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

The pictures don't really do the Little Big Disk justice, it is tiny. It is also super fast having a write speed of 300MB/s and a read spead of 500MB/s. That's six times faster than Firewire 800. LaCie announced that the unit will be shipping in about two weeks, price for the SSD model will be over 1,000 dollars.

After Effects Script of the Week: pt ExpressEdit

September 9, 2011, 03:06 PM

http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/mchristians...

Expressions are among the most powerful additions you can make to your After Effects game. They are also fragile; set up 4 dozen staggered dependency layers to create a pattern form and then somehow delete the layer they point to, even for a moment, and all of the expressions are reset. And making a fix that applies to each of those layers can be the very definition of tedious.

The Foundry has just unveiled HIERO, a new workflow manager that essentially gives NUKE its own timeline and lets users conform EDLS and distribute effects jobs to NUKE artists without having to write custom scripts or input clips manually. It is aimed at VFX facilities with multiple NUKE seats that want to minimize costly infrastructure updates to manage shot distribution and free up workstations for critical effects work.

Do the Engineers at DaVinci Ever Sleep?

It seems like just yesterday that DaVinci released version 8.0.1 with its new color balance control interface, and DaVinci Lite, a free 2-node and HD-limited version. But, not content to rest on their laurels, DaVinci has eliminated a decimal place and announced DaVinci Resolve 8.1, with even more feature enhancements. Most are subtle, but welcome additions to a variety of users.

Robuskey keyer now available for FCPX

This one took a bit of research, probably because Japanese isn't our strong point! ISP have ported their high quality blue/green screen keyer to Final Cut Pro X, not forgetting that it still works in FCP7.
