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

Workarounds for when effects aren't working the way you expect with Track Mattes. As we mentioned earlier, we're creating a video training series based on our popular beginner's book After Effects Apprentice, which progresses from I haven't used it before through core skills including keyframing, masking, text animation, and 3D space to advanced techniques such as motion tracking, green screen, and expressions.

Importing is a way of life for After Effects users, but sometimes we end up taking the long road without even realizing it. In this Quick Tip, Kevin P McAuliffe shows you how to handle image sequences, so they are easier to work with in your AE projects.

I don't usually re-post the content of others on this site but occasionally I come across a gem that's so in the nerd spirit of Negative Spaces that I feel obliged. Art Adams, author of the supremely useful technical blog, Stunning Good Looks, shares some thoughts on how a DSC labs Chroma du Monde chart works with your video camera's color matrix. Probably the most succinct and understandable explanation of video color response yet.

Importing clips into Avid's Media Composer might seem straight forward, but what if a client has sent you a Targa sequence? Don't over think the import process, as importing Targa sequences is just as easy as regular clips.

As James points out, this filter is simpler than the Foam filter in AE, and that can make for easier control despite limitations. He shows to to get a variety of looks, including one similar to Harry Franks' Rippling Circles that uses Ball Action.

The biggest buzz at NAB by far has been the anticipation of Apple's sneak peek at Final Cut X. Nobody seemed to care about the missing Final Cut Pro 8 or 9 as they camped outside the Super Meet for hours trying to get their place in line or buying or selling tickets. It certainly seemed more and more like a Bruce Springsteen concert than a computer user group meeting, with scalpers trying to get 100 for the sold-out show.

Editors are always being asked to do more in less time. But the answer isn't to just work faster; we need to find ways to work more efficiently. Sure It helps us meet deadlines, but more importantly, working efficiently gives us more time for creative exploration.
