Based on @Konstrukto’s report, I have just unpacked the file “krita-x64-5.2.0-setup.exe” and can confirm that the file “FFmpeg.exe” is missing in it. In the archive of the portable version, however, the file “FFmpeg.exe” is present. Since I myself only work with portable versions of Krita, I didn’t notice this, and I hadn’t explored the absence of the “FFmpeg.exe” file more deeply with @Konstrukto, during the RC phase, for some unknown reason.

I just have reported it as bug:

> **[475509 – The file "FFmpeg.exe" is missing in Krita's...](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475509)**

@Konstrukto, can you please confirm this bug in the bug-tracker?

## Add/Edit: The fixed file is now downloadable via Krita’s homepage and as well from [Jenkins.](https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Krita_Release_Windows64_Build/)

> Hoping only that file is missing, I uploaded the ffmpeg.exe used in the RC to my cloud, you can download it from here: If that does not fix your issue, I would download the portable version of Krita’s RC and copy over its bin -folder to the one of your installation. Choose to skip existing files instead of overwriting them, this way you should get all missing files.
