FFMPEG killed – not much information for troubleshooting – CentOS

can’t find out what might be causing this killed. Any tips? or what kind of logs might help to troubleshoot? It just says ‘KILLED’.

This FFMPEG is installed in my AWS Linux (centos rhel fedora)
I am quite confident the file is OK as the ffmpeg runs ok on my local macos (but different ffmpeg installation from brew).
