Ive finally figured out how to load ffmpeg using home-brew. The terminal says it's there but I cannot find it, let alone map it to use with opentoonz. Please help!

I highly recommend you learn how to use the command line and also review the actual Homebrew documentation & website. The answers are all there. Homebrew is not a traditional app that is easy to use. A user needs to really understand Homebrew before using it. Homebrew has been known to break macOS for some people and the fixes involve using the command line.
For an answer to your question:
https://docs.brew.sh/FAQ#why-is-the-default-installation-prefix-opthomebrew-on-apple-silicon
You can also use the command (replace "<name-of-utility>" with the actual name of the Homebrew item you are trying to locate):
brew info <name-of-utility>
I hope you have a good backup as you may need it when using Homebrew. You should have frequent & regular backups anyway.
M1 based Mac
eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)
intel based Mac
eval $(/usr/local/bin/brew shellenv)
add the right eval statement to your shell initialization script, or run manually each time you start a new Terminal session.
What is the output of the following commands in Terminal
1:
which ffmpeg
I suppose that it may be saying it is not found, otherwise you'd know where it is
2:
echo $PATH
3:
ls /opt
4:
find /opt /usr/local -name ffmpeg
Just a suggestion, but since those two apps are not Apple software you might get faster and better assistance from the respective developers.
How do I locate and map ffmpeg after home-brew installation for use with OpenToonz?
