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

Avid doubles down

At NAB 2012, I had an opportunity to speak with (former) Avid CEO Gary Greenfield. When Greenfield arrived at Avid in December 2005, he found a mishmash of products like Pinnacle Studio and Softimage|XSI. I was curious to find out what his long-range plans were, particularly with regard to consumer-editing products. "We're definitely streamlining our business to focus on professional editors doing feature films, episodic television, sports and long-form documentaries," said Greenfield, implying

MC6 Lesson 69: Advanced Compositing 3

March 17, 2013, 05:25 AM

http://library.creativecow.net/mcauliffe_kevin/Avi...

In this lesson, Kevin P McAuliffe shows you how to take a green screen shot with a lot of compression, and create a great looking key right from within your MC/Symphony timeline. Most editors choose to use the RGB keyer, but after seeing this tutorial, SpectraMatte will be your new "go to" effect for all your keying needs.

Final Cut Pro X versus Premiere Pro CS6

March 16, 2013, 04:30 PM

http://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/final...

The struggle within most shops that invested in Apple's Final Cut Pro is whether to stay put a while longer, adopt Final Cut Pro X or cut the cord and move on. For many this means shifting to the Adobe Production Premium bundle - part of Creative Suite. Most of the editors and facilities in [...]

Understanding Lift, Gamma and Gain

http://www.creativeimpatience.com/understand-lift-...

In this installment of our weekly tutorials, I aim to explain the concepts of three basic controls in the Power Window filter, namely Lift, Gamma and Gain. It’s a bit longer than usual, and more theoretical, but I hope it serves well as an introduction to this topic:
