While ffmpeg is available via brew install ffmpeg, it installs a monstrous amount of dependencies.
Your static build is the best option for a mac user (especially on silicon), but the only hindrance is that updating it requires manual steps (visiting the website, running the installer, etc.).
Publishing on homebrew as a cask would be a life saver.

I’m thinking something like brew install —cask ffmpeg (tbh I don’t know about homebrew’s package naming policy, whether they’ll allow this name or not)

and thank you so much for the binaries!!

For posterity: until [and if] this gets published, we can use this short python script (repo link) (written as a python package, to build the ffup executable) that my friend wrote for his usage
