Comment: Press releases, status updates, developer guides and feature pages do not establish the notability of the subject, which has yet to be demonstrated based on what I'm seeing here. Utopes (talk / cont) 07:56, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: With the exception of ref #5, the sources are of two kinds: the company's own website, or sources that don't even mention Left Angle Autograph. And #5 is not independent, as it is the research institute where the product's creator previously worked. We need to see significant coverage, directly of the product, in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:33, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Left Angle Autograph is a compositing, motion graphics, and application developed by Left Angle. It is used in motion graphics design video making, post-production process of film making, video games and television production. Autograph can be used for animation, 2D and 3D compositing, and among other things keying, tracking. It also offers timeline functionnalities, making it a very basic non-linear editor. It can also do audio mixing and media transcoding.[3]
History[edit]
Autograph was originally created by Alexandre Gauthier-Foichat and François Grassard[4] at Left Angle in Grenoble, Rhône-Alpes, France.
Alexandre Gauthier-Foichat is the original author and lead developer behind the Natron open-source digital compositing software, which he led until 2017, when the financial support behind the developers stopped[5]. The developer later on joined forces with François Grassard, a professional 3D computer graphics artist, known to be very active in the open-source community[6], to create a new software from scratch, which became Autograph, released in January 18, 2023[7]. They wanted to create a new software with a focus on serving the needs of motion graphic artists, rather than focusing solely on visual effects artists.[8][9]
Third-party integrations[edit]
Autograph functionality can be extended through a variety of third-party integrations, such as OpenFX plug-ins, Python scripts, Shadertoy shaders and Javascript expressions.
Python Scripts[edit]
Autograph Python Scripts can be used to access core functionality of Autograph, often developed to automate repetitive tasks, to simplify complex features, or to perform complex calculations that would otherwise take a long time to complete.[10]. They can also be used to extend the user interface with custom PySide panels and QML scripts.
