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

9In scooping a visual effects Oscar nomination, Travis Knight’s Kubo and the Two Strings became the first animated film to do so since 1993’s The Nightmare Before Christmas—a recognition due, in part, to the work of visual effects supervisor Steve Emerson, who also this month received the VES Award for Outstanding Visual Effects in an Animated Feature, alongside Knight, producer Arianne Sutner, and Brad Schiff.

If you do any compositing work in After Effects, you know how important it is to manage your project to ensure that the application continues to run at peak performance. After Effects definitely uses a lot of computer resources, and before you know it, the complexity of compositions, the number of applied effects, and the sheer volume of assets will start to slow down the software.

As a video production professional, it's important to maintain an ongoing collection of assets that you can pull from and use in various projects. Whether it's stock footage, sound effects, music, templates, or graphics, having a robust library is an invaluable resource.

For team projects to work, all of your collaborators will need access to the project assets. The easiest way to handle this is to have all of your project media available over SAN or NAS network volumes. Shared storage will still be an important part of this workflow. When you’re working in a shared environment, having centralized storage with enough bandwidth to support multiple editors, colorists, etc., is vital.

In the world of video editing, gradient feature can be compared to a magic stick. The more you practice color grading, the more it becomes clear: even a poorly recorded footage can become a masterpiece if you know the right buttons. There have been a few tutorials published on how to apply gradient in Premiere and Resolve, yet free basic tools for beginners shouldn’t stay under the radar.
