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

Creating a Commercial Plugin for Final Cut Pro X w

https://www.provideocoalition.com/creating-a-comme...

This week on MacBreak Studio, I follow up from last week’s episode, in which I demonstrated how to build an animated text bubble in Motion with a couple of shapes and behaviors (but without keyframes!) for publishing to Final Cut Pro X. While it may seem as if that animation was complete, the process of [...]Read More...

Combining Mixing and Editing Makes Sense

April 30, 2020, 01:42 PM

Let’s get this out of the way: Great films tell stories with sound, but you’d never know it for the kind of credit accorded to the mixers and editors who create it. While cinematographers like “Roger” and “Chivo” have become rock-star mononymous with their images that people can see, aural peers like Gary Rydstrom, Ai-Ling Lee, Julian Slater, Skip Lievsay and Ren Klyce lack the same kind of recognition — even as their work plays a role that’s as great, if not greater.

While FuseFX visual effects supervisor Marshall Krasser was working on Upload, the Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation) comedy that just started streaming on Amazon Prime Video, he tackled an issue with a particular VFX scene and its place within the series, which is set in a future where people can be ‘uploaded’ to a digital afterlife.

Blackmagic answers 5 key questions re: Teranex Min

April 30, 2020, 01:41 PM

https://www.provideocoalition.com/blackmagic-answe...

Blackmagic’s Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR is now shipping and —fortunately— it includes two key functions I had suggested a year ago at NAB 2019. The new Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR accepts an SDI and delivers it to a monitor with DisplayPort input (including the Apple Pro Display XDR I’ve covered before). The Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI HDR does the same with an HDMI monitor or even a consumer TV set. Ahead I’ll share the five questions I asked, Blackmagic’s respon...

Remote Editing, Part 4

April 29, 2020, 07:26 PM

https://www.hdvideopro.com/blog/remote-editing-par...

I wrote about getting the right connections for remote editing. I talked about encoding so I could stream my session live. Last time, I examined the whole concept of latency—how delayed the stream would be when it arrived at a client’s location.

NAB-AT-HOME 2020: Hedge and Postlab

April 29, 2020, 01:03 PM

https://www.provideocoalition.com/_nab-at-home-hed...

One thing I love about NAB is walking the lower depths of the South Hall and finding those small vendors and post-production companies that can’t afford the big booth. They may be just a one or two-man/woman shop or they might be a few folks renting a tiny office or some shared space. They pool their money together and make the not-small financial investment in having a booth at NAB.

How one studio animated its CG character - fast -

During this coronavirus crisis, many animation and visual effects studios are being called upon to work in different ways. That might mean operating remotely, or delivering different kinds of content, or doing all this with different methods.
