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

Master Clips vs. Independent Clips

When you edit a clip from the Viewer, or Browser, into the Timeline, the editing process creates a relationship between the master clip in the Browser and the edited clip in the Timeline. Apple calls this edited clip an affiliate clip, which is related to the Browser clip based on four criteria...

In the second of 4 tutorials on basic multi-layered keying in Adobe After Effects using Keylight 1.2, Andrew Devis shows how to deal with light spill issues on separate parts of the keyed footage. Sometimes when you pull a key you have problems with light spill that cannot be resolved with a single key. In this tutorial, Andrew shows how to start to create multiple keys and layer them on top of each other for excellent results.

Enhance the look of your shot by adding a lens flare. motionVFX's mFlare plugin allows you to easily create and customize flares for your Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5 projects. After you've created a Motion project with the mFlare generator, you can edit the type of lens flare within mFlare's stand-alone application.

It's been close to three months since Final Cut Pro X came out, and I've been posting some initial thoughts on my blog (http://heathmcknight.com), and I wanted to write up some first impressions here regarding the setup of Final Cut Pro X, plus importing and organizing footage. I'll do another article on my first impressions of editing and exporting in the very near future.

Removing Subclip Limits

Since subclips don't really exist--they simply point to a portion of already existing source media on your hard disk--removing the limits of a subclip doesn't cause any media to be lost.

Workflow Tips

http://www.mikejones.tv/journal/2011/9/19/cross-pl...

If Workflow is the Answer, then it's one hell of a Question…! For a very long time post production workflow has been built upon consistencies - consistent delivery, consistent format, consistent platforms, consistent tools, consistent viewing environments. But then along came a veritable tsunami of digital detritus that washed ashore...
