If you would like to compress your video before uploading, the following shell script may be useful:
Q=56
ffmpeg -y -i "$1" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v 0 -crf $Q -aq-mode 2 -an -tile-columns 0 -tile-rows 0 -frame-parallel 0 -cpu-used 8 -auto-alt-ref 1 -lag-in-frames 25 -g 240 -pass 1 -f webm -threads 8 /dev/null &&

+passes. During the first pass, the frame count will increase, but the
+speed will be 0. After the first pass, it will display proper progress
+information.
