Installation

Axiom is portable and can be run from any location on the computer.

1. Extract Axiom.FFmpeg.7z to a location of your choice.
2. Run Axiom.exe or create a shortcut on the Desktop.
3. It will automatically detect ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe in the included ffmpeg folder.
4. If you move the ffmpeg folder, set the Windows Environment Variable or specify a path in the Axiom Settings Tab.

Add FFmpeg to Environment Variables (optional):

1. Move the ffmpeg folder to a location of your choice, such as C:\Program Files\.
2. Go to Control Panel → System and Security → System → Advanced system settings
3. Advanced Tab → Environment Variables → System variables → Path
4. Add C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin\
5. Separate multiple paths with a semicolon ; (Windows 7, 8, 8.1)
6. Typing ffmpeg in Command Prompt will now execute without needing to specify a direct path.
