A strictly confined snap package containing the master GPL builds of FFmpeg provided by BtbN. This package contains statically compiled binaries for ffmpeg, ffprobe, and ffplay. This package will be updated on a weekly basis and the version of the package is the update date.
For security, this snap is built without network access. It can safely process local media files in your home directory or on external drives.
Important Note: Because ffmpeg is a highly contested and common command name, all the commands are hidden behind unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg namespace. If this package is the only ffmpeg deb/flatpak/snap package you are going to use on your system, after installation, please define aliases for the commands using: sudo snap alias unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg.ffmpeg ffmpeg sudo snap alias unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg.ffprobe ffprobe sudo snap alias unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg.ffplay ffplay

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Debian 9 (Stretch) and newer, snap can be installed directly from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
After this, install the snapd snap in order to get the latest snapd:
sudo snap install snapd
To install BtbN FFmpeg (unofficial), simply use the following command:
sudo snap install unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
