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

Why Should You Care About 24p?

The Canon 5D MKII 24p update was just announced, and people are flipping out. Now, many people have been using the 5D for video at 30fps (and conforming it to 29.97), and others have been using Twixtor (check the comments) and other tools to conform it to 24p.

Changes to a Cut AFTER Online!

So, that project that I took from FCP and converted to Avid, you know, this, this and this one? Well, after sending off three of five masters, we got notes back. Not QC (quality check) notes like one would expect, but some more online notes like "blur this more, blur that...and blur that," and "the graphics are the old ones, please replace with the new ones, link below, and the font needs to change as well."

Here is the performance and story edit of NINA. There is no color correction and still some temp camera audio, and obviously, no sound design or mixing. That phase is next.

Final Cutters Site

If you were looking for a single web destination that is a clearing house for all things Final Cut Pro then FinalCutters has to be that destination. It’s attempting to do what seems like the near impossible and pull together news, blog posts, photos, Twitter tweets, user reviews and ratings and build a community right there at the site.

Here’s a great piece of editor porn that popped up on Twitter from Alan Dennison. Watch only if you’re an editor. (And of age) Otherwise you probably won’t care.

Using Text, Titles and Graphics

February 28, 2010, 11:26 AM

Both Avid and Final Cut have fine basic text generators that allow you to do some pretty cool and simple text work. I’m not talking about the Marquee tool in Avid or LiveType in Final Cut. I’m just talking about the basic text tool that comes with the programs. I think it’s important to learn these tools first.

Easy Canon 5D Post Round II

RED’s Scarlet appears to be just around the corner and both Sony and Panasonic seem to be responding to the challenge of the upstart photo manufacturers. No matter what acronym you use – DSMC, HD-DSLR, HDSLR – these hybrid HD video / still photo cameras have grabbed everyone’s attention. 2010 may indeed be the year that hybrid digital SLR cameras hit their stride.

Gary ALlan 5D Multicam Cut

Late last year I edited a multi-camera concert for country artist Gary Allan. It was shot at the House of Blues in Chicago on Canon 5Ds. The 5Ds gave us some really great images that’s kind of unusual in a live show.

FCP Achilles Heel

When you talk about media management in Final Cut Pro it’s often not a big issue to many as you digitize a few tapes or import some P2 media, add graphics, music and you’re done. FCP’s bad media management never rears its ugly head. But when you start working with many different clips across a lot of hard drives then the frustration...
