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

Why 2D to 3D Conversion is Good for the Industry

2D to 3D has received a lot of bad press lately. But with the industry plowing forward with a slew of new 3D productions, I think it's time we look at the bigger picture, and how 2D to 3D conversion technology will play a bigger role than many may think.

What should Apple do with Final Cut Pro?

Writing applications is in some ways similar to building a house. There’s usually an initial plan, often with stages to be added in future releases planned from the start. (I once asked a Digital Production BuZZ guest, around the time of FCP 4.5, if everything from their original wish list was in Final Cut Pro: response, nowhere near all!) However, over time, additions get added on; another "room" here, another one there.

The film screened opening night of the New York Film Festival, September 24, and opens nationally October 1, through Columbia Pictures.

September 27, 2010, 05:01 PM

http://www.cgw.com/Publications/CGW/2010/Volume-33...

In April, Adobe updated its Creative Suite 5 (CS5). Every Creative Suite update is a massive undertaking for Adobe, because every one of its core products gets updated—from the venerable Photoshop to Web design software such as Dreamweaver and Flash, to graphic design products such as Illustrator and InDesign, to video products such as After Effects and Premiere Pro. This creates a lot of new features in a lot of different packages, so this review will focus on Photoshop, After Effects...

Adobe’s CS Review Access in Premiere Pro CS5

September 27, 2010, 04:54 PM

Well here’s something I wasn’t aware of: Adobe’s online review and approval portal CS Review supports your editing sequences for review and approval right out of Premiere Pro CS5, via the CS Live button. This video popped up the other day and is a quick rundown on exactly how the process works. Basically it’s a way to encode, upload, have people view and comment and then get those review comments downloaded right into Premiere Pro CS5....
