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

Effects and Titling

In this lesson, Kevin P McAuliffe shows you Media Composer's "Go To" effect, the 3D Warp, and how easy it is to create basic titles for your sequence. Then, to wrap it all up, he shows a great and often overlooked feature of the basic title tool, that will have you staying in your NLE to do most of your titling effects.

Event Manager X Review

One bad feature of Final Cut Pro X, out of many, is that you cannot hide events. That's where Event Manager X comes in! The idea that you cannot hide certain events can be an issue, especially if you are working with clients. Say your clients are Pepsi and Coke. You don't want Coke to...

Groups are a set of clips that are linked together and the different camera angles are simultaneously viewed in a split-screen view. A multigroup are a set of groups that are linked together and the different camera angles are simultaneously viewed in a split-screen view. Grouping is appropriate for situations when 2 or more cameras...

There are questions that I have been asked that are answered more appropriately in a Q and A format versus an entire blog post. If you have a question that you would like for me to try to answer (I don't know everything so you might stump me here and there) send me an email...

FCPX, Is It Prosumer Or Not?

In this episode of "The Terence & Philip Show" Philip and I consider the concepts of editing introduced with Final Cut Pro X, and who it might be made for. Is it designed for "pros" or dilettantes? One thing is for sure, Philip doesn't like me using the word "Prosumer"!

After Effects Script of the Week: Immigration

August 11, 2011, 01:20 PM

http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/mchristians...

Ask any veteran After Effects artist who uses scripts which ones should really be built right into the application and among the top handful for most artists will be Immigration. It provides an interface to work with image sequences, something that the file system (Finder or Windows Explorer) and Adobe applications which rely on it (all of them) doesn’t do well.

20+ Rogue Plugins and Tools for FCPX

August 11, 2011, 01:12 PM

http://www.thedvshow.com/20-rogue-plugins-for-fina...

Tony asks: With previous versions of Final Cut Pro there were tons of plugins and tools to enhance the software. Where did they all go? With Final Cut Pro X it seems like you just purchase and download with no plugin support. What gives? Any resources or a tool that can make the transition to what I payed thousands of dollars for?

The 2 Dollar FCPX Manual We All Should Have

August 11, 2011, 01:10 PM

http://www.studiodaily.com/blog/?p=7186

When it comes to training for Final Cut Pro X, you can find material that runs from a few minutes for free up to hours of material for hundreds of dollars. But when it comes to the user manual for FCPX, we have been limited to Apple's rather sparse help menu or the official online version.

Coming Soon to After Effects?

Adobe isn't saying when it will be an official feature, but the above technology demo — given by Adobe's director of video product development Bill Roberts off the SIGGRAPH show floor to press and by Steve Forde in the NVIDIA booth (below) — shows how NVIDIA's OptiX ray-tracing engine powers potential new tools to easily edit extruded texts and other shapes inside an After Effects comp.
