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

Resolve Lite the Color Correction Handbook

I try to refrain from pimping my book too much here, but now that DaVinci Lite has become freely available to colorists and post professionals one and all, I thought the time was ripe to point out that DaVinci Resolve Lite has finally caught up with the Color Correction Handbook's primary teaching interface.

The whole editing community is buzzing since Apple released their 'revolutionary' Final Cut Pro X. Some have blogged about it, others have just given it a bad rating. But FCP.co pointed out one woman who made a video showing her frustration. I'm assuming this was planned out...

One important, but usually overlooked process of editing is color grading. It allows the editor to both fix a poorly exposed or incorrectly white balanced shot and create a tone for the film. Sadly, most beginner video editors don't know about these great tools. However, Denver Riddle from ColorGradingCentral.com has made it easier by producing ...
