As of this post, the latest version of ffmpeg is 4.1.
I was getting errors about options being invalid. I tried some here, and the cool one liners, but none worked. I just did brew options ffmpeg, copied the results, and cleaned it up.
Here is the result for anyone who needs it and in the same boat:
brew install ffmpeg --with-aom \
--with-chromaprint \
--with-fdk-aac \
--with-fontconfig \
--with-freetype \
--with-frei0r \
--with-game-music-emu \

Thanks, @WadeShuler. This worked for me. It did not work when issued as a reinstall, however. I didn't bother to investigate why, I most likely had an older version lying around conflicting with 4.1 as this specific system has been through many os updates. If you run into similar issues a clean install of the package should fix it.
Looks like with Homebrew 2.0.3/ffmpeg 4.1.1 ffmpeg options are no longer available on the default tap.
I have followed guide on https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/macOS Additional options to compile ffmpeg with additional options.:
brew tap varenc/ffmpeg
brew tap-pin varenc/ffmpeg
brew install ffmpeg $(brew options ffmpeg --compact)

Help please - Error: invalid option: --with-libvidstab.
I've done brew install libvidstab and reinstalled ffmpeg, no good. Still same error.
Does brew install varenc/ffmpeg/ffmpeg $(brew options ffmpeg --compact) work now?
^ "sakalauskas" approach from on Mar 5 seems to have worked for me on Mojave mac.
:( not for me.

Thankyou, this one solved my problem, if you got an error probably its from dependency that not yet installed,
in my case, i'm missing decklink sdk (ERROR: DeckLinkAPI.h not found) so i go to install decklink sdk brew install amiaopensource/amiaos/decklinksdk and everything worked.

⚠️ Note: This tap is currently not actively maintained. For an up-to-date tap, see homebrew-ffmpeg.
So, I installed using homebrew-ffmpeg, with the instructions there. I wanted to install all of the options, but decklink had an issue. I don't even know what decklink is, so I just copy/pasted the options output by brew options ffmpeg --compact and removed decklink.

EDIT: Oh, it looks like @ixna solved the decklink problem above by installing the deps, so you could do that first and the one liner should work.
Doesn't seem to work now... Does this work?

I got the following to work (comments from prior months did not work):
brew tap homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg && brew install homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg && ffmpeg —help
benedictchen’s command doesn’t work for me. I first got an error about a circular dependency that I fixed by temporarily commenting-out the line with ffmpeg in brew edit chromaprint; then I got an error about DeckLinkAPI.h that I fixed with brew install amiaopensource/amiaos/decklinksdk. Now ffmpeg is installed, but every time I run it I get this error:
$ ffmpeg --version

To be install ffmpeg as completely as possible without throwing errors, I eventually came to this:

I get the same error as @bfontaine.
@brookjordan's command did the trick

On a fresh MacOS Monterey install, a simple brew install ffmpeg got me all the following:

I am getting
invalid option: --with-libass
I'm interested in libass. How to install it?
I'm on Mac.
@AtomicNess123 When I installed ffmpeg recently via homebrew it came with libass already. Try just installing with brew install ffmpeg and then run ffmpeg by itself to see if: --enable-libass is int he output.
Thanks! I have the last version installed with brew: ffmpeg 5.1.2_1 is already installed and up-to-date.
