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

Perfectionist. Demanding. Hard to work with. David Fincher is a man who hates his own brand but is secure in his own reputation. Of course, it’s a little bit easy when that reputation includes stunning movies and a mind that can operate at an auteur speed in the high-occupancy Hollywood studio lane.

resolution 72, Avid Pan & Zoom

I have been seeing video in the Avid as 72 pixels per inch (Bitmap not vector talking here)? If this Video was printed, the 72 is basically not 200, where if the graphic had 200 pixels per inch, then there would be rounder shapes of more detail included, while 72 has less detail.

After Effects Hidden Gems Weekly: Preserve Frame R

September 21, 2015, 04:51 PM

http://www.provideocoalition.com/after-effects-hid...

After Effects is a very logical program if you know it works underneath the hood, and a baffling mystery if you don’t. One example of this is the subject of frame rates: Normally, the last comp in a chain determines what frame rate will be used by all the precomps, and this can be overridden again the Render Settings. But what if you really, really need to lock down a precomp’s frame rate, because you’re creating stop motion, have a mask tracked to every frame of footage, etc.? The sec...
