I have done that, the files are created in their normal locations where the rest of the photos are. But the files created by ffmpeg don't have the execute x permission bit set and I think because of that they're invisible in the photos app.
Forgive the possibly obvious question, but have you tried `chmod +x` ing the ffmpeg output files with termux?

They presumably don't publish apps that use exploits to help the user gain root without unlocking the bootloader and wiping the data partition.
Because it wasn't obvious to me for a while: the Play store version is old, basically broken, and vulnerable [0]. Don't install it. The description does mention this relatively high up, but do you really read through the description for something before installing and playing around with it, especially if you already know what it is? I don't usually like having old versions of software removed from distribution, but…
From README - "There are plans for unpublishing the Termux app and all its plugins on Play Store soon so that new users cannot install it and for disabling the Termux apps with updates so that existing users cannot continue using outdated versions. You are encouraged to move to F-Droid or GitHub builds as soon as possible."
Vulnerability Disclosure was made on 2/15/2022 [0]. Above text was added to README.md in 9/8/2021 commit [1]. The issue was first acknowledged in README in 4/26/2021 commit [2].

Termux singlehandedly makes me feel like I'm living my childhood dream of having a full computer in my pocket. I use git to blog from my phone, I have ffmpeg and yt-dlp installed to download videos for when I am going to be away from internet access for a while, and I even have some home automation scripts setup that control the lights over the local network. But I am concerned about the direction Android is headed,…
Why would I want to install termux? You basically need a keyboard to use it; at which point you might as well grab a laptop.

Google does, in fact publish apps that require root access in the play store. Titanium Backup is a popular example (though I'd recommend the open source Neo Backup instead). They presumably don't publish apps that use exploits to help the user gain root without unlocking the bootloader and wiping the data partition.

Which is one of the reasons why Termux has issues on modern Android versions.
