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

The First Six Months

Postworld went live on November 23, 2009, which means that it’s now a bit over six months old. I suppose that’s enough of a milestone to take some stock of what it’s meant both to me as your host, and to you as my guests.

MC5 Review... SOON!

I’ve just received a copy of Avid Media Composer 5.0 – it’s a bit like Christmas! I’ve had a chance to try some of the big new features – AMA linking to RAW RED media and Canon DSLR clips, but it’s going to take me a while to dig right into the new features – I may even have to read the manual!

Fix FCP's Media Management

Media management has long been considered Apple Final Cut Pro’s Achilles’ Heel. In reality, FCP has gotten better in this regard and does a pretty decent job of linking project master clips to media.

Gone Phishin', Stereo Workflow and FCP

When Action 3D Productions hired an editor to cut the concert film Phish 3D, it made sense that they’d go to Don Wilson's Americana Media. Wilson is an Emmy-winning producer-director-editor whose experience in the industry stretches back to the early days of MTV, when he was cutting promo clips for any number of top-tier acts.

"This is not Media Composer," says Avid senior product designer Frank Capria. "I could be anywhere. All the media you’re going to see is in Tewksbury. You just clone it." The Avid system is so quick and looks so much like Media Composer that Capria has to explain to the audience that the video he’s editing is actually being edited thousands of miles away and streaming back.

Avid, Kick Ass and the Editing Room

It’s obvious when talking to Hamilton that he’s as passionate about technology as he is about storytelling. "I love the technology," he says. "My first love is editing a scene—after all, a film is written on the page and rewritten in the edits—but I also love working on intricate visual effects, or building a theatrical sound track."

CS5 with FCP and MC

Since so many industry professionals typically use a variety of production and post-production tools on virtually every project, it’s really important to move media and sequences between tools seamlessly.

Audio Timewarp

Everybody knows the Timewarp only applies to video. But what if you want to change the speed of your audio as well? In this episode, we’ll do just that with the help of a couple of different AudioSuite plugins that come with Media Composer.

Avid Embracing Third Party Hardware?

May 27, 2010, 05:08 PM

http://dylanreeve.com/videotv/2010/avid-embracing-...

What this seems to suggest is that the hardware barrier is soon to fall. One of the most common criticisms of Avid’s systems in the last few years has been the cost of proprietary hardware, while Final Cut Pro and Premiere have been supporting a wide range of low-cost I/O hardware.

Cutting in Footage From Another Sequence

OK...this is something that "Avid Editors" brag about all the time. They can load a sequence into the Viewer, and then click a toggle that will then show them that sequence on the timeline. The PROGRAM (or Canvas for you FCP peeps) timeline is replaced by the PREVIEW (or Viewer) sequence...
