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

Automatic Duck Xsend to Motion

Xsend to Motion solves a problem that has been bugging Final Cut users since Final Cut Pro X was first released. You can’t send a sequence or timeline to Motion, create a composite and replace your original clip with the composited one. For all of its power and XML savviness, Final Cut Pro X simply doesn’t support that out of the box. The people at Automatic Duck have now succeeded at developing an app that lets you do it anyway. It’s a huge step forward, but it’s not a seamless integrat...

5 Tips To Help Media & Content Creators Reinvent T

June 14, 2016, 09:36 AM

http://www.digimediapros.com/5-tips-help-media-con...

I was asked to speak at a recent meetup about what are some of the trends in our industry that media and content creators need to be aware of today. Of course, I could have spoken about 360-Degree videos, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Lightfield Cinematography, 8K and beyond and so many other great innovations, but does any of that really matter? I ask this question because even though VR is super hot today (as 3D was super hot 2 years ago), we know what happens with technology, it c...

In this tutorial we'll take a video clip from Envato Market and transform it into a doodle-filled video inspired by Skrillex and Diplo's Where Are Ü Now with Justin Bieber. We'll extract frames from a video clip, purchased from VideoHive, in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, draw over them in Adobe Photoshop CC, and compile the images into a finished video in Adobe After Effects CC. Let's have fun and get doodling!
