Install pre-compiled version of ffmpeg (if you don't already have ffmpeg installed on your system). YOU WILL NEED AN ADMINISTRATION PASSWORD.
1) Before downloading the ffmpeg build check to see if you have the Unarchiver program. If not go to this link and install the free software http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html )
2) Download the most recent static file from FFmpeg Static Builds by tessus, http://www.evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/ , and save it to "Downloads" the file should look like “ffmpeg-1.x.x.7z”
3) Uncompress the .7z file with unarchiver
The unarchived file is a single executable file, "ffmpeg" and should be saved to the user's "Downloads" folder
4) Open the "Terminal" application following this path (Applications->Utilities->Terminal). These next steps create a directory for the ffmpeg application and then install the application in that directory.
5) In the terminal, type the following line exactly as written (you may need an Admin password to complete this step and following steps) then hit “return”:
open /usr
This will open a finder window for the hidden “usr” directory. Do not delete or move existing folders or files in this directory as this may damage the operating system.
6) We want to place the ffmpeg file in this directory path (~usr/local/bin). If you already see a folder called “local” double click to open. If not create a new folder called “local” inside the “usr” directory.
7) Double clock on “local” and create a new folder called, “bin”.
8) In the terminal, type the following line exactly as written (you will need an Admin password to complete this step) then hit “return”:
sudo mv ~/Downloads/ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/
9) test to see if "ffmpeg" is correctly. Launch a new terminal window (Shell menu-->New Window--->Basic). Type the following command:
ffmpeg [return]
The terminal should return a long string of information that describes the FFMPEG build.
10) Close terminal application.

"waveform viewer" sounds like you may be using AEO-Light 2.x rather than this version. The page for that is https://usc-imi.github.io/aeo-light/ , with issue reporting at https://github.com/usc-imi/aeo-light/issues
We've had another report of an older mac with Radeon graphics failing in the same way, so it's likely due to OpenGL compatibility issues.
