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

"Filmmaking is not for the faint-hearted," asserts South African-born film editor Margaret Sixel. The mother of two boys, Buda (19), and Tige (15), is one of a growing number of women editing the male domain of action films. Mad Max: Fury Road is the fourth in the franchise that began back in 1979, and made Mel Gibson a star. But this isn't your father's Mad Max...

Editors: Do you prefer more shorter clips or less
May 19, 2015, 04:51 AM
http://provideocoalition.com/editors-do-you-prefer...
I was recently working on an edit that used footage captured by two shooters covering a weekend event. The shooters had two different shooting styles. One chose to mainly keep the camera rolling when composing images and finding different shots so there were long clips with a lot of repositioning of the framing and finding focus. The other would, for the most part, stop rolling after a shot choosing to get focus and composition before rolling. That meant the latter shooter’s folder was ful...

Review: Telestream’s Switch v1.5

A pro media and metadata inspector that does some transcoding as well By Brady Betzel If you’ve ever been in a machine room, or lucky enough to have been employed as an assistant editor, you’ve encountered your fair share of media file formats, from MTS files to Avid MXF files that don’t play nicely with many video player/transcoder apps. Maybe you had Roxio’s Toast to play or transcode your MTS files, VLC player, MPEG Streamclip or one of the other few playback apps. It’s abou...
After Effects Hidden Gems: Set First Vertex
May 18, 2015, 04:21 PM
http://www.provideocoalition.com/after-effects-hid...
A common trick is to use the Stroke effect to wipe on a line along a mask path. You can do the same using the Trim Paths operator for a shape layer. But, how can you control where that path starts and ends? The secret is understanding the First Vertex Point. If you drew a mask or shape path by hand, this is where you first clicked with the Pen tool. But if the path was created automatically - say, by converting a text layer into outlines - this first point is determined by the software, not you.
