You need to make sure ffmpeg path is in the global $PATH. The error you're getting means that when Ruby process tried to find a command named ffmpeg or avprobe, none of them was in the $PATH defined for the process or the global $PATH.

Just a quick note, in my case I didn't even have ffmpeg installed on my Mac dev machine so I had to install via Homebrew: 

brew install ffmpeg

You'll have to install ffmpeg on your server as well and make sure it's in the $PATH so paperclip-av-transcoder can access it correctly.
