Resolume Forum

Dear VJ/Reso people
is it possible to do anything similar to premiere WATCH FOLDERS? meaning: say I have a folder full of movies and this folder would synced with a LAYER and automagically update tne CLIPS matching the FOLDER contents... if I would update the folder contents those clips would magically appear on my composition....

If you can build something with the rest API that could do that. With the AI reasonbly easy now a days. All the info it needs to have is in the Swagger.yaml file here /Applications/Resolume Arena/rest/docs. I hope this helps you on your way. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

So I actually went ahead and built it!

Arena Watchfolder — point it at a folder, pick a layer, and it syncs your media files as clips automatically. Add or remove files and the layer updates to match.

It has a CLI for scripting and a web UI if you prefer something visual. Supports all common formats
