This earlier thread may be of some background interest, where Andrew
Randrianasulu guided me to build Cingg from git using the system FFmpeg
and libs on openSUSE Tumbleweed-Slowroll.

1. It is a little hard to say for sure depending on how the package
you installed did the build. But most likely the ffnpeg routines will
be in a subdirectory of something like cinelerra-5.1/thirdparty/ffmpeg-8.0
(edited - if I remember correctly, you used Andrey's Fedora build
which is the best option for you)
2. Again most likely the fedora package you are using was built using
its own ffnpeg routines and not your systems version.
(edited - 3. You can not point to a different ffmpeg version unless
you do you own build.)
For what purpose are you looking for the ffnpeg routines?

Hello Phyllis and Cinelerra Team,
I'm looking through the CinelerraGG_Manual.pdf document for
information about configuring FFMPEG and I have a few basic
questions for you.
1) The manual states that Cinelerra has an FFMPEG configuration
directory. However, where si that directory located on default
Linux installs, Fedora specifically?
2) I installed Cinelerra pre-built from a repository. What FFMPEG
does it use? That is to say, if there are two or more versions of
FFMPEG installed on a system, does Cinelerra come with its own
FFMPEG or does it use an FFMPEG already on the system?
3) How may I point Cinelerra to a custom FFMPEG, i.e. one of a
different version?
Many thanks,
Andrew Wesly
