About FFmpeg

If FFmpeg Library is installed you can crop images and convert video on server side.

• FFmpeg requires a server-side configuration.
• FFmpeg binary distribution is not allowed, it's provided separately.
• FFmpeg operations are dependent of FFmpeg compilation and server environment.
• Share-hosting might not provide such feature and required resources to convert video.
  For high server load, it's recommended a dedicated server.

Notes

Note that your site can be removed and, or shut down, if you have a limited shared hosting account.

If you create folders and upload files from FileManager, permissions might override FTP settings.

When running a FTP client, the software might recommend that you determine whether you can remove permissions. If you can not remove files or folders from your FTP software, try to do it from the FileManager.
