As for the "Invisable Ice" I'll take a picture of it. (It's harder in FMV as it's fast)
Let me save you the trouble:

Before the FMV.
Another shot from before the FMV, with Cloud holding his sword over Aerith's head.
During the FMV.

Here, also, is the script from that scene:

::Cloud holds the sword over Aerith's head, his arms trembling::

Cid
"Cloud!"

Tifa
"Stop!"

::Cloud's arms stop trembling and he steps back and pulls his sword away from Aerith::

Cloud
"Ugh... what are you making me do?"
There's no smurfing ice.
