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

Audition Deep Dive: Auto-Ducking music

One of the most time-consuming tasks that any editor faces is ensuring the different elements of their project blend well and get out of the way of everything else.  The art of mixing, of adjusting the volume of background music so that dialogue or sound effects are clear and audible, is often what separates the professional-sounding projects from amateurs.  Audition already offers several methods to suit individual tastes and styles: manually adjusting clip volume keyframes, riding a volu...

What’s the Difference Between Adobe CC 2018 vs.

October 30, 2017, 01:27 PM

http://prodesigntools.com/whats-new-features-adobe...

One of the most common upgrade questions we see out there is asking what’s new, what’s different, what’s better, what’s changed between Adobe’s just-launched CC 2018 release and the previous CC 2017, CC 2015.5, CC 2015, CC 2014, CC 2013, or 2012’s Creative Suite 6? Or more fundamentally, what are the key new features and advancements in CC 2018 versus prior versions?

Latest Avid Release dropped today

https://www.provideocoalition.com/Avid-8.9.3-New-F...

I used to know everything about Media Composer. I had taken RTFM to heart and had literally read every page of every document (editing, effects, workflow, color grading) and even tech checked much of it. Avid even sent me a “Junior Tech Pubs Sheriff’s Badge.” (So somebody with a sense of humor must have been sick of the many corrections I sent in.)

Let's Edit with MC - What's New in 8.9.3 by Kevin

October 30, 2017, 01:27 PM

https://www.provideocoalition.com/lets-edit-media-...

These updates are always a bit of a treat. What I mean by that is that normally when a point point update comes out, it’s normally bug fixes only. Well, this point point version release of Media Composer actually has some pretty cool new features in it, some of which are simple work flow enhancements (moving clips up and down tracks), and some are essential work flow updates (Relinking across Frame Rates). All of this, plus support for 10.13, High Sierra, makes this an update that Media Compos...
