I'm going down the rabbit hole of av1 encoding right now.
What is the best setup to do quality (vmaf, simulacra2) targeted encodes?
What is the better encoder for non-grainy videos between svt-av1, svt-av1-essentials, svt-av1-psyex, svt-av1-hdr?

Once my current encode is done in 20min im gonna try using these programs I have.

I really want something that can set a floor for a image metric and not go past it.

pic related is the last encode I did compared to the CRF 3 control video. (CRF 0 introduced artifacts)
