A Lambda layer containing a static version of FFmpeg/FFprobe utilities from the FFmpeg Linux package, compatible with Amazon Linux 2.x and Amazon Linux 1.x instances (including the nodejs10.x runtime, and the updated 2018.03 Amazon Linux 1 runtimes).
- Unix Make environment
- AWS command line utilities (just for deployment)
This package includes FFmpeg 4.2.2 compiled to be compatible with LGPL v2.1, packaged by giusedroid. For more information, check out the build repo.
Run the following command to deploy the compiled result as a layer in your AWS account.
make deploy DEPLOYMENT_BUCKET=<YOUR BUCKET NAME>
By default, this uses ffmpeg-lgpl-lambda-layer as the stack name. Provide a STACK_NAME variable when calling make deploy to use an alternative name.
An example project is in the example directory. It sets up two buckets, and listens to file uploads on the first bucket to convert and generate thumbnails from uploaded video files. You can deploy it from the root Makefile using:
make deploy-example DEPLOYMENT_BUCKET=<YOUR BUCKET NAME>
