The Legacy Options page includes Watchfolders and Legacy Authoring Mode settings.

Watchfolders are folders on a hard drive or other storage medium that are monitored by Pinnacle Studio. When the contents of a watchfolder change, the Library is automatically updated.

When you use watchfolders, a Library Media branch is added to the Asset Tree in the Library. You will also see a Library Media branch if Pinnacle Studio detects a library from a previous version of Pinnacle Studio (you must enable watchfolders if you want to continue populating this branch).

You can create as many watchfolders as you wish and optionally set them up to watch for only one media type (video, image or audio) instead of all three, the default.

To designate a folder on your system as a watchfolder, click the Enable button, and then the Add Folder button below the watchfolders list, and navigate to the folder you wish to add. To cancel watchfolder behavior, select the folder in the list and click the Remove Folder button.

Click the Apply button to direct the Library to update its catalog in light of the watchfolder changes.

You can enable or disable the legacy Author tab for Pinnacle Studio. The Author tab provides disc authoring features and provides access to Library Disc Menus content. Click the Enable button to restore the Author tab.
