When cutting with ffmpeg you can use "frame-accurate seeking", but you may run into issues down the road (e.g. audio/video being out of sync).

Blackbird gets blocked by Defender immediately. Not sure why I'm surprised.

From one of the studies [1]:
>Patients were randomized to either open-label placebo pills presented as “placebo pills made of an inert substance, like sugar pills, that have been shown in clinical studies to produce significant improvement in IBS symptoms through mind-body self-healing processes” or no-treatment controls with the same quality of interaction with providers.
I wonder what the results would have been with a less suggestive presentation.

I always get the UI, no matter how fast I press the keys (W10 1903). This may have been different on previous versions.

You're probably referring to SetWindowLong. A 64-bit compatible version (SetWindowLongPtr) of that function is available since Windows 2000.
I'm pretty sure there's a guide on how to properly port applications to 64-bit on MSDN somewhere.
