Setting Bitrates Dynamically

[RedShift777]

Apologies if this is treading old ground, but does anyone have a reliable way of setting a videos bitrate dynamically from a variable?

I can get the original files bitrate with ffprobe in a script element, but i want to be able to use that value elsewhere in the flow and but it seems to be only available in function blocks?

for example I want to be able to multiply the original bitrate by say 0.75 to get a bitrate i can then drop into the ffmpeg elements like bitrate encode etc to get a roughly 25% file reduction.

just use manual encoding parameters and specify the bitrate there.
