    I've installed ffmpeg and it's running in my Terminal on Mac, but the mod still doesn't detect it.

    I already saw on the help page what they suggest to do, but how do I do it? How do I type the file path? I have an ffmpeg executable in my downloads folder on my Mac so how would I write that in the small little area thing in advanced settings?

    Sorry if it's annoying posting a thread like this, but I just need some quick help.

    Can you tell me the steps you took so far to install it?

    Can you tell me the steps you took so far to install it?

    I followed this YouTube tutorial
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiLNqg2IOAQ
    (I don't expect you to watch the whole thing just skip to the lines of code if you're gonna watch) Lemme try to explain so you don't have to watch it I basically typed in to terminal where the executable was located (in my Downloads folder) and did the export command and it was running whenever I type in ffmpeg in Terminal it works (I used the executable from ffmpegmac.net) If I explained poorly I'm sorry lol I'm not the best at explaining things and when that didn't work I pasted the file path in the advanced option area (which didn't work but might've been since I did it wrong since I was confused about the file path) but without that before I touched the advanced options it didn't work either.

    I appreciate any time you put into helping me with this, thank you.

    I suggest using this information for installing it: https://www.replaymod.com/docs/#installation-ffmpeg-mac

    Basically all you need to do is type this in the terminal:
    ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

    and then when prompted:

    brew install ffmpeg

    If that does not work for you then there are alternative instructions also found at that link. You can also ask me further questions but my accuracy is limited as I am not running Mac OSX.

    I did that before I followed the tutorial and I thought it worked but I couldn't use any ffmpeg commands, and I kept getting a warning from homebrew that since I was running OS X 10.11 that it might not work properly. When I followed the tutorial on YouTube, I had ffmpeg running perfectly in Terminal but the mod still didn't let me create renders.

    Alright I think that is the case because the replay mod might be looking for it to be installed to/usr/local/bin/ . Try moving your ffmpeg files there or reinstalling it in that location.

    you should able to find that folder by typing this into terminal:
    open -a Finder /usr/local/bin

    If just typing ffmpeg in your Terminal works, just typing ffmpeg in that small little area thing should be sufficient. (You have to restart Minecraft and the Launcher after setting up ffmpeg. Not sure if you have to restart your MAC as well, I don't have one and never had).

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys when I get back from work I'll try everything and I'm sure afterwards I'll finally get it working. If not I'll post again. Thanks for all of your help!
