	En réponse à @bottidavid Then just hit "Generate Fill Layer" and After Effects automatically fills in the missing pixels. This took 10 minutes. Even if it's clear that the footage has been manipulated, one still wouldn't know *what* was taken out. pic.twitter.com/w3BBXu9RyL

	En réponse à @bottidavid To do this I first used the Roto Brush Tool to select the man with the gun. And then used it as a mask to cut him out. pic.twitter.com/NgWNCDk4Fh

	The new content-aware video fill for After Effects is pretty cool. But it can also be used to manipulate footage, and obscure key pieces of information. Here's a very crude example. There's something missing in this video footage. pic.twitter.com/AcrQ7Jphku

	Gen. Votel, commander of @CENTCOM, told a Senate committee today that the U.S. withdrawal from Syria will be "deliberate." To understand why leaving Syria is so complicated, look to the expanding mission of a single U.S. base: nyti.ms/2DQQWc2

	En réponse à @thereal_mo01 @CBSMiami Hi, I'm with The New York Times. May we use your photos here in a video we're producing with credit to you? Our video would appear on our website, and other platforms as detailed here: nytimes.com/video/new-york… If that's OK please let me know. Thank you.

	The @JKhashoggi killing suspect we ID'd was in several U.S. locations: a hurricane-hit Houston suburb, outside M.I.T. and in a meeting with the U.N. secretary general. The team: @malachybrowne @NYTBen @ddknyt @babimarcolini @trbrtc @ckoettl @bianelkhatib nytimes.com/2018/10/16/wor…

	We see plenty of footage of bombs being dropped, or missiles being launched. But what's it like to be near the point of impact? nyti.ms/2GTHQhB

	En réponse à @bottidavid 7/7 War brings isolation in many forms: physical and mental. Some are widely chronicled. But there's stories we’ll never know of those killed alone; separated from their units in deserts, mountains and jungles. That’s what’s different about Niger. We witness this final solitude.

	En réponse à @bottidavid 6/7 From the piece: “Sgt Wright and Sgt Johnson begin sprinting flat out. The militants are almost on top of them…[Johnson] is hit and goes down...Sgt Wright stops running, turns and fires at the militants from behind a bush...But there’s only so much one soldier can do.”

	En réponse à @bottidavid 5/7 With each each moment there’s hard decisions to make, with fewer comrades to help make them and less time to think. Then, it seems, there is only one thing to do: run.

	En réponse à @bottidavid 4/7 We still don’t have a full picture of the ambush. But we do know that in one area, as the ambush progressed, isolation crept in: from 11 U.S. soldiers to 3, to 2, to 1. They keep fighting. One less friend, one less weapon, one less pair of eyes and ears.

	En réponse à @bottidavid 3/7 There have always been soldiers who’ve died alone in war. But we rarely know the stories of those final moments. Maybe we learn some details from a distant observer – like someone in a WWI trench hearing wounded cry out in “no man’s land.” The picture is never complete.

	En réponse à @malachybrown @Tmgneff 2/7 Colleagues @malachybrown @ckoettle @tmgneff and I charted 3 soldiers’ movements for the story’s annotated video. Their solitary final steps are heartbreaking. While in the Marines, it wasn’t weapons that made me feel safest – it was having other Marines around me that did.

	1/7 Something to keep in mind while reading the @nytimes piece on the Oct 4 Niger ambush: the story is, in part, about being alone. nyti.ms/2C4ny25
