Have you read through the License Compliance Checklist?  Read it carefully.  There is a very significant difference between GPL and LGPL for non GPL source code applications. See point #1.

Hi,
I'm planning to create a simple video editor (video cutting and merging) and found the libav libraries useful. Since libav is under the LGPL license, I have some questions about this license's usage. Q1) When we distribute our program, do we have to upload the whole libav source code that I used for this project and the object files of the project?
#3 - Distribute the source code of FFmpeg, no matter if you modified it or not.
Q1-1) If Q1 is true, then if we have the dlls for libav, we don't have to upload the object files of our project?
You do _not_ need to distribute the object files if linking dynamically.
Q2) This could be a silly question. One of the open-source projects I used needed to be paid to use their codes. (This was a really rare case for me a long time ago.) Because of this, I was wondering if we have to pay to use libav.

No ( donations are welcome )
