Yes they are in the Docs, but....

Neither of those options currently appear to work with cropdetect (the options 
are accepted-but don't work as expected).   Other have hinted at there being an 
obvious reason why -ss won't work with cropdetect, but I don't see any possible 
*real* reason why they won't work together except a coding choice making it not 
easy to implement.

In the -ss case the option is accepted, but does not appear to actually cause 
cropdetect to skipframes, if you use the framestep option it is accepted and 
works but cause cropdetect to not be done ( -vf frameskip=30,cropdetect=12), if 
you use (-vf cropdetect=12,frameskip=30 ) then cropdetect is done but no 
frameskip appears to be happening.
