Answer 1

Presets are now deprecated.

Here's what I used.

gource -f -3840x2160 --camera-mode  track  --file-idle-time 150  --max-file-lag 4 --seconds-per-day 2 --highlight-all-users --output-framerate 30 --output-ppm-stream output.ppm

ffmpeg -i output.ppm -c:v libx264 -crf 24 -preset veryslow output.mp4

FFmpeg does not include text file based presets and profiles anymore for libx264, i.e. what you've used with the -vpre option. These have been depreciated and removed in favor of accessing the actual x264 presets, profiles (and tunes) with the -preset, -profile:v, and -tune options. The old text files only emulated the official x264 presets and profiles, and due to several limitations could not offer full functionality that the new system provides. It is also much easier to maintain.
