What the statistics describe
Candidate statistics summarise the analysed picture evidence used by scene and black-frame rules. They are diagnostic measurements, not a guarantee that a transition is an advertisement boundary.
Review in context
- Navigate to the candidate frame.
- Inspect several adjacent single-frame thumbnails and the waveform.
- Compare black/scene statistics with nearby ordinary dark or high-motion frames.
- Keep, remove or convert the candidate to a chapter mark/cut.

Patterns in false positives indicate which parameter to change: threshold for excessive scene marks, black/contrast/region settings for dark-content mistakes, or spacing/block rules for incorrect candidate grouping. Retest a short sample before rescanning a long source.
