Is there a way to automatically download new artwork as I add videos into my library?
No, but you can set up a cron job to call AD on a regular schedule.
and will that allow me to just update new videos or will it cycle through my entire library the way AD does? Just seems like an unnecessary strain on databases when you just need artwork for 1 movie?
The cron job will launch AD. When AD runs it will check various websites to see if there is any new artwork that matchs whatever criteria you have set in AD settings. An alternative would be to use a media manager to manually select whatever art you want for new videos before you add them to the library. If you're using a scraper then AD isn't really necessary. The scraper will download poster and fanart.
