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

Configuring an iMac for video editing

December 7, 2012, 07:54 AM

I bought a new 27-inch iMac when they went on sale Friday, specifically for video editing. And, because I've had a lot of requests recently, I wanted to tell you what I bought and why.

I just spent some time going through all of the feature requests that we’ve received over the past year. This post consists of two parts: first, some notes about the feature requests from last year that we were able to incorporate into After Effects CS6 (including in some recent updates); second, a list of the top feature requests for this year, with some notes about each.

Western Digital is mightily proud of its new 4TB hard drives, so it shouldn't be a surprise to see them winding up in the company's range of external storage products.

On Editing and Cooking

December 6, 2012, 11:53 AM

http://blogs.indiewire.com/womenandhollywood/guest...

The first time I told some friends that I was working on a film about a man in an iron lung trying to lose his virginity, I got looks that were somewhere between incredulity and pity. I could tell they thought that watching it would be more like politically correct homework than a movie anyone would want to see. But Ben Lewin's script, The Sessions, was far from that. It was a compassionate, humorous story about a disabled man's journey to adulthood that was surprisingly universal.

Editing of the Crash Sequence in Flight

December 5, 2012, 07:31 PM

Love or hate Flight, I don't think there will be many out there that didn't at the very least enjoy the first 30 minutes or so and weren't jolted to attention with the film's dramatic crash sequence. Today the New York Times is taking a closer look at the editing of the sequence, which includes the above image, which previews a look at what six minutes of the film looks like in the AVID editing system. Give the picture a click for a much larger and detailed version.

Sun News Network Relies on Avid Technology

December 5, 2012, 12:41 PM

http://www.tvtechnology.com/equipment/0082/sun-new...

TORONTO— Sun News Network provides approximately 96 hours of original content per week, ranging from breaking news to talk. The launch of Sun News last year presented some very demanding live production requirements. Exemplary operation with earlier Avid systems here—including Unity, NewsCutter, Media Manger, ControlAir and AirSpace—gave us the confidence to choose Avid to achieve our additional goals.

How to apply special effects in FCPX

December 5, 2012, 07:27 AM

Using the right special effect can make your video match your creative vision. Whether it's simply tinting a shot to fit a mood, creating an old-fashioned film look, or turning a video clip into an abstract animated background, the right video effect is just a click away.
