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.

It doesn't seem libass is in the output.
