No need to dig through your file explorer again—VLC has several straightforward ways to jump right to the folder of the video you just watched. Here are the easiest methods:

1. Use the Playlist Right-Click Menu #

This is the quickest option if you have the playlist visible:

• If your playlist isn't showing, press Ctrl+L (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+L (Mac) to bring it up.
• Find the video entry you just played (it should be highlighted or near the top of the list).
• Right-click the entry, then select Show in Folder (the exact wording might vary slightly by language—look for options like "在文件夹中显示" in Chinese). Your system's file explorer will pop up directly at the video's folder.

2. Access via Recent Media List #

If you closed the playlist or can't find the entry, use the recent media menu:

• Click the Media menu at the top of VLC.
• Hover over Open Recent Media to see your recently played videos.
• Right-click the video file you want, then choose Show in Folder from the context menu. Done!

3. Use Media Information Window (For Extra Context) #

If you want to see the full file path first, this works:

• Press Ctrl+I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+I (Mac) to open the Media Information window.
• In the General tab, look for the Location field—it shows the full path of your video.
• Right-click the path in this field, then select Open Containing Folder (or similar) to launch the folder directly.

Bonus: Keyboard Shortcut (Windows/Linux) #

For power users, select the video entry in the playlist and press Shift+Enter—this instantly opens the containing folder without any extra clicks.

That's all! Any of these methods will save you from re-navigating to the folder manually.
