Does adding something like

```julia
before_install:
  - if [["$TRAVIS_OS_NAME" == "linux"]]; then wget https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/trusty-media/+files/ffmpeg_3.3.3~trusty2_amd64.deb ; fi
  - if [["$TRAVIS_OS_NAME" == "linux"]]; then sudo dpkg -i ffmpeg_3.3.3~trusty2_amd64.deb ; fi

```

in `travis.yml` work?  
Note that this is just a guess based on how Plots.jl installs wkhtmltox on travis for the tests. (See [https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/blob/master/.travis.yml#L21](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/blob/master/.travis.yml#L21) and [https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/blob/master/test/install\_wkhtmltoimage.sh](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/blob/master/test/install_wkhtmltoimage.sh))
