Are you getting "invalid profile baseline?" Try running x264 --help and
look for Presets:

it should look like this:
Presets:

      --profile <string>      Force the limits of an H.264 profile
                                  Overrides all settings.
                                  -
baseline,main,high,high10,high422,high444
      --preset <string>       Use a preset to select encoding settings
[medium]
                                  Overridden by user settings.
                                  - ultrafast,superfast,veryfast,faster,fast
                                  - medium,slow,slower,veryslow,placebo
      --tune <string>         Tune the settings for a particular type of
source
                              or situation
                                  Overridden by user settings.
                                  Multiple tunings are separated by commas.
                                  Only one psy tuning can be used at a time.
                                  - psy tunings: film,animation,grain,
                                                 stillimage,psnr,ssim
                                  - other tunings: fastdecode,zerolatency
