Afx 2017 on windows 10 is locking footage items on a hard drive making it impossible to change them by other programs.
on windows 7 Afx 2014 don't exhibit this behavior. Not sure if this is something to do with version of windows or AFx but definitely need a solution.
This ability is essential for any video or CGI pipeline. Files do need to be changed by other programs without closing Afx or creating new version of the footageas such workaround would slow work tremendously.
