gatsby-plugin-ffmpeg

This is a relatively low level helper plugin for video transcoding with ffmpeg. You generally shouldn’t need to use this.

You’re most likely looking for gatsby-remark-videos if you want to automatically convert videos in your markdown, or gatsby-transformer-ffmpeg if you’re looking to use these videos elsewhere in your website

Install

npm install --save gatsby-plugin-ffmpeg

ffmpeg with the correct codecs is also required.

MacOS

With Homebrew 2.0.3/ffmpeg 4.1.1 ffmpeg options are no longer available on the default tap.

From https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/macOS

The following will install ffmpeg.

brew tap varenc/ffmpeg
brew tap-pin varenc/ffmpeg
brew install ffmpeg $(brew options ffmpeg --compact)
