Navigate to the folder that contains FFmpeg and select the file " ffmpeg.55.64bit.dylib".
If the " Locate FFmpeg" dialog appears, click Browse.
If a " Success" message indicates Audacity has now automatically detected valid FFmpeg libraries and asks if you want to detect them manually, click No, then OK to close Preferences.
To do this, access Preferences then the " Libraries" tab on the left:Īs in the image above, the "FFmpeg Library Version" will say " FFmpeg library not found". I really hope she does.If you installed FFmpeg while Audacity was running, or if you installed FFmpeg to a non-default location, Audacity will ask you to configure Preferences to locate the FFmpeg library. I hope she comes back and tries again with the new pointers (and, as GHOT pointed out, the right zipped file). We've shown OP that it can be done, and easily. Did you get a choice, or did the program just find the file immediately after you pushed Locate? I think now (just maybe) it gave me a choice between the program finding it and yours truly finding it. I'm sure that (if memory serves, and sometimes it doesn't) when I pushed Locate, it responded with a. Why would that work for you and not for me? I'm not doubting you, I'm just puzzled. But that surely can't be because your avformat-55.dll was in a folder you named FFMPeg, while mine was in a folder I named ffmpeg-win-2.2.2. You've discovered that you can eliminate "negotiated to the ffmpeg-win-2.2.2 folder, selected avformat-55.dll, OK" by doing what exactly?Īfter I pushed Locate, I had to browse to my ffmpeg-win-2.2.2 folder, which is inside the same folder my other Audacity files are in. When you go tp Preferences > Libraries and click the Locate button it detects then automatically, you don't even need to go browsing for them.Okay. If you unzip ffmpeg-win-2,2,2.zip to the \App\FFMPeg sub-folder in the folder where Audacity is installed then it really is a breeze.
