# Studio Collections
The `studio` Default Collection 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")
## Requirements & Recommendations
Supported Library Types: Movie, Show
