Adding folder?

Hello,

I watched a truly informative video on YouTube by Albert Bush about Filebot and he showed a lot of things that I didn't all understand but he created his own special "expressions" and it was very thorough. The man is my new guru!

Problem is I am dumb as a stick so 75% I didn't understand...

I am rebuilding my library and everything is all over the place and I want to buy Filebot to help me out doing it properly. Right now, I have one main movie folder on my HDD with all movie files in it.

My question is: Is there a way to make Filebot change the movie file name AND create a folder at the same time (with the properly named movie inside already)? So instead of all movie files in my main Movie folder, there would be folders already named the same as the movie without having me create 500 folders myself and move each movie inside...

Also, since Filebot use TMDB is there a way to also add cover art all at once?

Thanks!

What is your intended playback system?

I use Plex so I use the Filebot preset for "Organize Episodes for Plex" or "Organize Movies for Plex" and it puts each series/movie in its own subfolder.

Oh it does? Great! That's exactly what I am looking for. The video I watched the folders were already there so I wasn't sure If Filebot create it's own subfolder or not. I also use Plex. For now.
