Asset ingestion management

In the properties menu of the Assets window you have a couple of options that are useful.

FileWatcher

FileWatcher is a LightAct feature that monitors the asset repository. If enabled, the moment you copy an asset into the repository, it will be ingested into LightAct.

Good to know: if you want to have manual control over when to ingest assets you will want to disable that.

Get data

Get Data function reads the Asset and makes it ready to play.

LightAct needs to Get the Data of an Asset before it can play it.
