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

Bring on the Backups in Final Cut Pro X

March 4, 2014, 09:30 AM

http://provideocoalition.com/mspencer/story/bring-...

Final Cut backups are enabled by default and they back up your work every 15 minutes (if there has been a change). Now, even though you never have to manually save your work in Final Cut since it saves every change you make automatically, these backups can save your bacon in the event of project corruption or a drive failure.

Burning Question: Mac vs Windows tutorials?

Please tell me how I can learn Mograph and Motext tools when I am using Windows 8 and most of the training is taught on Mac. I know Windows is quite different from Mac. Also, why is it that most of the CINEMA 4D tutorials use Mac instead of Windows?

The HPA Tech Retreat is an annual gathering where film and TV industry folks discuss all manner of technical and business issues.

The HPA Tech Retreat is an annual gathering where film and TV industry folks discuss all manner of technical and business issues. I’m taking notes during the sessions and posting them; it’s a very limited transcription of what’s going on, but it should at least give you the flavor of the discussions. This fourth day Read More

I came across a CBC article that was dated last year titled B.C. visual effects artists say work being sent overseas: Movie visual effects (VFX) artists working in B.C. say post-production companies are taking advantage of the province's tax credits, then subcontracting out work to China and India. The page on my viewing had 0 shares…

Pack: 25 LPX themes for 10.0.5–10.0.6

http://logicxinterfaces.wordpress.com/2014/02/26/p...

There are 4 of older ones (based on an earlier version of MAResourcesMapping.plist) with which you may (or may not) get occasional flashes in case you have the bright option with piano roll on; then just uncheck the option in LPX preferences to turn it off. I have marked these zips with orange tag. Others are marked with green.

Some of the Pro Tools community may think we’ve been quiet regarding the recent delisting of Avid from NASDAQ in the last couple of days.
