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

Adding a 3D LUT or colour lookup table for toning

Photoshop CS6 introduced a new adjustment layer called Colour Lookup. This new adjustment layer will allow you to add a 3D LUT to your Colour or Black and White image. Before we get into the how, let's explain the what, you are probably asking "What's a 3D LUT". In the film industry, 3D LUTs (or a 3D lookup table) are used to calculate a colour correction (also known as colour grading or sweetening...

Here is another great video from the last Supermeet. Michael Cioni from Light Iron talks about the future of post production. A really great talk! Highly recommended to watch. The sequence we love the most is about why there is no need for a new MacPro. Enjoy the video and, once again, big thanks to our friend Gert Kracht for posting it.

Batch Rename DSLR Footage for Premiere Pro...

September 13, 2012, 09:36 PM

Premiere Pro's ability to work with native formats is a real time saver. Indeed, for any editor who has spent long hours Logging and Transferring footage into Final Cut Pro, it's almost miraculous. But there are some down sides to the Premiere Pro native workflow, particularly when it comes to working with DSLR footage. Despite the time factor, the FCP Log and Transfer process gave you the ability to do two essential things...
