This is incredibly helpful! I gave it a shot, but it doesn't seem to be writing the time of encoding to the CSV file. Just leaves it blank. I tried with a 1 minute clip and a 2 minute clip

Edit 1: Forgot to add i'm on MacOS Mojave

Edit 2: Made some tweaks and got Second's to appear, albeit with a little less granularity

`#!/usr/local/bin/bash

infile="test3.mov"

datafile="TestClipTwoMinData.csv"

crfs=("18" "19" "20" "21" "22" "23" "24" "25" "26" "27")

presets=("ultrafast" "superfast" "veryfast" "faster" "fast" "medium" "slow" "slower" "veryslow")

echo 'CRF,Preset,Time (Secs),Size (MB)' >> "$datafile"

for crf in "${crfs[@]}"; do

for preset in "${presets[@]}"; do

    outfile=Out_CRF_"$crf"_Preset_"$preset".mp4

    time_start=$(date +%s)

    ffmpeg -i "$infile" -c:a aac -c:v libx264 -crf "$crf" -preset "$preset" -pix_fmt yuv420p "$outfile"

    time_end=$(date +%s)

    # Dividing by 1 forces the scale to be used.

time=$(((time_end-time_start) ))


    size_bytes=$(ls -l "$outfile" | awk '{ print $5 }')

    size_mb=$(echo "scale = 2; $size_bytes / 1000000" | bc)

    echo $crf,$preset,$time,$size_mb >> "$datafile"

Last but not least, I think it was an issue with date in BASH on MacOS. So I wrote a work around that doesn't use date. I also added Bit Rate calculation based on putting the length in seconds of the input file at the top of the script. Pretty hackey but...

`#!/usr/local/bin/bash

infile="15s.mov"

datafile="TestClipTwoMinData.csv"

declare -i cliplength=15

crfs=("18" "19" "20" "21" "22" "23" "24" "25" "26" "27")

presets=("ultrafast" "superfast" "veryfast" "faster" "fast" "medium" "slow" "slower" "veryslow")

echo 'CRF,Preset,Time (Secs),Size (MB), Bitrate (KBps)' >> "$datafile"

for crf in "${crfs[@]}"; do

for preset in "${presets[@]}"; do

    outfile=Out_CRF_"$crf"_Preset_"$preset".mp4

SECONDS=0

    ffmpeg -i "$infile" -c:a aac -c:v libx264 -crf "$crf" -preset "$preset" -pix_fmt yuv420p "$outfile"


time=$SECONDS


    size_bytes=$(ls -l "$outfile" | awk '{ print $5 }')

    size_mb=$(echo "scale = 2; $size_bytes / 1000000" | bc)

bitrate=$(echo "scale = 2; ($size_bytes / $cliplength) / 1000"  | bc)

    echo $crf,$preset,$time,$size_mb,$bitrate >> "$datafile"

done
