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

Nothing says old and stylish like black and white. Go back in time with one mouse click. Looking to create retro black-and-white effect on your color images?

Okay, just a quick tip I worked out yesterday while I was trying to organize dailies for a documentary I am working on. The producer/directors had organized everything I needed to build out the Avid project on a hard drive: hours and hours of Quicktimes, all sorted out by subject or location.

A good script or compelling documentary subject is the beginning. Of course, having well composed, exposed and creatively shot visuals helps. And don't forget audio. Bad audio is a surefire way to lose your viewers. But it is the "look" that conveys the true feel of any piece.

(In French) Today I want to talk about a one-hour video made by the Apple reseller Tekserve based in New York. By Evan Schechtman, a user FCPX convinced, this video traces the history of post prod for FCP first name on the top of the family and then toured the new version by questioning the vengeance which was entitled FCPX on the net in his first weeks of life.

Red Giant Software is taking both a bundled and unbundled approach to its latest update of the Magic Bullet line of plug-ins. The Magic Bullet Suite consists of nine applications that can be bought separately or in the USD799 bundle. The bundle represents the best buy, since individually those packages would cost more than USD1,500. Included are Colorista II, Denoiser, Grinder, Instant HD, Looks 2, Mojo, Cosmo, PhotoLooks and Frames.

I was at an industry networking function this past week and had a conversation with a young woman who was interested in producing films. She had been working as a PA for about two years, and when she learned that I had previously been a cinematographer, she asked me...

I am very proud of how far Blender has gone. At this speed I can only imagine how much further they can go. Blender 3D is a free 3D app to create animations, compositing, games and modeling. It is an amazing tool! And it is FREE! What is Renderfarm.fi? feat. Big Buck Bunny...

About two months ago, Apple released Final Cut Pro X. Many editors purchased the app from the Mac App Store without hesitation. While some were happy with FCPX, others learned buying it wasn’t a smart decision. However, in a recent poll, I asked knowing what you know now about Final Cut X, would you still...

Wes James (AKA the NLE Ninja) has produced a set of nine tutorials wrapped up into a 40 minute video. No FCPX, no Motion, just layers, effects and rendering! Full credit to Wes for continuing with FCP7 whilst everyone around him seems to be kicking out FCPX tutorials. He seems to have hedged his bets slightly with Premiere and Avid ones coming up shortly!

Here's a fast way to preview anything at the position of the playhead. Press the backslash key located immediately above the Return key. Watch how the playhead backs up a few seconds, plays through the current location of the playhead, stops for a few seconds, then resets the playhead to its original position.
