Formatif Pro | Media Processing Engine

FFmpeg (v8.1.1) is used for core video and audio decoding, remuxing, and transformation.

Primary License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) v2.1+. Copyright (c) 2000-2026 the FFmpeg developers.

Compliance note

Formatif Pro is bundled by default with a shared LGPL build of FFmpeg. FFmpeg is utilized as a separate executable and communicates via standard command-line interfaces. Users are free to replace the included FFmpeg libraries with their own versions.

Certain high-efficiency features, such as CPU-based x264/x265 encoding, are provided through an optional user-initiated download of a GPL-licensed FFmpeg binary.
