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

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Plagiarism

If you follow my blog, you probably know that I’m working with Red Giant Software these days. That was a choice I didn’t even have to think hard about. The opportunity to work with guys like Peder Norrby and Stu Maschwitz, the creative geniuses behind Trapcode and Magic Bullet respectively, was just too good to ignore. Here are two people who truly understand us (the users), and who spend a ginormous amount of time and energy working to bring us something amazing and original and often...

3D in Vegas Pro 10

Can you manipulate the 3D positioning of video tracks in 3D space? You can do this in a couple of different ways in Vegas Pro 10. First, you can use the 3D track and parent compositing tools that have been included in Vegas Pro for several versions. These tools enable you to create 3D perspective and manipulate tracks on three-dimensional planes.

Useful Tools for Editors: Clip Info Titler

Here’s a simple little tool for Final Cut Pro from the folks over at Assisted Editing. Like many of their tools, Clip Info Titler is based on FCP’s ability to export and import XML files. It takes an XML of a bin full of clips and creates a sequence that includes a text overlay, reflecting data about those sequences, applied above each clip. At $99 it might sound expensive, since you could enter the data manually and create your own text overlay by hand.

One way to spruce up your editing application is through various plug-ins for effects filters, transitions and generators. Your options range from single-purpose filters, like Magic Bullet Colorista II and Digital Anarchy Beauty Box, to full suites, like Boris Continuum Complete or GenArts Sapphire. Such filters enhance the power of your favorite editing or compositing tool by connecting through an API...

These green lights control more than audio and video. Did you know that the visibility lights also have an effect on the behavior of the up/down arrow keys?

There’s more than one way to manipulate audio in Media Composer (no surprise there, there’s more than one way to do pretty much anything in MC). So this week, we’ll explore Automation Gain, more often referred to as Audio Keyframes. You’ll learn how to use this feature as well as what its benefits (and disadvantages) are compared to regular audio editing.

What's the big deal about FCP?

A little birdie asked me quite recently. "Really, what is the big deal about FCP?" Especially now, with Avid growing in leaps with every new release. So I pondered... What really is the big deal with FCP? Is there even a big deal in FCP? Sure, here is a bullet point list of the important features that make FCP score over Avid.

FCP - Back to Square One

Are you one of those editors who constantly rearranges their window layout while editing? I certainly do. I’m forever changing the size of the Viewer and Browser. Do you yearn for a quick way to resize your windows back into a layout that makes sense?
