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

I recently opened up a project that, just the day before, had played fine. Suddenly, there were constant dropped frames. I was playing the same footage off the same drive- what could be wrong? Luckily, there's a bit of preventative troubleshooting I do to make troubleshooting a bit easier when things go wrong.

Digital Film Tools' volumetric lighting effect plug-in Rays, formerly only available for Photoshop, Lightroom and Aperture, now works with the major nonlinear editing applications from Adobe, Avid and Apple, including Final Cut Pro X. Other popular volumetric effects plug-ins, like Red Giant's Trapcode Lux 1.2, work only in After Effects.

It's been a little more than six months since Apple surprised the PC industry by pushing Thunderbolt technology out into the world — even though there were no peripherals in existence using the 10 Gbps connection, Apple was supremely confident that, once they built the jack into computers, peripheral-makers would figure out things to fill...

Compressor isn't used to compress a clip. Just like Share, Compressor is used to determine the compression settings for a clip, then it hands the file over to another program to compress the file.

Rays, you either love them or hate them, but used right they can add a lot of impact or subtle realism. Digital Film Tools have upgraded their Rays plugin to work with Final Cut Pro X.

(In French) This weekend I took the time to Attend online training company on FCPX Elephorm, a French DVD and online training courses established in Savoie.

The craft of video/film/whatever you want to call it is a skill. The operation of a non-linear editing system is one thing but what about the craft? How do you learn what makes a good edit and what doesn't? I don't know if I have the answers but I've cut many projects, with about 65-70 percent destined for broadcast.
