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

When building a site that is course driven, you really have to plan very far ahead.   What might work for a few courses would fall apart with hundreds, and possibly thousands of titles. That’s where we’ve been at the past few weeks since we launched WalterBiscardi.com 2.0.  Carl and I have been designing and […]

FCP X Just Got It’s Big Break a Studio Feature

The largely controversial Final Cut Pro X may have just got the break that it needed so badly when news emerged a few days ago revealing FCP X is being used to edit a $100M upcoming studio feature. Although over the past year the controversy surrounding FCP X has largely died down as the software has improved immensely, most editors still haven’t given it a fair shot and have either stuck with FCP 7, moved to Premiere Pro, or in some rare cases have gone back to Avid. As it currently stands, t...

QUESTION 1: What pressure was there to be faithful to the classic American novel? Baz was acutely aware of the scrutiny that would be given to a “Baz Luhrmann” adaptation of “The Great Gatsby”.  Faithfully bringing the book to the screen was paramount to Baz and we were given every tool to help us do [...]

Aspect Ratio Mattes for 16:9 Projects

January 28, 2014, 01:45 PM

http://24p.com/wordpress/?p=159

This link will download a bin of preset Matte Effects of commonly used aspect ratios that can be added to the top layer of an HD sequence. Since HD was introduced in Media Composer, the preset aspect ratio mattes still assume a 4:3 source and were never updated for 16:9. These mattes were created and adjusted for a 16:9 aspect ratio. The bin was created in v6.5.4.1 and should be able to be opened in most versions of Media Composer. The mattes are as close as I can get based on the parameters ava...
