You can use the API to add an input. There are a lot of references out there for doing so.

Hello. You can do this with a script if you have 4k/pro/max version that support script personally im using this script. it searches for the last video .mp4 in my documents\videos and insert it as input video in vmix Code:
Dim szExt As String = ".mp4"
Dim szFolder As String = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) & "\Videos"
Dim szLatestFile As String = ""
Dim dLatestFile As Date = Nothing
For Each szFile As String In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(szFolder)
Dim fi As New System.IO.FileInfo(szFile)
If fi.Extension = szExt Then
If fi.LastWriteTime > dLatestFile Then
szLatestFile = szFile
dLatestFile = fi.LastWriteTime
End If
End If
Next
If System.IO.File.Exists(szLatestFile) Then
API.Function("AddInput", Value:="Video|" & szLatestFile)
End if

The scripting for dummies forum topic is a good source for all kind of issues.
