Automation (Watch Folder)

Set a watch path so new videos are automatically added to the media library and processed.

Beta Feature Automation is currently in Beta. Features may be adjusted in future versions.

What Is Automation

The Automation feature continuously monitors a folder you specify. When a new video file is placed in that folder, the system automatically copies it to the media library and runs a Speech Recognition (with optional Translation) task using your current settings.

Ideal for batch-processing large numbers of videos, or for achieving a "drop and process" workflow.

How to Use

  1. Open "Batch automation · Watch folder" Click the "Batch automation · Watch folder" button in the main interface to open the Watch Folder panel.
  2. Set the watch folder Enter the folder path to monitor in the text field, then click "Save path".
  3. Configure your Speech Recognition and Translation settings Automation processes new videos with your current Speech Recognition and Translation settings (recognition model, source and target language, translation engine), so make sure they are configured in advance.
  4. Click "Enable" A dialog shows the settings that will be applied. Confirm it to begin monitoring. A "Monitoring" indicator appears in the top status bar.
  5. Drop in videos Place video files into the watch folder, and the system will automatically start processing.

Important Notes

Operations restricted during monitoring While monitoring is active, all manual write operations in the main interface (import, delete, OCR, translation, etc.) are disabled to avoid conflicts with automatic processing. To perform manual operations, stop monitoring first.
