Alec,

Very cool stuff you’re doing with Miro, thanks for sharing.

Do you know about watched folders? They might be an easier way to add downloaded videos to your presentations.

All you need to do is: File > Options, find the white box that says, “Watch for new videos…” and click ‘Add Folder’, then select a folder (like the folder you download into), and it will turn into a new channel. Everything you download or move into the folder is automagically added to the channel.

Thanks for the positive support!
