npx remotion install

removed in v4.0.0

See "No more FFmpeg installation". Here for archival purpose.

available from v3.3

Ensures that ffmpeg or ffprobe are installed by downloading them from the internet if they cannot be found.

bash
npx remotion install ffmpeg
bash
npx remotion install ffmpeg
bash
npx remotion install ffprobe
bash
npx remotion install ffprobe

You might not need to call this function. Remotion will automatically download ffmpeg and ffprobe if a render is attempted, and no binary was found.

These commands are useful if you need ffmpeg and ffprobe to be ready before the first render is started.
