## macOS "Silicon" builds
The FFmpeg binaries that are bundled with Flamenco are linked directly from
[ffmpeg.org](https://ffmpeg.org/), and thus there is a level of trust. That
website, however, does not link directly to any trusted binaries for macOS
"Silicon" ARM64. This is why Flamenco did not ship macOS/ARM64 builds for a long
time. As of v3.3 this architecture will be included in the official Flamenco
builds, but for now will be shipped without FFmpeg binary.
The macOS "Silicon" build does not ship with FFmpeg, because a trusted build for
this architecture is not provided by the FFmpeg project. This is why Flamenco v3
did not ship macOS/ARM64 builds. As of v3.3 this architecture will be included
in the official Flamenco builds, but still without FFmpeg binary.
You can install FFmpeg using [the ffmpeg Homebrew formula][brew] or any other
method. Once installed Flamenco Worker should find it automatically. If not,
place the ffmpeg executable into Flamenco's `tools` directory.
[brew]: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/ffmpeg
To install this binary, download it from a source you trust or build it
yourself, then place it into Flamenco's `tools` directory.
