![]() No other OS has been near it (I have an older desktop for doing that with).Īs described earlier in the thread the reinstalling still gives me a one-time go work around. The laptop, a Dell Vostro15 3000, runs win 10 pro as installed by Dell. steve August 20, 2021, 5:48pm 2 The current version of Audacity is 3.0. This is what I have copied/pasted from Preferences\Libraries C:\Program Files\FFmpeg For Audacity\avformat-55.dllĪfter first having the problem I changed the address of the FFmpeg folder so that the new ones installed (as shown above) as per various suggestions earlier in this thread. The mp4 is generated by OBS which is used to combine cameras and audio to feed Zoom. I replaced the initial version in August after setting up a laptop at my church (where I’m the sound guy) and seeing the new generation with just the one project object. I have not had FFmpeg popups before I recently needed to import an mp4 once a week and have only tried to do this since having V3.0.3 and V3.0.5. The laptop was bought in February 2020 so the oldest version of Audacity would have been the current one then. It seems a bit ‘over the top’ to have to reinstall each time I need to use FFmpeg. I did a reinstall of V3.0.5 and again it worked correctly until closing & opening it again I re installed the FFmpeg, ‘Located’ it Edit to the original directory location, restarted the computer but still got the error message. I restarted the computer but got the same fail condition. Then closed and reopened Audacity, attempted to import the mp4 but got the ‘FFmpeg not found’ popup message. I successfully imported an mp4 played it and saved the project, using the FFmpeg in the above location. Tried changing permissions but no success. I relocated the ‘FFmpeg For Audacity’ folder and files under the ‘Audacity’ folder and re ‘Located’ the FFmpeg to the new location.Īgain got the ‘FFmpeg not found’ popup message. I attempted to load an mp4 but the ‘FFmpeg not found’ popup message appeared. I used Edit\Preferences to browse to Locate the folder, installed in the C:\Program Files folder. I used the FFmpeg installer to install the ‘FFmpeg For Audacity’ folder and files. ![]() I now have a need for FFmpeg to import mp4 for audio extraction and editing. Step 5: Now, we need to go to the appropriate folder that contains FFmpeg.Hullo. Make sure you quit Audacity before uninstalling, or you will receive errors that some files could not be. Select 'Audacity' from the list and follow the instructions which will launch the Audacity uninstall application. Step 4: But, again if a message saying ” Locate FFmpeg ” appears, it means that we need to locate the “ avformat-55.dll“.To do so, click on Browse to locate the folder. Audacity can be uninstalled by choosing ' Add/Remove Programs ' or ' Uninstall a application ' in the Windows Control Panel. NOTE: Most of the time FFmpeg library will be installed in the correct location only. Step 3: If a Success notice appears indicating that Audacity has now automatically detected valid FFmpeg libraries and asks you to identify them manually, Click on NO. Step 1: Open Audacity, click on Edit > Preferences , or simply Click Cltr+P. This is done by following the steps given below. Audacity will now ask you to configure Preferences to locate the FFmpeg library. This means that you have installed FFmpeg when Audacity is Open or you have installed it to a non-default location ( Directory) in your system. Sometimes you may still get the same error, even after installing the FFmpeg library. ![]() ![]() If your distribution ships with a different version, it may not get detected, or may not work correctly. Step 14: Audacity can now open/import and edit large-range audio formats without any problem. Caution: Audacity supports FFmpegs libavformat in version 55 (all Audacity versions), 57 and 58 (Audacity 3.1+), 59 (Audacity 3.2+) and 60 (Audacity 3.3+).
