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

PFhoe is a relatively cheap and easy to use tracking application - great for those who want to begin their adventure with VFX. It provides a simple to use, intuitive interface - an environment even the most inexperienced user will get great results from. PFhoe allows to seamlessly combine a live action background shot with a computer-generated foreground element.

Something has been on mind lately and I wanted to talk to you about it. I'm talking to those of you out there who are trying to make something out of yourself. I'm speaking to those you out there who are just starting out, and those of who just got out of school and are about to face a massive looming student loan.

Many editors have come to rely on one-button filter presets to create their effects, but a lot can be done if you understand the tools that come with every NLE. Like early versions of Photoshop before layer effects were added, the building blocks are there – you just have to learn how to use them. Here are a few simple techniques you can use to spruce up your editing timelines.

The Avid AAF conforming workflow in action!

According to the producer Autodesk Smoke for Mac OS X combines the non-linear creative workflow of an editor with 3D visual effects and finishing tools. The result is the power to deliver today's best content fast – in a single, efficient creative application that fits the user's workflow. If you are using editors like Avid Media Composer and Apple Final Cut Pro 7, Smoke is designed to work with the same media and metadata as these editors.

Macromedia Final Cut. Fits a much younger man. I was tipped off at my first NAB in 1998 that Macromedia were showing their new NLE in a little room off the show floor, in among a maze of temporary rooms in the basement of the Sands Convention Center. It was the last demo of NAB.
