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

Euphonix has an Update

October 24, 2011, 03:57 PM

Euphonix has 3 control surfaces available for several software platforms (Avid Media Composer, Pro Tools, FCP, Logic, etc.). One extremely annoying feature of the MC Mix and MC Control is the faders slamming to the off position while working in a timeline. Well, a new firmware fix has been issued – although you’d never know...

Onlining RED with Avid Media Composer

If you're shooting with RED and don’t need/want a traditional conform to the 4K RAW files, you can follow Oliver Peters' excellent tutorial found here. He explains best practices for importing RED media for the offline edit and how to re-import and create a high-quality DNxHD 175X output. I'm in the middle of doing this...

Here's another week of some of the latest news on After Effects tutorials, plug-ins, scripts and more. It slowed slightly last week, but there’s plenty of news, tools, and tutorials to keep even the unemployed busy.

If you're anywhere near Boston this coming Thursday the 27th of October, then this is a must. The SuperMeet sets down camp in Massachusetts for the night with a pretty impressive presenter line up. What will Walter Murch think of Final Cut Pro X?

WEEK SIX AT THE EDIT CENTER

October 24, 2011, 10:24 AM

http://www.filmmakermagazine.com/news/2011/10/week...

On Monday we watch the famous fuck scene from The Wire. In the past I have seen this scene used as an example of great writing, great directing and great acting. It seems to be a quintessential teaching scene. If you don’t know what I am talking about, you can see it below.

Free FCPX BBC Specification title

You might have visited our growing list of free Final Cut Pro X effects on our Forum, but we thought this one was worth a special mention. A free BBC specification title and action safe layer, definitely worth a bookmark.

Avid Media Composer 6 Details Leaked

http://www.freshdv.com/2011/10/avid-mc6-leaked.htm...

Over at the Avid-L2 list, there are some details about Media Composer 6 that were accidentally (?) leaked by Avid. A lot of this info was previously known, no real bombshells here. Some features of interest to me were the AMA updates for AVCHD and ProRes.

Searching Effects

The Browser is searchable and so is the Effects tab. While we're on the subject of finding stuff did you know the Effects tab in the Browser is searchable as well?

Courageous on-line:

The first part of this article dealt with the capture, transcode, preparation and off-line edit of the feature film, Courageous, for which I was one of three editors. In this article I'll discuss the on-line process which primarily took place at PostWorks New York.

PsF's missing workflow Part 1

October 24, 2011, 10:05 AM

http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/atepper/sto...

Here in Part 1 of PsF's missing workflow, I'll define two new terms I'm introducing: benign PsF and malignant PsF. Fortunately, both Adobe Premiere CS5.5 and Apple Final Cut Pro X handle benign PsF (progressive segmented frame) automatically in the most desired way.
