FFmpeg boasts a full-fledged support for all the major codecs and audio/video format. You repeat this for the play and probe exec file and you should be set for the Opentoonz creativity to be exported into gif, mp4, etc.FFmpeg is an open-source multimedia framework which provides powerful multimedia handling capabilities to the developers, content owners and publishers. Here comes the issue, you have to open your security panel to allow the file (coming from elsewhere than App Store) with your approval then, you click open, and the terminal will do the work for you. Then move the 3 exec files to it, and right click on them and open it with Terminal. Once you have dowloaded them, go to Application on your Finder and click on opentoonz stuff to create a folder (simple) called ffmpeg. it brings you to a page where you will have to click on the (showed on the same page, just under different names, look carefully because it seems that you have missed it) ffmpeg, play, and ffprobe (zip link) basically you will download 3 exec files. Then you go to the page, then select the apple Icon. Whatever you do until you get to your final result, ALWAYS have your setting - security panel open, because for any reason, your security settings will block all apps coming from elsewhere than App Store. Maybe at some time in the future I'll do that.įirst step I guess is to copy the link of brew.sh of their page into your terminal. It would be better to find out which ones are actually needed and install only those. It was not clear to me which of the 4 executables OpenToonz actually needs so I installed them all. It should be working now (at least it was for me). Set the file path for ffmpeg: /Applications/OpenToonz/OpenToonz_stuff/plugins Enable OpenToonz under the Accessibility category. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy. The programs will run in the terminal and then report an error. The download links are displayed in large green buttons and there are several on the page.Įxtract these compressed files to your system.Ĭopy the executables to /Applications/OpenToonz/OpenToonz_stuff/pluginsĬontrol(right)-click > open each of the executables you moved into the plugins folder. Here is what I did:ĭownload ffmpeg, ffprobe, ffplay and ffserver from the download page.

I installed the 'static files.' I did not build from source. After a bit of a struggle, I got OpenToonz 1.4 working with ffmpeg on a Mac running macOS Catalina (10.15). At least one user found another answer hard to follow.
