 Force key frames at the specified timestamps, more precisely at the first
 frames after each specified time.
+
+If the argument is prefixed with @code{expr:}, the string @var{expr}
+is interpreted like an expression and is evaluated for each frame. A
+key frame is forced in case the evaluation is non-zero.
+
 If one of the times is "@code{chapters}[@var{delta}]", it is expanded into
 the time of the beginning of all chapters in the file, shifted by
 @var{delta}, expressed as a time in seconds.

+The expression in @var{expr} can contain the following constants:
+ at table @option
+ at item n
+the number of current processed frame, starting from 0
+ at item n_forced
+the number of forced frames
+ at item prev_forced_n
+the number of the previous forced frame, it is @code{NAN} when no
+keyframe was forced yet
+ at item prev_forced_t
+the time of the previous forced frame, it is @code{NAN} when no
+keyframe was forced yet
+ at item t
+the time of the current processed frame
+ at end table
+
+For example to force a key frame every 5 seconds, you can specify:
+ at example
+-force_key_frames expr:gte(t,n_forced*5)
+ at end example
+
+To force a key frame 5 seconds after the time of the last forced one,
+starting from second 13:
+ at example
+-force_key_frames expr:if(isnan(prev_forced_t),gte(t,13),gte(t,prev_forced_t+5))
+ at end example
+
+Note that forcing too many keyframes is very harmful for the lookahead
+algorithms of certain encoders: using fixed-GOP options or similar
+would be more efficient.
