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 am not an After Effects whiz, more like an AE hack, but I dream of being one someday, so I excitedly look at all the cool After Effects goodies that come along. Twitter went wild today talking about a new version of BG Renderer. It’s a script that seems to do just what the name implies, render in the background. I quote: "BG Renderer is a script that allows you to render your Render Queue items in the background while you can continue working in After Effects...

Lloyd Alvarez is a top-notch After Effects user who has also developed a handful of very useful scripts for the program. One of his most popular is BG Renderer, which launches instances of After Effects in the background to render compositions while you continue to work in the foreground. Lloyd just announced BG Renderer 2.0 with After Effects CS5 compatibility, plus a whole host of new features.

The Interplay Window is a great tool to access content easily and efficiently in an Interplay environment. Many of you may use it in your daily edits to check-in and check-out items from your database, but do you actually personalize it like you do your keyboard or timeline? If not you should. As you will see below, the Interplay Window has many options you probably aren’t aware of.

It took awhile (and a couple of Resolve articles here on PVC) but I finally finished my full DaVinci Resolve for Mac article that went online today over at Studio Daily. It’s quite lengthy but as I was working out my ideas and thoughts on the application I began to realize just how deep an application Resolve for Mac really is.

It's official: the iOS version of VLC has been yanked from the App Store. Though Apple didn't offer any reasons for its removal, the media player is believed to have been pulled thanks to a licensing dispute that started more than two months ago. The iOS version of VLC was not developed by VideoLAN, the nonprofit association that manages the project. Instead, it was created by a company named Applidium, which was able to get VideoLAN's blessing to develop and distribute the app for free.

As a long-time member of the creative community in Hollywood, I’ve been witness to both rich and lean times of work and employment. Economic cycles and labor disputes have hardened most of us to the occasional period of slow, or even no work, but I think it’s fair to say that most of us have NEVER seen anything like the economic situation of the last few years.

The day before the show floor at NAB 2010 was scheduled to open, word broke Blackmagic Design was going to be introducing an affordable version of DaVinci Resolve for the Macintosh. That news spread like wildfire through all the electronic communication methods we use today. What was most astounding to everyone was the price: this well-known and regarded color-grading tool, once offered for six figures, was going to be available for a thousand bucks.
