3.8. Why can't I make changes to my data after importing it directly from a portable HD or HD from another workstation

You need to make sure that the dataset has been adopted by Volocity rather than the data still being linked to a source file which remains outside the library, for example, on a portable HD. If the file has not been adopted then you will not be able to perform permanent changes which include creating an image sequence from the original file and cropping data.

To adopt the data in Volocity please follow the steps below;

-  Select the dataset thumbnail in the library window

-  Go to Actions menu and select Adopt items

-  Volocity will search for the source file/s and adopt the data so that it becomes part of the Volocity library.
