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

It’s been going on for a long time. In an April 2016 blog post I wrote of four automated editing tools already in […] The post Amplifying Editing first appeared on The present and future of post production business and technology.

A long time ago, in a brochure far, far away, we found a video recorder like the Sony AV-3400 ‘Portapak'

Replay: It is hard to imagine the impact that a cumbersome, reel-to-reel black and white video recorder could have when mobile phones record 4K video, but back in the 1970s, it was a game-changer.

Matching Microphones in Final Cut Pro

https://www.provideocoalition.com/matching-microph...

When I shoot MacBreak Studio, I use two microphones: one for the on-camera portion, and one for the user interface demo. The on-camera mic is a Sennheiser shotgun mic connected via an XLR cable directly into my Sony A7SIII through the K3M adapter.

I think something that is lost in today’s remote editing from from home and everyone edits on a laptop is the joy of a good client monitor as a central part of an edit suite. When I say good I honestly mean just the existence of an “client monitor” as a way to view your [...]Read More...
