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

We’re going through our book Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects 5th Edition (CMG5) and pulling out a few "hidden gems" from each chapter. These will include essential advice for new users, plus timesaving tips that experienced users may not be aware of.

On some possessions we place priceless sentimental value. We can't imagine living without them. But beauty can be in the eye of the beholder, as is the case in this short film about a guy and a shirt, called The Rock Shirt (<-- watch in glorious HD at this link, or embedded below).

Terence and Philip start discussing the tape shortage crisis – particularly HDCAM SR – caused by the situation in Japan: is tape dead, or will it merely lead to a resurgence of D5? Who’s accepting file-based delivery, is that even practical, and who gets to drive the need for tape delivery?

Sometimes a plan works. In my last blog I described a technique to force myself to get things done by setting a self imposed embargo on the fun narrative work until the various day job and TV work is completed. So far, so good. I’m now 75% done with another episode of FRAMELINES, caught up on outstanding day job work, and well on my way to getting to the personal project.

Last year Blackmagic Design brought in its showstopper: DaVinci Resolve on the Mac for $1,000. No one expects that type of repeat performance at this year's NAB Show, but as the early tips come trickling in, this year is still shaping up to be pretty awesome.

CalDigit has a established a reputation as a supplier of high-quality, high-performance RAID arrays that are ideally suited for editing HD video footage. Now CalDigit has moved into the space dominated by LaCie, Maxtor and G-Technology—that of the smaller desktop drives. CalDigit's entry is the AV Drive, which consists of a single 1TB or 2TB drive mechanism housed in a slim aluminum case.

If you cut long-form projects, then markers in Apple Final Cut Pro or locators in Avid Media Composer are an essential tool. This is one of the subtle yet workflow-changing improvements Apple made in FCP7. The developers added the ripple feature to markers, which allows timeline markers to stay pegged with the relevant clip on the timeline as you insert of delete other clips. It’s a feature that had been in Media Composer since the beginning of locators, but was a welcome change to Final Cut.

Videoguys now carries Glyph's new portable RAID-protected storage device, the PortaGig 62 . Modeled after Glyph’s successful GT 062E, a larger desktop RAID, the 1/2/3TB PortaGig 62 has two 5400RPM drives inside, and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. A quiet internal fan provides maximum airflow and proper cooling - critical to the performance and reliability of the components.
