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

At first glance we think it just might be. Chunky transport buttons, an optically encoded jog wheel and two banks of assignably keys. We like.

By Chris Ryan I arrived in Amsterdam on Friday at 2pm and was at my usual IBC hotel, The Grand, by 3pm. The Grand was originally a convent built in the 1400s and it’s beautiful. After a quick refresher I went for a walk since the weather here is gorgeous, sunny and in the low […]The post Live from IBC, Day One: herring and a wish list appeared first on postPerspective - Randi Altman's postPerspective.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 Quick Tip: Missing Trim Short

September 14, 2014, 06:14 AM

http://www.fallenempiredigital.com/blog/2014/09/13...

After being locked in a dungeon on numerous Avid and Final Cut Pro projects, I’ve finally settled into spending some quality time with Premiere Pro CC 2014. Much to my surprise, it looks like the development team over at Adobe decided to remove the trim monitor panel shortcuts for “Focus Both Outgoing and Incoming”, “Focus on Incoming Side”, and “Focus on Outgoing Side”. After spending so much time with Media Composer’s trim mode, I started to hyperventilate thinking that Premier...

24p HD Restoration

September 13, 2014, 08:25 AM

http://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2014/09/13/24p-h...

There’s a lot of good film content that only lives on 4×3 SD 29.97 interlaced videotape masters. Certainly in many cases you can go back and retransfer the film to give it new life, but for many small filmmakers, the associated costs put that out of reach. Is there a way to get an acceptable […]

2014 IBC Sports Technology Blog

Will Ultra HD and 4K become a broadcast reality? That was one of the consistent themes at IBC as manufacturers and end users alike struggle with just how UHD becomes a reality within broadcast plants and in living rooms, what it means to product development, and how it can avoid the infamous burnout that 3D suffered when the industry tried to drive a format that could have used another year or two to mature before potential deployment.

Instant Wow: FilmStyles for FCP X

Here’s the thing. I love color grading. Like music, color has the power to change the way we feel about what we’re watching. But the reality is, most of the time I just need a quick fix to make the footage look awesome. Maybe I shot “flat” so I could have more control in post, or maybe...
