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

In After Effects, I will show you how to use high pass sharpening just like in Photoshop. We will essentially be selective sharpening our footage without tracking a single mask. By finding the edges in our shot, we can use that as a matte to determine which sections should be sharpened.

I just dug this up the other day and already made good use of it. Hexagon Grid Creator is a small MEL script in Maya that will create hexagons and hexagon patterns.

How many times have you used multiple audio clips in the Maya Trax editor as scratch audio, or a guide to animate from, only to find that only one of them will show up in a play blast? It is beyond frustrating, and has been a problem in Maya for as long as I can remember.

Mikey Borup shares his preset he created for After Effects that kind of acts like the Photoshop Magic Wand or Quick Selection Tool. The Magic Wand Tool for After Effects can easily “select” and knock out specified areas of your After Effects Layer.

Pedro Bellini walks through the process of creating a manual aim set up in Maya, using the Maya Python API. Using only math operations and the Maya Python API, Pedro creates a similar set up to the Maya default Aim Constraint. Using the same techniques that are revealed in the tutorial, you should easily be able to create your own DG Aim Node for Maya.

The commander in Cinema 4D will allow you to create any type of object in C4d, simply by typing. This can be a huge workflow change, saving time in searching and clicking to create elements in your scene. The one issue with the Commander, is that it can’t create Xpresso nodes. If you are the nerdy type and like to use expressions in most everything you do, then the QCmds plugin is for you.
