# Studio Collections
The `studio` Default Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the studios available in your library.
This file also merges similarly named studios (such as "20th Century Fox" and "20th Century Animation") into one ("20th Century Studios")
**This file works with Movie and Show Libraries.**

## Collections Section 07
| Collection | Key | Description |
|:-----------------------------------------------------|:----------------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `Studio Collections` | `separator` | [Separator Collection](../separators) to denote the Section of Collections. |
| `<<Studio>>`<br>**Example:** `Blumhouse Productions` | `<<Studio>>`<br>**Example:** `Blumhouse Productions` | Collection of Movies/Shows that have this Studio. |
## Config
The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
```yaml
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
- pmm: studio
TV Shows:
metadata_path:
- pmm: studio
```
## Template Variables
Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.
Note that the `templates_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified is its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.
All [Shared Collection Variables](../variables) are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.
This file contains a [Separator](../separators) so all [Shared Separator Variables](../separators.md#shared-separator-variables) are available as well.
