import os import glob import shutil path = input('Enter folder location: ') os.chdir(path) try: os.makedirs('videos') except FileExistsError: pass dst = path + r"\videos" for x in glob.glob('*.mp4'): shutil.move(path, dst) print('Moved Successfully')

No, I don't want to move dir
I have an Instagram image scrapper
I just want to keep videos separated in another dir
