"Archiving Old"/Moving Media By Year

For the purpose of space conservation, I would like to be able to use filebot to move all movies and TV episodes based on their release date. For example movies from before 2010 move to a different directory/disk - all TV episodes from before 2015 move to the different directory/disk.
Does anyone know an easy way to do this? I couldn't find it any methods with the search function.
Thanks

The command-line examples cover this exact use case:

Move old movies:
Code: Select all
filebot -rename -r . --db xattr --output 'Old Movies' --filter 'movie && y < 1970'
Note that
--db xattr only works if the files have previously been processed with FileBot and if xattr metadata has been set.

Not to worry. FileBot is a mysterious beast. Even I often discover new things it can do simply combining existing features in novel ways.
