Hi, The error do net seem related to the hardware or the OS, as it simply state a "permission Error". It seem Blender do not have permission to use ffmpeg when stored in the addon folder (default location when automaticly downloaded)

Try placing the ffmpeg binary on another place in your filesystem (not in application support). Then in addon preferences, point to ffmpeg using the path field an try again.

Also make sure to 'move' ffmpeg from the addon folder (path shown at last line of the error block)

Hi, i have the same problem. Moving ffmpeg didn't help in my case :(

The permission error is due to the file not being allowed to execute.

To fix it: Open a terminal (you can find it by typing terminal in spotlight search) And enter following command to authorize ffmpeg bin to be executed

chmod +x path/to/ffmpeg

In your case @jimofhughes it's the path you see on the last line, after the Permission denied:: you should keep the quotes, since there is a space in the path.
