digitalFAQ.com Forum - Guide available for starting Hybrid settings?

I've gathered from this and other posts that Hybrid can be a good tool for converting my raw files from VHS (HuffYUV, 720*480 using virtualdub guide), captured with to a format suitable for upload and sharing with family in Google Photos.

However, I have no clue what options to use and there are a million of them.

Attached are sample before and after using the following settings. Anything I should be adjusting?

Also I'd love to add a mask, all in one step -- is that possible in Hybrid?
