I'm setting up Sickbeard MP4 Automator (calling it Automator now) to process video files after I receive them. Currently what I want it to do is to turn every file into x264 with NVENC acceleration, without having noticeable loss in audio quality. I've set up the Automator to what I think would probably work, basing it off the closed issues that I found on its GitHub page.
However, I keep getting this error in the sma.log of Automator, "10 bit encode not supported"

I've tried using just software encoding by using FFMPEG without going through Automator and found that it converted fine. If I do use CUDA acceleration by inputting this ffmpeg -y -vsync 0 -hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda -i D:\torrentz\examplefile.mkv -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 5M D:\transcode\waawe.mkv I also get the 10 bit encode error, so I don't think it's the fault of Automator. But, if I do have to adjust something, I have to do it in Automator too, right?
Here's my autoprocess.ini from Automator. If there are other things off about it, please let me know.

I tried using -pix_fmt yuv420p, here's what I got

Finally got ffmpeg to cooperate with me by using

Apparently you needed to "mix cpu and gpu in processing 10 bit color to 8 bit, which means you cannot ask ffmpeg to use CUDA hardware acceleration" according to the one that helped me. Now I just need to figure out how to make Automator work.
