Audacity constantly crashing on Mojave with external program FFmpeg command Export

I'm trying to export a file with the following command and Audacity crashes consistently every time I hit save. I've tested these ffmpeg options working successfully directly in the terminal. This ffmpeg version was installed with homebrew.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i - -c:a libfdk_aac -profile:a aac_he_v2 -ac 2 -b:a 32k "%f"

Try testing with a "32-bit float WAV" as the input file. Does that work?
