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

Autodesk Flame turns 20

November 6, 2012, 10:03 AM

http://gfxspeak.com/2012/10/30/autodesk-flame-turn...

In 1992 a small company named Discreet Logic introduced a new software tool for creating visual special effects for film and TV. Created by Gary Tregaskis, it was originally named Flash, later changed to Flame. It didn't take long for the industry to warm up to the new software; "Super Mario Bros." was the first movie to use Flame a few months later. Not long after, Flame introduced 3D compositing, allowing video artists to composite on one layer in 3D that included lights, displacement...

I am so looking forward to editing like the in the Minority Report. If FCPX has doubled the speed of my editing I can only imagine being able to edit with both hands at the same time. I guess I will just have to wait and see. Leap Motion.

FINAL CUT PRO X 10.0.6

November 5, 2012, 04:18 PM

http://www.verticalonline.com/final-cut-pro-x-vers...

Thanks Apple. This is the BIG one that I've been patiently waiting for. Apple have released the next version of Final Cut (10.0.6) and I couldn't be more excited about this update. Seriously, this is huge. I've been an editor for almost 20 years now and I'm more excited about the 10.0.6 release than any piece of software I can remember.
