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

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them introduces a whole new world of CGI creatures, new digital environments and impressive new spells to eager Harry Potter fans. It’s the best-looking film in the franchise, which launched way back in 2001, in part because it stands on the shoulders of the giant steps made for the previous eight movies. With that in mind, here’s a look at some of the best effects shots and sequences - many of them of fantastic beasts in their own right - from those previo...

When you open up video editing software for the first time, all of the buttons, levels, and options can be pretty overwhelming—so much so that it's easy to carve out a cozy little space within an NLE and only utilize a couple of basic tools that allow you to cut clips and do star wipes. However, branching out, even just a smidge, doesn't have to be an ordeal. In fact, learning how to use these 6 Final Cut Pro X effects will help you extend your technical reach as a novice editor and make your ...
