Subject: [PATCH] Fix Get-Frame.ps1 parameter forwarding to use preference
 variable splatting instead of manual array building, preventing positional
 binding issues, update Get-FramesRange.ps1 to add -y flag for automatic
 overwrite of existing PNG files, fix Create-ShortClip.ps1 to skip clearing
 default Frames directory when -Render is used (frames are input not output)
 and add null checks before Test-Path in cleanup logic, and update
 documentation in Create-FullSubtitle.ps1 and Create-ShortClip.ps1 to clarify
 existing

+# Video Processing PowerShell Scripts
+
+A collection of PowerShell 7 scripts that wrap ffmpeg and ffprobe for video and image processing. Some scripts also call rife-ncnn-vulkan (frame interpolation) and upscayl-bin (AI upscaling). Each script has its own page in this documentation, linked from the catalog below.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **PowerShell 7+** (`pwsh`). Required by every script.
+- **ffmpeg** and **ffprobe** on `PATH`. Required by every video script.
+- **rife-ncnn-vulkan** on `PATH`, with `RIFE_HOME` set. Required by [Stitch-InBetween.ps1](Stitch-InBetween.md). See [RIFE installation guide](RIFE.md).
+- **upscayl-bin** on `PATH`, with `UPSCAYL_HOME` set. Required by [Clone-Image.ps1](Clone-Image.md) when `-Upscale` is used. See [Upscalers installation guide](Upscalers.md).
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Purpose | Accepted values | Required by |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `RIFE_HOME` | Install folder of rife-ncnn-vulkan (the same folder as its `PATH` entry). Models are read from `%RIFE_HOME%\rife-v4.26`. | Folder path, e.g. `C:\tools\rife-ncnn-vulkan\` | [Stitch-InBetween.ps1](Stitch-InBetween.md) |
+| `UPSCAYL_HOME` | Install folder of upscayl-bin (the same folder as its `PATH` entry). Models are read from `%UPSCAYL_HOME%\models`. | Folder path | [Clone-Image.ps1](Clone-Image.md) with `-Upscale` |
+| `NCNN_GPU_ID` | GPU device passed to the `-g` flag of rife-ncnn-vulkan and upscayl-bin. | `0`, `1`, `2`... (GPU index), `-1` (CPU only) | [Stitch-InBetween.ps1](Stitch-InBetween.md), [Clone-Image.ps1](Clone-Image.md) with `-Upscale` |
+
+These must be persistent user or system variables. An agent shell may not inherit variables set only in an interactive session.
+
+## Check the Environment
+
+Run these once before the first use in a session:
+
+```powershell
+pwsh --version
+ffmpeg -version
+ffprobe -version
+Get-Command rife-ncnn-vulkan
+Get-Command upscayl-bin
+"RIFE_HOME=$env:RIFE_HOME"
+"UPSCAYL_HOME=$env:UPSCAYL_HOME"
+"NCNN_GPU_ID=$env:NCNN_GPU_ID"
+```
+
+If anything is missing or empty, **stop**. Tell the user exactly what is missing and point to [index.md](index.md) (prerequisites), [RIFE.md](RIFE.md) or [Upscalers.md](Upscalers.md). Do not install software or change environment variables without the user's approval.
+
+## Installation and Location
+
+- Git: `git clone https://git.gurusushi.dyndns.org/guru/Video-Processing-Scripts.git` (repository `guru/Video-Processing-Scripts`).
+- SVN: `public-svn`, project `Video Processing Scripts`.
+- The script folder must be on `PATH` so scripts can be called from any directory.
+- `Update-Video-Processing-Scripts.cmd` updates a Git copy to the latest version. Run it only with the user's approval.
+
+## How to Run the Scripts
+
+- Always call a script as `pwsh -NoProfile -File <script>.ps1 <parameters>`.
+- The `.cmd` wrappers are Windows-only convenience files. Do not use them in agent commands.
+- Quote every path that contains spaces.
+- Paths can be absolute or relative to the current directory.
+
+```powershell
+pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Create-Clip.ps1 -Video "My Video.mp4" -Frames "100-200"
+```
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Frame indices are **0-based**: the first frame is `0`.
+- If the extension is omitted, `.mp4`, `.webm` and `.mkv` are tried in that order (for example [Create-Clip.ps1](Create-Clip.md), [Create-Scenes.ps1](Create-Scenes.md)).
+- Files ending in `.skip.mp4` (for example `P01.skip.mp4`) are excluded from batch processing. Batch scripts also skip `.bak.mp4` backups.
+- A `.skip` marker stays last in derived output names: `P01.skip.mp4` gives `P01-Clip.skip.mp4` ([Create-Clip.ps1](Create-Clip.md)) and `P01-Scene-01.skip.mp4` ([Create-Scenes.ps1](Create-Scenes.md)).
+
+## Safety Rules
+
+- **Never pass `-Confirm`.** Scripts run without interaction. Only `-Confirm` makes them prompt. No script sets a `ConfirmImpact` of `High`, so none prompts by default. `Create-Scenes.ps1` sets `Medium`.
+- Before any script that creates, overwrites or deletes files, run it with **`-WhatIf`**. Show the user the result, then run it for real only if the user agrees.
+- Never run a script on files the user has not designated. Never delete source videos.
+
+Scripts that replace or delete existing files:
+
+| Script | Behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| [Clone-Video.ps1](Clone-Video.md) | Overwrites the `-Target` file (ffmpeg `-y`). |
+| [Create-Clip.ps1](Create-Clip.md) | Overwrites the derived clip, through Clone-Video. |
+| [Create-Scenes.ps1](Create-Scenes.md) | Deletes earlier clips of the same source in the source folder, then overwrites them. |
+| [Clone-Image.ps1](Clone-Image.md) | Overwrites the `-Target` image (ffmpeg `-y`). |
+| [Compare-Videos.ps1](Compare-Videos.md) | Overwrites the `-Output` file (ffmpeg `-y`). |
+| [Create-PillarBox.ps1](Create-PillarBox.md) | Removes an existing target before writing it. |
+| [Create-Turnaround.ps1](Create-Turnaround.md) | Overwrites the `-Target` image. |
+| [Crop-Clips.ps1](Crop-Clips.md) | In-place when source and target are the same folder, which is the default when both are omitted: writes a `.bak.mp4` backup, then removes the original after a successful crop. A separate target folder replaces same-named files. |
+| [Create-FullSubtitle.ps1](Create-FullSubtitle.md) | Overwrites the `-Output` subtitle file without a prompt. |
+| [Create-ShortClip.ps1](Create-ShortClip.md) | Overwrites the output video. With the default `-Images` and without `-Render`, clears the `Frames` folder. With explicit `-Images`, deletes only matching frames. Removes its temporary folders, and the `Frames` folder unless `-Keep` is given. |
+| [Get-FramesRange.ps1](Get-FramesRange.md) | Overwrites existing PNG frames with the same name (ffmpeg `-y`). |
+| [Get-LastFrame.ps1](Get-LastFrame.md) | Overwrites the output PNG (ffmpeg `-y`). [Get-Frame.ps1](Get-Frame.md) uses it. |
+| [Get-VideoAudio.ps1](Get-VideoAudio.md) | Overwrites the output audio file. |
+| [Stitch-InBetween.ps1](Stitch-InBetween.md) | Deletes an existing `-Video` output before generating. Deletes everything inside an existing `-TempDir`. Deletes intermediate PNG frames. |
+
+Run `-WhatIf` first on every script in this table, and check the output paths before running it for real.
+

+
+## Common Workflows
+
+**Clip a frame range** (count frames, preview, then run):
+
+```powershell
+pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Get-FramesCount.ps1 -Video P01.mp4
+pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Create-Clip.ps1 -Video P01.mp4 -Frames "100-200" -WhatIf
+pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Create-Clip.ps1 -Video P01.mp4 -Frames "100-200"
+```
+
+**Split a video into scenes** (list first, then create clips):
+
+```powershell
+pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Create-Scenes.ps1 -Video P01.mp4 -Scene 0.3 -List
+pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Create-Scenes.ps1 -Video P01.mp4 -Scene 0.3 -WhatIf
+pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Create-Scenes.ps1 -Video P01.mp4 -Scene 0.3
+```
+
+**Extract the last frame to a named PNG:**
+
+```powershell
+pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Get-LastFrame.ps1 -Video P01.mp4 -Image last.png
+```
+
+**Upscale an image** (needs `UPSCAYL_HOME`, `NCNN_GPU_ID` and the model files):
+
+```powershell
+pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Clone-Image.ps1 -Source small.jpg -Target big_4k.png -Upscale 4 -Size 4K
+```
+
+**Interpolate between two images with RIFE:**
+
+```powershell
+pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Stitch-InBetween.ps1 -First frame1.png -Last frame2.png -Frames 30 -Video output.mp4 -FPS 24 -WhatIf
+pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Stitch-InBetween.ps1 -First frame1.png -Last frame2.png -Frames 30 -Video output.mp4 -FPS 24
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **"Video file not found"**: check the path. Use an absolute path if relative paths fail. See [index.md](index.md).
+- **"ffmpeg failed" or "ffprobe failed"**: run `ffmpeg -version` and `ffprobe -version`. Check that the file is not corrupt and that the disk has space. See [index.md](index.md).
+- **"Frame index out of range"**: run [Get-FramesCount.ps1](Get-FramesCount.md). Indices are 0-based.
+- **`-Image` rejected by Get-Frame**: `-Image` is not a [Get-Frame.ps1](Get-Frame.md) parameter. Use [Get-LastFrame.ps1](Get-LastFrame.md) for custom names.
+- **Missing `RIFE_HOME`, `UPSCAYL_HOME` or `NCNN_GPU_ID`**: set the persistent variable as described above. Then start a new shell.
+- **Upscale fails with missing models**: the model files `<Model>.bin` and `<Model>.param` must be in `%UPSCAYL_HOME%\models`. See [Clone-Image.md](Clone-Image.md) and [Upscalers.md](Upscalers.md).
