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

Working with After Effects weekly, you may be in a rhythm of using the software and your favorite features, but you may be missing some of the real power the software provides. Here are some power tips for getting the most out of the Effects controls of AE CS5.

There’s a quiet gathering in Palm Springs every February. Many of the post-production industry’s leading luminaries, along with a gaggle of production folks, hangers-on, and ne’er-do-wells (including your correspondent) assemble for the Hollywood Post Alliance’s Tech Retreat, three and a half days of discussion about where the industry is and where it’s going.

My editing user settings are constantly evolving. One things that changes a lot are the bin column layouts that I recall for various editing tasks. I use many different columns for both Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro. I very often resize columns and add or remove headings to saved layouts. Rather than always save a new heading or repeatedly change the same saved layout over and over I will save and overwrite an existing column layout.

The other day, when the new X-Men movie trailer went live, I emailed Eddie Hamilton for his comments. Those of you follow my blog will know that Eddie is a close friend and contributor to the many things that we do. He is also editor on the new X-men film, 'X-Men: First Class'.

With its sleek black face, glowing video screens, and Darth Vaderesque controls, the device could easily be mistaken for a prop in yet another sequel to Star Wars. In fact, it springs from the fertile imagination of George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars trilogy, who calls it EditDroid. As connoisseurs of Lucas's movies know, 'droids - short for android, a word with Greek roots meaning automaton with a humanlike form - are the playful robots that populate his highly successful space operas.

So NAB is rapidly approaching and as par for the course, we know nothing about Apple's plans for the event. We know they don't have a booth planned but will they announce anything at all? Last year we had a completely underwhelming (you might say embarrassing) presentation by Apple at the SuperMeet. What will we see / hear this year?
