+<#
+.SYNOPSIS
+    Detects scenes in a video file with ffmpeg and extracts each scene as a separate video clip file.
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Analyzes the input video with ffmpeg scene-change detection, using the -Scene threshold, and computes
+    the first and last frame (0-based) of each detected scene. Each scene is then extracted by calling
+    Create-Clip.ps1 (located in the same directory as this script) with the scene frame range, which in
+    turn calls Clone-Video.ps1.
+
+    Clip files are always saved in the same directory as the input video. The clip filename is the input
+    video filename plus the scene suffix, with the scene number starting at 1
+    (ex: P01.mp4 scene 1 becomes P01-Scene-01.mp4). For sources carrying a .skip marker, the marker stays
+    last, as handled by Create-Clip.ps1 (ex: P01.skip.mp4 becomes P01-Scene-01.skip.mp4).
+
+    Encoding is performed by Clone-Video.ps1: by default each clip keeps the resolution, frame rate and
+    compression characteristics of the input video, unless overridden with extra parameters (ex: -Size,
+    -FPS, -CRF) forwarded to Create-Clip.ps1.
+
+    The list of scenes (index, start frame, end frame, frame count, start time, end time) is always displayed.
+    If no scene change is detected, the whole video is treated as a single scene.
+
+    Unless -List is specified, existing scene clip files from a previous run (same directory, same source
+    name, same suffix pattern and same extension) are deleted before the new clips are created. Existing
+    files are always replaced.
+
+    Scene detection and the scene list are read-only: they always run, including with -List and -WhatIf.
+    Only the deletion and the creation of files are subject to -WhatIf and -Confirm. Both switches are
+    also forwarded to Create-Clip.ps1.
+.PARAMETER Video
+    Path to the input video file. Can be absolute or relative to current directory. If the path has no
+    extension, .mp4, .webm and .mkv are tried in turn.
+.PARAMETER Scene
+    Threshold value between 0 and 1.0 to determine scene changes. Lower values mean more sensitive
+    detection (more scenes). Default is 0.3.
+.PARAMETER Suffix
+    Scene suffix to use for the output video clip files. Must contain a printf-style number placeholder
+    such as %02d, which is replaced by the scene number starting at 1. By default, "-Scene-%02d" is used.
+.PARAMETER List
+    Only displays the list of scenes. No video clip file is created and no existing file is deleted.
+.PARAMETER ExtraArgs
+    Additional parameters passed as-is to Create-Clip.ps1 and from there to Clone-Video.ps1
+    (ex: -Size 720p -NoAudio -CRF 18 -LTX). The parameters -Video, -Frames, -Suffix and -Target are
+    managed by this script and must not be repeated.
+.EXAMPLE
+    .\Create-Scenes.ps1 -Video P01.mp4 -Scene 0.4 -List
+    Lists the scenes detected in P01.mp4 without creating or deleting any file.
+.EXAMPLE
+    .\Create-Scenes.ps1 -Video P01 -Scene 0.3 -Size 720p -NoAudio
+    Creates P01-Scene-01.mp4, P01-Scene-02.mp4, ... scaled to 720p and without audio.
+.EXAMPLE
+    .\Create-Scenes.ps1 -Video P01.mp4 -Suffix "-Shot-%03d" -WhatIf
+    Shows which files would be deleted and created, without changing anything.
