Moving Files to Root of Move folder instead of Subfolder with Movie name

The items that need to be renamed will be in a folder on a local drive, either called Movies or TV. The TV does exactly what I need it to. But for Movies when it renames and moves it, it puts them in the X:\Movies folder but also creates a sub folder named after the movie.

So this is what I want
Movies
-Ghost Busters (2016).mp4
-Thor (2015).mp4

But this is what it does
Movies
-Ghost Busters (2016)
--Ghost Busters (2016).mp4
-Thor (2015)
--Thor (2015).mp4

So just want to move the renamed file and not a folder with the name as well. Is that possible? The source files are in subfolders named after the movie, so I just want to pull the movie only and dump all the movie files into the root of my Movies folder.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "X:\Movies" --action move -non-strict "C:\Downloads\Movies" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt
