    I did a cursory look but could not find a post on this. I have tried running ffmpeg from the terminal but it always returns command not found. I have FFMpegX installed in applications. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall from another installer?

    Thanks in advance

    I believe that link is to an issue installing FFMpeg through HomeBrew. I already ahve FFMpegX installed and working but it does not appear as a command in the Terminal.
    When I try to do this (without the quotes) at the OS X Terminal, "ffmpeg -i 1Cut.mov -ac 1 1Cut_mono.mov", I get a return that states "ffmpeg command not found".

    Thanks in advance

    ./ffmpeg returns "No file or directory".

    Where should the executable for ffmpeg reside in the mac osx file structure? am wondering if I can type out the complete path. it may not be part of my root environment. Thanks much

  7. as a side note: you probably could download ffmpeg from https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/ and extract the ffmpeg binary into the "/usr/bin/" (or '/usr/local/') folder on your MacOS.
