    You have to set the correct path (/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg) in the Command Line Settings "Command" field.

    If you have any issues with FFmpeg, you might want to take a look at this.

    After hours of attempts, I am getting nothing.
    What do I need to insert in the left and right box if I already have the needed programs? (Mac)

    If you have ffmpeg installed in /usr/local/bin/ you have to enter /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg.

    Left or right box? Also what goes in the other box?

    Left box for the ffmpeg.
    Right box is only for advanced users, it defines the arguments for the ffmpeg command to render your video.

    So should I keep the right box empty, or keep the default command?

    Leave the command inside

    Well, for some reason It still says that I don't have the program, dammit.

    Is there any terminal command I can use to check whether I have it in the correct file area?

    The file name is called ffmpeg-2.7.2, correct?

    How did you install ffmpeg? Using brew or did you download the static file from the website?

    Oh no, I meant brew, I was just confirming that the version is 2.7.2.



    Is this the file I need to run the rendering process?

    Spoiler:


    I dont have a Mac but I suppose its fine.
    Now just run brew install ffmpeg

    Note: brew has nothing todo with video rendering, it is just a program to install ffmpeg

    I have to apply administrative power to my user to do it, so I gotta do a quick restart.

    I will contact you in 2-3 minutes!

    here is the output:

    ==> Installing ffmpeg

    The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local

    You can try again using:
    brew link ffmpeg
    ==> Caveats
    FFmpeg has been built without libfaac for licensing reasons;
    libvo-aacenc is used by default.
    To install with libfaac, you can:
    brew reinstall ffmpeg --with-faac

    You can also use the experimental FFmpeg encoder, libfdk-aac, or
    libvo_aacenc to encode AAC audio:
    ffmpeg -i input.wav -c:a aac -strict experimental output.m4a
    Or:
    brew reinstall ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac
    ffmpeg -i input.wav -c:a libfdk_aac output.m4a

    So I guess I am missing the 'brew link' is something of that sort:
    Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully

    I have no clue how Mac works. You could either try the alternativ way of installing it (explained here) or see if someone Mac advanced can help you.

    I tried the alternative way quite a while ago, no luck :c Thanks for trying your best, I will have a second attempt on this tomorrow, and hopefully, it will be successful! Thanks again and good night :)
