Hallo,  
amateur question.  
What can I asset my folder video? I read link in this forum, but there was solution via gulpfile.js, but it doesnt exist in my project.

my example:  
resources/assets/video

after:  
yarn build  
yarn start

I get link to folder /dist/video/…mp4, but the folder dist contains only  
images  
scripts  
(+styles in cache)

What can I add my folder video? config.js? If yes, how?

Thank you for help

Vana

The following section of `webpack.config.js` configures which files are copied during the build process (which I assume is all you want to do with your videos—if you need to process them in some way you would need to add a different loader to do that).

The following line in `config.js` allows you to specify a glob that is used to by the above code to determine which files to copy, so you’d want to adjust it to include your `video` directory and the files within it.

uf, uf… yes, I want only copy from resources to dist…  
So, how can I modify config.js?

const config = merge({  
open: true,  
copy: ‘images/\*\*/\*’,

copy: ‘video/\*\*/\*’, \<\<propably stupid !

proxyUrl: ‘[http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)’,

If you take a look at the source for `copy-globs-webpack-plugin`, the tool that’s being used to copy these files, you can see the format that it expects globs to be in:

> <https://github.com/QWp6t/copy-globs-webpack-plugin/blob/e8b7491f35f31ebbe7bb1d5c6c61b6c01d3c954f/src/CopyGlobsWebpackPlugin.js#L20-L32>

So in your case you would probably want:

```
copy: '(images|video)/**/*',
```

Globs are used quite a bit in the Sage webpack configuration, so I’d strongly recommend reading up on how they work: [https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob#glob-primer](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob#glob-primer)

Hi Ben, thank you very much for your answer… Big help!  
Finally for me was correct this coding writting: **copy: '+(video|images)/**/\*’,\*\*
