Newbie: Making a bash script to transcode multiple files

[thepragmaticmero]

I'm kinda new to av1 encoding, I don't know what to use and the documentation is kinda confusing to me. I just need a cli way to transcode a video, I'll take care of writing the bash script on my own, I just need a command with this structure.
encode --input=/path/to/input --output=/path/to/output [recommended encoding features with xpsnr for best encoding]
My goal is kinda to encode achieving the least amount of disk space. Not too compressed obviously, but prioritizing disk space.
I've read the documentation kind of quickly and saw a couple of parameters, the thing is, I don't know where to add them. Are those commands for ffmpeg? is SvtAv1EncApp useful for my use case?

Ok I found out using SvtAv1EncApp --help that it has the Psychovisual options (or as the project calls it: pussy). Still, what's the recommended way of doing it? I don't wanna do it wrong Q-Q I need a tiny bit of advice

Using SVT-AV1 within ffmpeg from upstream is probably the thing you would be interested in.

I guess I just need to add the parameters that pussy adds to SVT-AV1, right? Thanks for the help and the link~

You can use my build of ffmpeg that has svt-av1-psy
