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

Pomfort LiveGrade Beta

It's a nice interface and I love the 3 Wheel controls and the ability to shape an actual curve. Once it works it will be great! There aren't any menus or advanced functionality so when you a run a video signal through the box connected to LiveGrade and it behaves very strangely, there isn't any place to begin troubleshooting. But - what happens looks so awesomely psychedelic, I could stare at it for hours!

Late nights reconciling random shots...

When Matt Davis came across the PluralEyes plug-in, he recognized it would enable his guerilla style of shooting by allowing "some really smart software to sort it all out." Matt explains, "All the key opinion leaders were onto PluralEyes from the start as the one way that made DSLR shooting with audio "a workable solution". Clapperboards? Log sheets?

Made with After Effects

In what is become an annual tradition, the good folks over at motion.tv run a Made with After Effects competition. We participate in critiquing the entries, including pointing out the strong points as well as sharing our years of experience in suggesting ways to improve the work even further. The resulting discussion - as well as viewing the winners - is something we think is educational for all users looking to raise their game.

Is "WeVideo" Right for You?

December 16, 2011, 03:39 PM

WeVideo gives you most of the tools of a desktop editor, performs quickly, and lets you work collaboratively. But does it have enough features for serious video editing? While the desktop video editing market has consolidated into the big four (Adobe, Apple, Avid, and Sony), it's still the wild, wild west in the browser-based online video editing market.

After Effects CS5.5.1: no auto update

Sure, Todd Kopriva said "This update is not available through the automatic update mechanism" in his notice on the After Effects CS5.5.1 update. For at least a few of us though, this update fell through the cracks, as we assumed that automatic update would happen eventually through Adobe Application Manager.
