 By default, ''​vpxenc''​ will use 2-pass method for encoding. By default, ''​vpxenc''​ will use 2-pass method for encoding.
  
-As far as I can tellthere's no default ​when using CQ mode. I don't know what variables ​it'​s ​using for default when doing a 1-pass encode.+To gain a CRF-type resultuse ''​--end-usage=cq --cq-level=<​arg>''​ format, and then a 1-pass encode ''​--passes=1''​ Using this, ''​vpxenc''​ uses a default CQ of 32.

 +You can use ''​ffmpeg''​ to get a deep level of output to see what it's doing, it uses the default CRF of 32:
