FFMpeg

This is more complicated to install properly. Here are the steps I took. There are many different ways to do this FYI.

1. The link to downlod ffmpeg is Here
2. When you arrive at the page, you will scroll down and see something like this. Download and install the 7-zip Utility, shown below.
3. Scroll down some more until you find this:
   
4. Open the 7zip utility and open the ffmpeg folder you downloaded, it should look similar to this:
5. Open the folder and find the bin subfolder.
6. Open the bin folder, there you will find a few .exe files. Those are the ffmpeg binaries. Drag this 7zip window to the side.
7. Create a new folder in your drive. I created them in my C Drive. It is best to name the folder something easy as it will help you down the line. In my case, I named it "FFMPEG"
8. Now you want to select the .exe files in the 7zip and copy them over to the folder you made in the C drive. It may look similar to this:

Almost Done!

9. Next, you want your machine to know where to find these files. You want to edit your system environmental variables.

For a machine with WINDOWS OS
Click the search icon and type in path and click Edit the system environment variables
ON the pop up, at the bottom right, click Environment Variables...

A pop up like this should show now (Don't worry if you have differeing variables and values, these shouldn't affect the process):
10. Under System Variables double click the variable called PATH (if you want the machine to recognize these ffmpeg files under all users on your machine, otherwise find and double click PATH under User variables for...)
11. Now click NEW and type in the path of the folder where you copied the FFMPEG .exe files and then press OK. In my case, the folder was named "FFMPEG" and it was on my C drive, so my path looked like this...
12. Click OK and you restart your machine!

Testing that FFMPEG is successfully installed

1. For WINDOWS OS: Open cmd prompt
2. Type in

ffmpeg

3. You should have a bunch of text pop up similar to this
