I just installed Audacity 2.4.2 and I already have ffmpeg 4.3.1 installed via home-brew.
So how do link Audacity to use this version of ffmpeg?
When I go to preferences in Audacity → preferences → Library
I can’t find this file on my Mac : /Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/ffmpeg.55.64bit.dylib
These are the files present under ~/Library/Application Support/audacity
AutoSave Plug-Ins audacity.cfg pluginsettings.cfg
Macros SessionData pluginregistry.cfg
This is what I see:
% ls -al /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
lrwxr-xr-x 1 computer4 admin 35 Sep 27 00:22 /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg → …/Cellar/ffmpeg/4.3.1_1/bin/ffmpeg
As I mentioned in my previous post, I also see files under
~/Library/Application Support/audacity
You can either point Audacity to the location where you installed ffMPEG, or you can use the installer linked-to from here, which will put the correct version of ffMPEG into the default location for Audacity.
