Description
Most appropriate sub-area of Processing 4?
Utilities
Processing version
4.4.4
Operating system
MacOS 11.7.10 (Big Sur)
Steps to reproduce this
1.Install 'Movie Maker II' via Tools > Manage Tools. 2.Run Movie Maker. 3. Movie Maker gives the error 'Creating the QuickTime movie failed. Cannot run program "... frmpeg": error=13, Permission denied' 4. Use 'ls' in Terminal to view ffmpeg's permissions. They are '-rw-r--r--'. 5. Use 'chmod' in Terminal to change ffmpeg's permissions to '-rwxr--r-'. 6. Run Movie Maker again. 7. Movie Maker gives the error 'Creating the QuickTime movie failed. Cannot run program "... frmpeg": error=86, bad CPU type in executable.' 8. If I download the 'static FFmpeg binary for macOS 64-bit Intel' from https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/ and replace the existing 'ffmpeg', Movie Maker works okay.
