One way to get such a version of FFMpeg for Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 
is via MacPorts <https://macports.org/>. MacPorts is a command-line 
system for distributing and building free software, mostly as source 
code. You install MacPorts on your system, then ask it to install 
FFMpeg. MacPorts retrieves the source code, builds FFMpeg for you, and 
installs it.

MacPorts as a list of Mac OS X El Capitan Problems 
<https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ElCapitanProblems> and I do not see 
FFMpeg mentioned there.  Absence of a problem ticket does not guarantee 
that MacPorts can make FFMpeg work on El Capitan, but it is encouraging.
