i didn't bundle the ffmpeg in the app. It uses homebrew to install ffmpeg on the user's device. this is the acceptable way since ffmpeg confirms it on twitter/X.

This tweet also explicitly says "But still would be nice to have some credit.".

Why isn't FFmpeg mentioned on your app's website?

The same goes for ImageMagick by the way.
