Registering Assets in the Data Editor
Assets can be registered in the Data Editor with the New Data command, the New Multi-File
Data command, or by simply dragging from Windows Explorer to an asset folder. When
registering assets, they are not moved from their original hard drive location, nor are they
copied; assets in Scenarist are merely pointers to the original media.
