That procedure is after you finish the whole encode, right?
Is there a way to set it before you start encoding the whole film first?

Thanks,
Run 1st pass only, do adjustments and then do 1 or 2 more passes.
As I said- it's rare you can do much better than SP3 itself. If region is crazy difficult then SP3 will allocate maximum bitrate you set anyway, so you can't do any better manually. You have to then raise maximum bitrate or simplify source- de-noise etc.
You have to be carful and know what can be changed between passes- some things require re-creation of the 1st pass. Manual should say what is allowed. Last time I used SP3 was many years ago.
