-Force key frames at the specified timestamps, more precisely at the first
-frames after each specified time.
+Force key frames at the specified timestamps (more precisely at the first
+frames after each specified time) or at the specified frame numbers.
+
+If the argument is prefixed with @code{n:}, the comma-separated @var{number}
+strings will be interpreted as numbers / indices of frames that should
+be forced to be key frames.
 
 If the argument is prefixed with @code{expr:}, the string @var{expr}
 is interpreted like an expression and is evaluated for each frame. A
