in First-time course creation

Hi, I'm just uploading my videos from dropbox using the bulk uploader. My course has 160 videos, which on my computer are organised into folders so I know which section they belong to.

Is there any way to organise my udemy uploaded library into folders so I can easily find the ones to add to each section?

It would be awesome if I could just drag folders into the bulk uploader, and then the sections are automatically created for each folder.

Cheers

Michael

    Hi @3d illusions
    Thanks so much for starting this thread —that’s a great question. Right now, we do not have that feature available, though I could certainly see how it would be valuable for you, given the use case that you described.

    I’m going to pass along your thoughts and needs to our product team here just in the chance that this becomes something that we might build out in the future. Please let me know if there are any other insights that you’d like me to provide.

    Thanks, that would be great. I've been adding my sections and lectures for around 7 hours now, and I'm only a 3rd of the way through! Getting tired of manually creating the same thing over and over

    If you could also ask them to have it create the lectures automatically for each video, so:

    • section from folder name
    • lectures with titles from file name (excluding numerical prefix)
    • use the file/s as the content for the lecture

    In case of different file types in the folder, the auto-course creation function could let the user choose from checkboxes which file types will create lectures. For mashups, users could name the files the same with a different number prefixed to indicate the order.

    That would mean the Tutors would just need to add descriptions (unless your developers could extract them from a csv or spreadsheet).
