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

Raw video is almost commonplace nowadays. You can literally start shooting raw with cameras that only cost a couple thousand dollars and save it to off-the-shelf media. Plenty of other cameras can output raw over standard HDMI connections. Plus, compressed options are growing which means that it doesn’t even have as many major disadvantages versus more conventional formats.

No matter what computer or NLE you have, using proxies will speed up the editing. It is a common technique for professional workflows, especially when working with heavier media, like raw or high frame rate shots, that are incredibly taxing on your computer. Even if you can handle playback, once you start throwing on some grades or effects you may notice some slowdowns. Proxy files can help.

What about free? Working with plug-ins is fun, but it gets complex when you want to be consistent across multiple hosts. The built-in effects can be quite good and if you only ever work in Media Composer, Resolve, Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro and are happy with what’s included, then nothing more is needed. […]

By Brady Betzel Adobe Creative Cloud July 2021 has a few very intriguing updates. Before I jump into what is updated in Premiere, let’s touch on the After Effects beta.
