Hi Natalie, Sorry, you are right that it is still missing from the 1.17.2 release. However, you can just use the daily build until we get a 1.17.3 release out. ffmpeg is in the daily build. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hi Natalie, The ffmpeg executable was mistakenly omitted from the 1.17 releases. We are working on a 1.17.2 release that will include it, but it might still be a day or three before that's available. Depending on your timeline, I think your options are:
(1) Wait for the 1.17.2 release.
(2) Install the older 1.16 release for just this one purpose. You can have multiple different versions installed without problem.
(3) Try to put the ffmpeg executable you have into https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/bin__;!!K5... , I'm not 100% certain that will work due to Apple's security policies, but it might.

Hello,
I am having troubles saving my animations on my Mac OS. I get this error when I record and save my animation:
An error occurred during encoding. See Reply Log for details. Error during MPEG encoding: ----------------------------- Exit value: -1 Error message: Could not find ffmpeg executable ——————————————
I googled some solutions regarding “ffmpeg” and I believe I successfully installed it to my terminal, but I am still receiving the same error.
Thank you, Natalie Walsh
