There are complications only when you don’t know about the commands you have to use for the respective functions. i dunno.If you are new to it, I must clear your mind that FFmpeg is easy and robust to use. but i'm tired enough of debugging this that i'm ready to throw in the towel and conclude that whatever the situation, apple silicon support is hit-or-miss for 3.2.0 maybe having some pre-existing universal/x86 ffmpeg installation dooms you or something. One of the other posts here reports being on an M1 macbook air, so i can't really explain the different outcomes we've all had. i also tried some of the earlier releases (namely the beta and alpha releases of 3.2.0) and got the same set of issues.

i'm honestly a little surprised that i found this relatively recent post, so i felt like checking in with what i've tried.Įdit: i just found that the x86 build finds the ffmpeg library without issue. I don't see debug output options or any kind of error reporting to go on, and i'm seeing this kind of error crop up for people over the years, so there's a lot of noise in the search results. Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/ffmpeg.55.64bit.dylibĪt a loss for options, i tried pointing to each of them in turn, to see if that would get audacity to recognize. Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/ffmpeg_utils.52.64bit.dylib Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/ffmpeg_codecs.55.64bit.dylib tried deleting /Library/Application Support/audacity/libs and reinstalling. tried reinstalling ffmpeg via the installer. Tried uninstalling audacity and reinstalling. I see ffmpeg.55.64bit.dylib in /Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/, where it's supposed to be i select it in the Locate dialog menu and click open the window closes as if it worked, and.

downloaded the 64bit version of ffmpeg and installed it successfully.
