Hi, I’m using an Acer Chromebook (linux) and I used sudo apt install ffmpeg to install it, then checked it with ffmpeg -version, which shows this:
But when I go into Krita and try to import a video into an animation, it tells me that FFmpeg was not found and to add a path to FFmpeg. Then it goes into my files, which doesn’t have an actual folder/file for FFmpeg because I installed it with Linux.
Can you try the latest beta it has built in ffmpeg.
Edit: I downloaded the beta, and it seems to work, but before it finishes loading, it crashes.
It will be in /{something}/bin/{whatever} - so many different places for utility executables.
It will be called ffmpeg so you could try searching for it.
It looks like Linux on Chrome, of which I know nothing, is using a Debian repository source for ffmpeg.
(Edit:Add: On my Debian system, it’s /usr/bin/ffmpeg )
There is an alternative possibility:
If you go here: John Van Sickle - FFmpeg Static Builds there are Release 6.0 builds for
arm64, armhf and armel processors. I don’t know what your Acer Chromebook uses but try the arm64 build first.
I’m assuming it uses Arm, but if it’s Intel then use the amd64 build.
You open them with an archive manager, extract the entire contents folder structure, then point to the ffmpeg executable inside.
