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

Here's a great keyboard shortcut that isn't just for the Browser. This keyboard shortcut jumps between tabs in any open window, not just the Browser. Press Shift+Command+[ (left square bracket) to move to the tab on the left.

Adobe Premiere - When the tool is the skill

I recently had a chance to produce some training videos and a DVD of a community theater project using Adobe Premiere. Previously, I'd been an iMovie sort of guy. I'd given up on finding a decent open source video editor, despite having a tweaked out Linux laptop that was ideally suited for video work (at least from a hardware perspective) and iMovie always did everything I wanted it to.

So I am back for round 2 of PluralEyes to see if it is any match for the sequence I have lined up for it. Now, I could sit here and twiddle my thumbs or launch into my thoughts about PluralEyes. (I'm all for multitasking, so you know what I am going to do.)
Compositing LCD Texture to Computer Screens in Aft

First off, if you haven't seen the documentary "Catfish" you really should rent it. It's a funny look at a quirky love story that developed over Facebook. Because a lot of the communication of that film happens with computer screens, they decided to do something cool to give it texture.
