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

In After Effects CC 2014 (13.0), we added a couple of new effects for cleaning up mattes created with color keying effects: The Key Cleaner effect recovers detail from a scene keyed by a typical keying effect, including recovering detail from a keyed scene with compression artifacts. The Advanced Spill Suppressor effect removes color spill on a foreground subject from a colored background used for color keying. The Key Cleaner and Advanced Spill Suppressor effects are intended to be use...

SIGGRAPH 2015 Report: Day 2 & 3

Things have been heating up since my last blog post. The exhibition doors have been thrown wide open and hungry students are claiming free Pixar teapots, cloth bags, miniature Snickers bars and tissues from the booths. There is definitely a bigger buzz today. My intention was to go to the VR Village talk but it was jammed packed and I couldn’t get in. Nevertheless I had a fantastic day with some very interesting moments.

After a fantastic Siggraph 2014 in Vancouver, I was looking forward to seeing what Los Angeles could deliver. The last time I was here for Siggraph was in 2008 and I remember it well because Softimage held a legendary party involving Vanilla Ice and Ron Jeremy.
