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

Edit Blackmagic/Magic Lantern RAW in Premiere

September 1, 2013, 05:52 AM

http://nofilmschool.com/2013/08/edit-blackmagic-ma...

I’ve been talking a lot about offline/online workflows lately — how they have, in principle, been used for ages, and still play today, tape or no tape. Such a post production process allows less fortunate folks (such as myself) to work with footage like Blackmagic Camera CinemaDNG and Magic Lantern RAW on hard-pressed machines.

A Q and A with Adobe about Adobe Anywhere

August 31, 2013, 05:49 AM

http://provideocoalition.com/ssimmons/story/a-q-an...

When Adobe Anywhere was announced it was a happy surprise to most everyone in post-production. “Real-time collaboration” between editors anywhere in the world meant that the often pesky limitation of physical location could be a thing of the past.

Multi-Camera Editing in Final Cut Pro X

August 30, 2013, 05:22 PM

http://finalcutbasix.com/2013/08/30/multi-cam-in-f...

Multi-camera editing allows you to record an event with multiple cameras and edit it as if you’re switching between those cameras on a live broadcast. All of the major non-linear editing applications have their own versions of multi-cam editing, including Final Cut Pro X. But FCPX makes it much easier to sync and edit multi-camera […]
