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

What's Your Workspace?

Everyone has a different type of workspace when it comes to video editing. Some use big, powerful computers with 10 external hard drives. Others have a small computer that barely get’s by. What type of workspace do you have?

Imperceptible Impressions

I am a big fat geek. I know it. I don't mind it. I know this because I get excited by techie things that no one outside a small tiny circle of people could possibly care about, nonetheless comprehend. That doesn't make me exceptional or anything, as much as weird and dorky. Matrox released a Codec to the public that used to be proprietary to their hardware, which is what we edit with at work. I haven't been editing at home for close to 4 years now.

FCPX Motion Integration

If you take a very close look at the second part of Emmanuel Pampuri's recording of Apple's sneak peak of Final Cut Pro X, you'll see a few frames hinting at integration with Motion – or a much more advanced titling system...

London Launch of FCPX

Given that Apple have announced that Final Cut Pro will be available in June, will there be a special event to launch it, or will Apple once again use a third party event to make the official announcement?

Stability problems with Premiere CS 5.0?

At one of the sessions at the MIT Media in Translation conference, one of the speakers said that several people he knew who had switched to Premiere when 5.0 came out, were moving away from it due to problems with stability; long project load times, and random crashes.

The thirty-third episode of THE EDIT BAY is now available for download. This one is all about credits...or rather, the lack of them.

Bleach bypass, cross-process in AE

May 14, 2011, 09:56 AM

Cinematic-style picture looks have been popular for the last several years; for example bleach bypass became popular after Saving Private Ryan. Red Giant Magic Bullet Looks (released in 2007) has a powerful and pleasant interface designed to develop and control looks, but there are additional resources available to After Effects users still without access.

Last week’s installment of Hidden Gems on effects was so well received, we decided to break out of our normal one-chapter-a-week rhythm this week, and instead provide some more resources on using effects.

Ever since I got permission from Avid to use their screenshots last week, I have been working on the book non-stop (including a lost weekend at the computer with breaks only for eating, sleeping, and occasionally petting the dog) putting the finishing touches on it and getting it ready for self-publication.
