To add FFMPEG(libav) into CMake project, we can use pkgconfig:

find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_check_modules(FFMPEG REQUIRED IMPORTED_TARGET
    libavdevice
    libavformat
    libavcodec
    libavutil
    libavfilter
    libswresample
    libswscale
)

target_include_directories(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE PkgConfig::FFMPEG)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE PkgConfig::FFMPEG)

Maybe not all libs are required by your project. Remove unnecessary libs if you want.
