//Open directory from existing directory

//Set extension filter
FileChooser.ExtensionFilter extFilter = new FileChooser.ExtensionFilter("AVI files (*.avi)", "*.avi");

VBox vBox = new VBox();
vBox.getChildren().addAll(labelFile, btn);

StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(vBox);
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 250));
