To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

Why You Should Keep Your Discarded Footage

I’m sure you’re familiar with the scene of a writer penning his next novel, only to feel his words aren’t telling the story he wants so he scrunches the page into a ball and throws it across the room. A similar scene exists for digital filmmakers, but instead, it involves dragging poorly shot footage to recycle bin.

Pro Tools Wait For Note - The MIDI Record Feature

The wait for note button on the transport bar in Pro Tools is one of those things I sometimes forget about. if, like me, you record audio far more than you record MIDI it is easy to treat the two as the same but MIDI is not the same as audio and there are more ways to start a solo recording than setting up preroll or a count off and hurrying to your keyboard controller.

FilmConvert – Color Grading and Film Look Tools

If you’re looking for an affordable and easy way to get a terrific film look, from film stock to color and grain, FilmConvert is an ideal plug-in every editor should consider purchasing (and it supports quite a few popular NLEs). You simply drop the filter onto your footage, select your camera profile, how it was filmed, the film stock you’d like, and it’ll look great. But you can do some serious color grading in the Camera Controls, and still end up with a terrific film look for your proj...
