before working with ffmjpeg in your project you need to install the binary package on your system or server.

Here are the steps to follow and configure ffmjpeg on new or old laravel project.

Here is the official Github package link for laravel-ffmpeg

=> Add the Service Provider and Facade to your app.php config file if you're not using Package Discovery.

// config/app.php
'providers' => [

we can test by creating single route file, try to Convert an audio or video file:

Route::get('/', function(){

FFMpeg::fromDisk('songs')
->open('sample.mp4')
->export()
->toDisk('converted_songs')
->inFormat(new \FFMpeg\Format\Audio\Aac)
