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

Dance videos can be everything from fun and upbeat, to gentle and pulling on the heartstrings. Whatever your preferred dance style, nail your video by trying some specially made templates.

We’ve talked about motion smoothing before. Technically Tom Cruise has, and we talked about that in turn, but either way the upshot is that it is deeply unpopular with filmmakers. It’s great for high speed action such as sports, not so much for anything that wants to look like it was shot at 24 frames per second. And, perhaps more importantly, it is something of a tricky beast to get rid of.

The HBO comedy follows the titular hitman as he tries to leave behind a life of crime to pursue Hollywood dreams. But Barry, played by showrunner Bill Hader, can’t escape his handler Fuches (Stephen Root) or the Chechen crime family run by hapless NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan), even as he tries to focus on his relationships with girlfriend Sally (Sarah Goldberg) and acting teacher Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler).

Media can get expensive. Especially when you're using larger and larger media files, requiring more storage. And when a card goes bad, it does so at the worst of times. But what if you could give your media cards a check-up and know when it's time to replace them? That's the idea behind ProGrade's New Refresh Pro Software. But there is a catch.

I spent a quarter of a century editing on Avid and several years on Premiere Pro, so why did I decide to ditch them both and go with Final Cut Pro X? I'll tell ya.

In many videos, text is the only on-screen design element you'll use. That means your titles will have a big impact on how people perceive your work. While Final Cut Pro features some great ready-to-use text options to get your videos going, templates made by the talented authors on Envato Elements can elevate your work easily and quickly.

The recent news that the patent dispute over LTO-8 has been resolved is a welcome one. But the time it has taken to sort out might mean that it is too little, too late.
