## Allowed Files

![](/files/7t3I1IbZ2iEAxZoUzrru)

Set filter for file extensions to import.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If file extension is not supported by Premiere Pro or After Effects\
file won't be imported.
{% endhint %}

## Ignored Folders

![](/files/862DPOGfyG4e88x2MpoT)

Set folder names to be ignored during import.

Filter is case insensitive, adding "proxies" will filter out all folders:\
"proxies", "Proxies", "PROXIES", "pRoXiEs" etc.

You can set [**Regex**](/extensions/watchtower/settings/regex-folder-name-filter.md) filter as well, put regex pattern between two slashes: "/\_AME/"

{% hint style="info" %}
When new folder created inside watch folder, "untitled folder" (or another name, depending on OS language) will be immediately added to project, before you have time to rename it.

To avoid this, add "untitled folder" to folder name filter in settings
{% endhint %}
