 * Software export control
  - May need to restrict distribution of ChimeraX to Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, certain regions of Ukraine.
+ - UCSF export control office may look at ChimeraX. Interested in encryption technology.
+ - Don't have a date when this will happen.
 
+* Restoring historical videos
+ - Scooter worked on Cronkite_Singing_Genes.mov.
+ - Tried Adobe Premiere.  Can apply filters to specific segments (e.g. switch to black and white in b/w segments)
+ - Then tried Topaz AI.  Processes whole video as one chunk.  Used deinterlace and Proteus algorithms.
+ - Did second Topaz pass of Theia and NixXL filters.
+ - Topaz did not do much better than Premiere.
+ - Topaz Pro has Starlight algorithm that might do better, $700.
