    i mainly use exec for ffmpeg like exec("ffmpeg ....."); buy
    my host has ffmpeg installed but has the exec() function disabled.

    is there any other way i can execute it?

    That's the problem of using ffmpeg on hosted solution, most host does not give exec access.

    Coming to ffmpeg-php api, I doubt if you can make movie using it.

    You can try making animated gif by captured frames from video but making a full movie might sound difficult.

    If making animated gif, you can also call it as sequence of images put together as movie, solves your problem, then try it out and let us also know if it works for you :)
