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

One of the fun benefits to creating titles in FCP X is that so many of them are already created. In the current (10.4.3) version of Final Cut there are seemingly hundreds to choose from, with a vibrant 3rd-party community creating hundreds more.

Sometimes, in spite of all your planning, an unexpected “surprise” ruins an otherwise perfectly great shot. In these situations, we need to find a way to take out the “garbage.” Let me show you several ways to do this in Final Cut Pro X. (This technique is also called using a “garbage mask.”)

If you are a video editor but not a an SFX specialist, it can be time consuming to have to run trip out to a package like After Effects to make what should be fairly minor modifications to the footage. With this in mind CoreMelt has just released its PaintX plugin for FCP X.

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

In our previous lesson of our look at learning BlackMagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve, we talked about Trim Edit mode, and how you can now trim clips in both destructive, and non-destructive ways. Now, I want to keep the idea of Trim Edit Mode (TEM) going, and talk about two other fantastic features you have access to when in TEM, and that is slipping and sliding, and what the difference is between the two concepts. Let’s get into it!
