    I sent this to the scene 7 team and they replied: 

    Make sure the ffmpeg executable is set correctly in the system path, they should be able to run ffmpeg from any directory but it should be placed somewhere in apps directory. 

     

     The issue from the logs: time=2016-03-03 12:12:40,145; thread=[JobHandler: /etc/workflow/instances/server0/2016-03-03/model_1826931836444354:/content/dam/iea/test/Tom And Jerry Cartoon - New Video1.mp4/jcr:content/renditions/original]; logger=c.d.c.s.c.f.c.S7VideoFFMpegTranscoder; message=Could not find ffmpeg's executable; tenantName=NA; userName=NA;

    Can you try other videos as a test ? Do you still get that error.

      I sent your info back to the team. They believe this is a bug and stated:

      "Let’s get them to open a Daycare issue to address this. 

      It looks like they have the .exe in the right location, but they didn’t mention if they set the ffmpeg executable is set in your system path (which I believe is the source of the issue). "

      As I can understand from your response that there is some issue in integrating Secne 7 with AEM 6.1. So can wee use the default cq5 renditions for video assets instead of S7? What does Adobe recommends in this regards?

      Hi, Ffmpeg should be set as environment variable. And then restart your AEM server. Once done upload your assets , renditions should be generated for the assets.
