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

A little while ago, I wrote an article that showed you the secrets of the new Keyer in Final Cut Pro 10.0.3. The technique shown there worked really well if you wanted perfect edges, but it had one flaw: the interior of the remaining subject could have been left a little darker than is ideal. Here, we'll look at how to use masking to get everything just right.

Is there gold in social video apps? Ever since Facebook paid USD1 billion for Instagram in April, people have been looking to video apps for the next breakout hit. Autodesk has put its bet on Socialcam, signing an agreement to acquire the iOS and Android app for approximately USD60 million. The deal will close in Autodesk's third quarter, so it will take place by October 31, 2012.

In our campaign to end bad audio in video productions, this new video tutorial is essential viewing. The audio compressor is a tool that must be mastered if your productions are to go anywhere near broadcast or you just want them to sound a hell of a lot better.

Despite the fact that it's 2012 and we're more than a decade into the digital revolution of high definition (and beyond) moving images, there is still a very narrow bottleneck that keeps digital shooters from getting everything they want. That bottleneck is data. The sheer amount of information that needs to be recorded from today's high-definition and cinema-definition cameras is staggering, and we don't—yet—have the technology to do so.

If you're a video editor or work with audio you've likely seen the word "codec" used before. You may have seen H.264, ProRes, DNxHD, and more. But what is a codec? To new editors, it's a long list of confusing terms. To veteran editors, it’s the difference between night and day. Hopefully, by the end...
