'ffmpeg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I am trying to convert group of images .png to video .webm on Windows 10:

ffmpeg -i %03d.png output.webm

But I am getting this error:

'ffmpeg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Solution

  • 3 solutions:

    • Put ffmpeg.exe into the folder that has your PNG images.

    • Or, in cmd provide the full path to ffmpeg.exe. Example:

       "C:\Users\Mark\Downloads\ffmpeg-20210913-28f7a91-win64-static\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i %03d.png output.webm

    • Or, add the folder with ffmpeg.exe into your system PATH.
