Hi @daydreamzeus,

FFMPEG is something you’ll need to install. As such it’s not related to the size or resources of the droplet. You should be able to install FFMPEG on any of the droplets without an issue!

Give it a try and let me know how did it go.

Hello @daydreamzeus

Yes, you have root access to Droplet so you can install ffmpeg in any plan.

Best, Dikshith
