Hi,
We are running a podcast where every Monday we discuss different video clips.
The main issue is that every Monday we import every single clip (up to 30 ) ... We have a naming convention like this
V01 Description video 1.mp4
V02 Description video 2.mp4
V03 Description video 3.mp4
V04 Description video 4.mp4
...
After dragging and dropping them into VMIX, we edit about 30 video inputs in VMIX, adding them to layer 2 (on layer 1 is background)

they are all different lengths, sizes and etc...

Next week, we basically need to repeat the whole workflow.

Is there any automation, like a watch folder, where we can drag and drop files and Vmix reads the first three letters from the file name and adds them to the appropriate input?

Why not put the videos in a list to simplify what you are trying to achieve

I have just checked the list input...
I can not make triggers, and also my video files are in different resolutions, so I need to resize them.... Also i can not connect it latter to midi pad and call video no7 by it.

Save the finished show and close vMix.
In File Explorer, replace all the video files with the new ones, making sure the filenames remain exactly the same.
Then restart vMix.

I know that I can do that ... but every time we use different descriptions for files, this is an example from a couple of weeks ago

В01 Блокадери су нас оставили без нафтовода ништа нису изградили.mp4
В02 Бошко Обрадовић извиждан у родном Чачку.mp4
В03 ВЕСИЂЕВЕ Коцке.mp4
В04 ВУЧИЋ Ништа нисам крив нико није крив.mp4
В05 Грачаница прослава.mp4
В06 Дебил виче нешто Вучић ИГОР ПОСЛАО.mp4
В07 ЕРДОГАН мој друг.mp4
В08 ЕРДОГАН и аплаудирање на Калемегдану.mp4
В09 ЕРДОГАН и изјаваp.mp4
В10 ИГОР Министар Старовић док је био у СПО беседи.mp4
В11 Издајник Бокан Зомби.mp4
В12 Јеврејска Општина Земун поднијела кривичну пријаву против удружења Јадовно 1941. из Бање Луке..mp4
В13 КРИК Нови кривични Закон.mp4
В14 Угашене АПОТЕКЕ БЕОГРАД.mp4
В15 Напад на девојку на Косову и Метохију.mp4

As u can see, we need to parse first three letters somehow with Vmix .. ok i can make batch file for renaming all the files but i am trying to make it as much as possible with Vmix
