    Hi, I am new to this mod and the replay functionality works great but rendering is a problem. When viewing a replay everything works as it should, but when i press render, no matter what settings i input it always says to install ffmpeg and shows a red screen, ffmpeg has been installed on this computer (iMac) and rendering still doesn't work. Help is very much appreciated, Thanks!

    There is a tutorial for installing ffmpeg on mac here.

    Ensure ffmpeg is installed in /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
    Ensure ffmpeg is added to your $PATH

    The executable ffmpeg files are in the local folder should there be a ffmpeg folder that they are in instead, and what is $PATH? Thanks, Sorry for this inconvenience.

    Did you install through Homebrew?

    Easiest is to: Go into Rendering Window, Switch to Advanced options until you see a view similar to this



    in the left box, enter the full path to your ffmpeg executable file.
