Wondering how can I start a constant quality encoding using aomenc.exe

Hey guys ,I'm just going to give it a shot ,see how aomenc performs in 2020.

However after downloaded aomenc.exe & carefully studied "aomenc.exe --help" , I couldn't find any settings about qp mode , I've just found tow params probably related to output quality ,which are "--end-usage=" & "--target-bitrate="

I'm wondering how can I achieve a same result as when I'm using e.g. "x265 --crf 20" ,without manually specify a output bitrate (Since it's usually hard to findout what bitrate those group of picutres should be.)

Need help ,thanks.

--end-usage=q --cq-level=X

Note that q encode is not really the same as CRF. If it can help, here is my base line :

.\aomenc.exe input.y4m --output=output.ivf --end-usage=q --cq-level=35 --cpu-used=4 --row-mt=1 --threads=12 --width=1920 --height=1080 --tile-columns=1 --tile-rows=1 --bit-depth=10 --fps=24000/1000 --enable-fwd-kf=1 --kf-max-dist=250 --aq-mode=1 --noise-sensitivity=2

Also remember that aomenc performs 2 passes encode by default.

Thanks dude.
Would you mind help me figure out what's the difference between --end-usage=q & --end-usage=cq?

q is for constant quality
cq is for constrained quality

So cq is like q with a bitrate value not to be exceeded.
