ComfyUI-AnimateDiff-Evolved: [AnimateDiffEvo] - WARNING - ffmpeg could not be found. Outputs that require it have been disabled

I keep running into this problem: [AnimateDiffEvo] - WARNING - ffmpeg could not be found. Outputs that require it have been disabled

I don’t know why it’s giving me this message as ffmpeg is definitely installed on my system and a PATH is even set in environment variables.

Any thoughts why this might not be working? Should I be able to export video files in addition to .gif and .webp? I’ve updated comfyui and all the associated nodes.

How do you just turn off this warning? I don’t plan to put ffmpg and use outdated nodes. I would like not to see 6 warnings in a row every time I start (I don’t know why I have 6, but it’s a fact).

@TheMGilroy Install ffmpeg with homebrew, it works for me, I’m also on m1 max :

brew update brew upgrade brew install ffmpeg

@Gloynus I pushed a new change just now to keep the warning from repeating on every page reload - I’m guessing on your end, you had duplicate warning messages pop up for each tab/refresh done, that should go away now - will only display the first time ComfyUI is accessed in the browser after a ComfyUI restart.

Hi, little feedback for MacOS (apple silicon), there is the same problem with ffmpeg, and we obtain a black picture when the generation is finished.
