sh: ffmpeg: not found on Heroku

I am using paperclip gem and piperclip-ffmpeg on a Rails 3.1 setup.

After deploying to Heroku, I am getting this error after uploading a video.

sh: ffmpeg: not found on Heroku

My Model

class Video < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_attached_file :asset, :styles => { 
    :medium => { :geometry => "640x480", :format => 'video/mpeg' },
    :thumb => { :geometry => "100x100#", :format => 'jpg', :time => 10 }
  }, :processors => [:ffmpeg]
end

I'd be surprised if ffmpeg not available on Heroku, but that's may be the problem.

Any suggestions?

Deploying and running Thumbd on Heroku is simple, however, currently in its stock form, video thumbnailing fails due to an internal ImageMagick error.

Follow the detailed instructions here: https://github.com/mubeenh/thumbd/commit/1d2b63a7507263db73d7971176c49e0ea4052e9d

ffmpeg is not installed on Heroku dynos by default. See this project for a potential solution.
