SVT-AV1-PSY had a major release. Update your scripts https://github.com/psy-ex/svt-av1-psy/releases/tag/v3.0.2
'''Changes from mainline
> --frame-luma-bias has been changed to --luminance-qp-bias, following mainline's implementation.
(...)
Quality & Performance
> --psy-rd can now be used with all tunes.
> --psy-rd has been optimized to slighly increase encoding speed.
> High quality svt-av1-psy psy-rd has been added, and is activated at --psy-rd>=0.6 while using presets 6 and slower. It can considerably increase the strength of psy-rd, greatly increasing visual quality at no rate cost. It's been implemented hrough some careful mode decision changes that occur when psy-rd influence is significant enough. The reason behind not implementing by default and limiting it to slower presets (=0.6.
> --spy-rd levels have been added for greater control over the visual tradeoff that spy-rd pathways provide. The available levels are 0/1/2: 0 is default, with spy-rd disabled. 1 is fully enabled spy-rd (intra mode decision sharpness and interpolation sharpness modifications) and 2 is partially enabled spy-rd (interpolation sharpness modifications only).
> --sharp-tx 1 --psy-rd 0.5 has been made default to increase high fidelity encoding performance.
> --noise-norm-strength 1 is now default. It provides a decent visual quality increase with minor tradeoffs. The recommended strength for tune 0/3 is still --noise-norm-strength 3.
Features
> --sharp-tx has been added and enabled by default; it disables conventional transform optimizations to provide a sharper output overall. In 2.3.0-B, it was enabled by default for tune 0/3. It has the effect, although unintended at the time, of making psy-rd much stronger, which is why it has been kept default. However, for improved user control, we've decided to make it a user controllable setting.
> --hbd-mds has been added as a setting. It can be used to change the bit-depth of the mode decision pipeline. By default, it respects presets defaults. At 1/2/3, it forces 10-bit+ (HBD) mode decision, 8/10-bit hybrid mode decision and full 8-bit mode decision. It has been made available because on faster presets, especially with psy-rd, forcing 10-bit mode decision can make a huge difference to quality.
