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

Pro Tools Automation - It’s one of the areas where Pro Tools definitely has the edge over other DAWs but lots of people, particularly people using Pro Tools for music production use very little of the automation workflows available. In this premium video tutorial, Pro Tools Expert team member Julian Rodgers runs through some of his favourite automation tips and tricks, which help make automation work for you rather than getting in the way.

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.

Sound Devices has made some pretty exciting announcements about their MixPre II series of audio recorders. First things first: Sound Devices is now including the AC wall power supply with the MixPre II series. Thank you. It's no longer an optional purchase; it comes in the box. This small thing alone makes me happy. It's crushing the number of accessories you have to buy some times to get a piece of gear production-ready. But there's much more than that to sink your teeth into.

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.

An audio compressor can be a tricky thing to understand when you’re first starting out.

In an age of dizzying technological churn, it’s hard to know which emerging fringe tech is worth paying attention to. Not so with virtual production: Anyone who’s experienced it can instantly see where things are headed. So what exactly is it, and when will you—the Indie filmmaker—be able to get your hands on it?  ... The post Virtual Production: It’s the future you need to know about appeared first on ProVideo Coalition.
