Bug 455420 - This isn't exactly a bug, but could you please allow us to use the FFmpeg source code to export our animations please? Since I am a tablet user, I can't download FFmpeg, only the source code. Krita always tells me to download FFmpeg instead.

Hi, this is not allowed because you need to compile source code before it can be used by anything. The reason FFMpeg doesn't work on android is because there's no version of FFMpeg for android.

We're investigating what we can do to allow animation export on android, but there's no estimates for that (5.2 will allow animated webp and jpegxl export, but those won't get audio, we're still searching for an audio solution). We will never be able to allow you to use the source code of ffmpeg on it's own to export animation, as that itself is technically impossible.
