry toward tapeless, native workflows, Adobe stresses that Adobe Prelude is not a direct replacement for OnLocation. Adobe OnLocation was available in CS5 but not in CS6 and Adobe Prelude is only available in CS6. Adobe still offers technical support for OnLocation.

Features
Prelude is used to tag media, log data, create and export metadata and generate rough cuts that can be sent to Adobe Premiere Pro. A user can add a tag to a piece of media that will show up on Premiere Pro or if another user opens that media with Prelude. Prelude can ingest all kinds of file types. Once ingested, Prelude can duplicate, transcode and verify the files.

Features From Adobe OnLocation
Many features from Adobe OnLocation went to Adobe Prelude or Adobe Premiere Pro. Adobe OnLocation thrived on tape - based cameras and setting up a shot before shooting it, with the change in the industry, this problem is irrelevant in post production. Adobe OnLocation also allowed the user to add tags and scripting metadata that would carry over to Premiere Pro. OnLocation also had a Media Browser pane, which is the standard for any Adobe program today, Prelude has this Media Browser as well.
