Maximum Brush Size. Pretty self-explanatory here--bigger setting, bigger brush. I was even able to correctly predict that a smaller setting also meant smaller brushes. Sheer brilliance. However, this setting can be a tad misleading, since Video Gogh's brushes always "grow" into place instead of appearing initially at the size you specify, so you don't always get the exact brush size you may expect.
Opacity. This setting is probably a bit misnamed because changing it from 0 to 1 pretty much had the effect of changing brightness of the surface that the brushes are painting on. A setting of 1 was more of a bright canvas look, while moving closer to 0 got more into the "Velvet Elvis" style (an entertaining, if not good, style, but not for everyone). [an error occurred while processing this directive] Extra Distance Between Brushes. Changing this setting means the difference between tightly or loosely packed brush strokes.
Rate Of Color/Angle Update. This setting controls how "busy" the painting seems over time by setting the rate at which the brushes paint the effect on. One thing to note is that Video Gogh's animation is completely reliant on the movement and color changes present in your source clip, so, if you're trying to use this setting on a still frame or background, don't expect a whole lot to happen here.
Render Current Over Last. This setting has two main uses. First, it can be used to achieve a multiple-exposure effect by "ghosting" the previous frame while rendering the current frame. Second, depending on how far apart you've set the distance between brushes, this setting can help cover up some of the non-painted areas that can appear with widely spaced brush strokes.
Force Rerender. This is actually a pretty big liability, so I'll come back to this in the "Limitations" section.
Clip 1: People scene. (Yes, I know that's a PC. Sorry.) Oily style, large brush size, opacity set to 0.75.
