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

Traditionally, VFX was developed with an intent to save production costs and resources by shooting scenes that could not be shot in real locations due to several constraints or executing stunts that could endanger lives of the artists. With time, VFX has transformed into a mammoth monster that drives many of our movies and has re-defined the quintessential movie watching experience.

Compose the Embedded Metadata - Reel Name for Reso

May 13, 2016, 05:05 AM

https://blogs.creativecow.net/blog/14167/compose-t...

Avid Media Composer when outputting the AAF takes the populated metadata in the "Tape" column and uses this for the "Reel Name" at the Edit Index Events in Resolve. This might be a bit tricky to observe, Resolve uses Dynamic "Reel Names" with linked media clips. Dynamic Reel Names means, if the Media Pool clips are reconformed (actively linked, seeing video in the Resolve Timeline) in the Edit Index Events, then updating the "Reel Name" for the the clip in the Media Pool should ripple to the "Re...
