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

FREE FCP Plugin - Change font of multiple clips

August 5, 2010, 12:23 PM

Here’s a filter which uses the name of a clip’s reel to define which font to use when drawing text. It is a bit of a bodge, but it might save you a lot of time.

Editing and Life Transitions

What kinds of transitions do you make between scenes? Do you plunge right into the next scene with a smash cut or jump cut? Descend thoughtfully into it with a long dissolve or super? Or just plain cut? Chances are you’ve made all these kinds of transitions and many more as you’ve paced out scenes as well as individual edits.

If you were lucky enough to get your $349 in on time and secure your place at the event then it looks like you’re going to be in for a treat as scanning the itinerary for the event you see a lot of great editing names and a ton of shows and movies that the panelists have worked on.

Levels – Avid vs. FCP

August 4, 2010, 07:24 PM

http://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2010/08/04/level...

One of the frequent misconceptions between Avid and Final Cut editors involves video levels. Many argue that FCP does not work within the proper video level standards, which is incorrect. This belief stems from the fact that FCP is based on QuickTime and permits a mixture of consumer and professional codecs. QuickTime Player often changes a file’s...
