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

Contrast is simple, right? A juxtaposition of two or more elements having markedly different features makes them stand out. What can be complicated about that? Turns out, as with all things, the comprehensive answer is much more complicated, and the devil is in the details. Coming from extensive Photoshop and … see more →

Brave talk, but given Astute Graphics’ impressive track record, maybe it’s not so crazy. Check out their new VectorScribe 2, available for download as a public beta. The tools for making smart rounded corners & extending paths look especially promising to me. [YouTube] [Via]

Have we missed the new killer feature in Mavericks

October 30, 2013, 10:37 AM

http://www.fcp.co/hardware-and-software/pro/1269-h...

The Mavericks upgrade and FCPX has worked for the majority of users, others have had a few problems. Risking a Betteridge style answer, have we overlooked a feature in Mavericks that could help all users who want fast shared storage?

Mavericks and FCPX…”My experience”

October 30, 2013, 04:37 AM

http://www.hdwarrior.co.uk/2013/10/30/mavericks-an...

Monday morning after talking to my friend John I decided to take the plunge and install Apple’s latest OSX, Mavericks. I started with my office iMac, that would at least give me an idea if Photoshop was going to be affected, sadly due to SSD drive space I had removed FCPX from this machine.

3 NLEs in 3 Months #5: John Adobe and his Freddie

An FCP7 user attempts to learn All The Software in an unrealistic timeframe. For fun. As covered in my last blog post, I’ve been getting to grips with Premiere Pro for the last few weeks. Whilst everything feels a bit alien, it’s pretty intuitive and I’ve been impressed so far. Along the way though, I’ve collected a few questions and I’ve dutifully dug up the answers in the name of education and shared them below. You’re welcome.

mLogic mBack review: Hard drive cleverly hides beh

October 29, 2013, 12:31 PM

https://www.videoguys.com/Blog/E/mLogic+mBack+revi...

The mBack by mLogic is an external hard drive that stays out of sight while providing the peace of mind that comes with a safely backed-up Mac. If you own a 2009 to current iMac or Apple display, you can the attach the mBack to the two-inch hole cut into the back of the stand.
