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

AE Project Diary: 7) Globe animation

It might not be obvious, but this simple globe animation was influenced by a Hollywood blockbuster. I’m happy to admit that there’s nothing spectacular about it, and that globe animations in After Effects aren’t new- the guidelines for selling After Effects templates on VideoHive specifically say not to submit globe animations because there are so many already out there.

How To Sharpen Footage In Premiere Pro

September 3, 2018, 04:12 PM

https://motionarray.com/tutorials/premiere-pro-tut...

In this tutorial we explore how to properly sharpen your footage within Premiere Pro using the Unsharp Mask tool. This tool helps to isolate the already harsh edges of an image and prioritize those instead of sharpening the whole picture. This can help to make the sharpening process look more realistic and will prevent noise from being made worse in your shot. We hope you like this tutorial, and if you do, we've always got plenty more over at www.motionarray.com
