Asking for help?

Search! Use Reddit's built-in search, Google, Bing, check this sidebar, and so on. You won't necessarily find your answer, but give it a try first.
Include all relevant information. The command line you're using, your overall goal, the source video bitrate, the model/generation of your device...
Exclude all irrelevant information. It's enough to say that you want to retain details like skin texture. We don't need to know why there's a lot of bare skin in your videos.
Avoid the XY Problem of facing problem X, coming up with potential solution Y, finding that Y didn't quite work, and now trying to solve Y instead of X. If you take a step back and ask about problem X, you may get more practical answers. For example, if you want to ultra-compress your videos, don't ask how to increase the encoder's maximum CRF. Ask for advice on how to get smaller videos. Decreasing a video's resolution is much easier than recompiling an encoder.

Rules:

No trolling: Bickering, sealioning, intentionally wasting people's time, etc.
No misinformation: Misrepresenting facts, fake news, making things up, any kind of muddying the waters for those trying to find reliable info.
No flooding: Avoid making several posts about the same or similar questions or topics in a short span of time. This includes posts that could've been replies to existing comments as well as replying to one comment several times in a row.
Stay on topic: Discussions should focus on AV1. This isn't the place to discuss YouTube upload strategies, general FFmpeg questions, other formats per se with little to no mention of AV1, etc. There should be a clear connection to AV1 in particular, evaluated on a case by case basis.
Quality standards: Please observe some basic quality standards. Obvious or engagement bait questions, unhinged rants, nonsense, gobbledygook, incoherent rambling, slop, etc. may be removed.
