+ at section thumbnail
+Select the most representative frame in a given sequence of consecutive frames.
+
+It accepts as argument the frames batch size to analyze (default @var{N}=100);
+in a set of @var{N} frames, the filter will pick one of them, and then handle
+the next batch of @var{N} frames until the end.
+
+Since the filter keeps track of the whole frames sequence, a bigger @var{N}
+value will result in a higher memory usage, so a high value is not recommended.

+The following example extract one picture each 50 frames:
