+The histogram plugin ordinarily applies a value for a single frame. A
+new feature modifies histogram to show values for a selection of frames.
+You use several frames in a video that you want to use the \textit{average}
+color to determine the color you want the rest of the video to be. When
+there is a large light or color variation within a range of a few frames,
+you spend a lot of time correcting each frame when it would be better to
+just get an average value to use. If you want, then you can make a LUT for
+that set of frames instead of each frame. A practical case may be the shooting of a room illuminated by a lamp and then with the light off. We can choose only the range of illuminated frames and then we will have the whole shot illuminated. Or we can choose only the dark frames and so we will have all the dark shot.

+It works by selecting the area on the timeline for
+which you would like to see the Histogram averaged and then click on the
+\textit{Frames} button in the Histogram plugin.
+The parameters are:
+\textit{Linear to Log} slider: frequency in Linear range to Log range; default is
+50\%, but if you want it to be the same as the Videoscope or Histogram Bezier, set the slider
+all the way to Log. The variation is by 10\% steps. Linear generally represents what
+the eye sees in the real world. Log is an exponential look where the small numbers are
+represented more - that is, the leading digit.
+\textit{Frames} button: if a Selection is set on the timeline, the number of frames
+will be calculated and shown in the box next to it.
+\textit{Frame Count box}: type in the number of frames you want to be looked at
+starting at the insert marker or use the up/down counter.
+\textit{Clear Frames} icon: reset the frame count to the default value of 0.
+
+A side note: by using a number of frames, you can get a \textit{dissolve-like
+transition effect}.
