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

I share why RHED Pixel has switched to Adobe Premiere Pro. Forgive the rough audio… but the content and the logic are good (especially if you've been sitting on the fence wondering where to go about your video editing needs).

Good job we have Mark Spencer and Steve Martin on hand to give us the answer, here is the latest edition of MacBreak Studio. One of the moans about the first version of Final Cut Pro X was the fact you couldn't apply a transition to a connected clip without making it into a secondary storyline first.

For those unfamiliar, chroma keying, or "green screening" as it’s often referred, is the process of stripping out a solid color from your video image (thereby creating an alpha channel) so that it can be overlayed on another image or background. Usually done with either a solid green or blue background, the quality of your key will depend on a range of factors including the on-set lighting setup...

Avid Media Composer 6 began shipping last week after being announced just under a month ago. The release has seen quite a bit of press as it was teased back in the summer and a large part of that tease was letting users know what they could expect when this version came along. I haven't had a chance to really pound MC6 as of yet since it just shipped but...
