chore(deps): remove subprocess calls to FFMPEG with av (#335)

* chore(deps): remove subprocess calls to FFMPEG with `av` Linked to the progess made in https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3501. The following PR aims at reducing subprocess calls for security and speed reasons. Also, with https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3501 is merged, FFMPEG should not be needed anymore as it is part of `PyAv`. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * fix(lib): oops forgot to commit those changes * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * chore(lib): clear assets and clean code * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * chore(doc): document changes --------- Co-authored-by: pre-commit-ci[bot] <66853113+pre-commit-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
