Where is FFMPEG file in Heroku

[arisprung18]

I am directing the FFMPEG to my local file when running on my local computer.

FFmpeg ffmpeg = new FFmpeg("/usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/4.2.1_2/bin/ffmpeg");

However when I deploy to Heroku where should I direct the FFMPEG initialization?

AFAIK, with this buildpack, ffmpeg becomes available as an environmental varible, meaning you should be able to use it anywhere without specifiying the path and just writing ffmpeg.

So the path would just be ffmpeg and your code would become:

FFmpeg ffmpeg = new FFmpeg("ffmpeg");

But I could be wrong 😥

on heroku, it's in your $PATH, so you just have to call ffmpeg from the CLI.

which i'm assuming is what @spookyUnknownUser's code does
