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

Edit Timelapse: Surreal New Music Video Is Cut fro

For the past week, Kendrick Lamar's latest music video has been taking the internet by storm, and for good reason. For starters, it provides a timely response to the culture of police brutality that has spewed to the surface of popular awareness in the past year. From an artistic perspective, however, the video itself is a masterpiece. Shot in stunning high-contrast black and white by cinematographers Rob Witt and Corey Jennings, and directed by rising star director Colin Tilley, the music video...

VariCam Live Color Grading: Camera Setup (Part 1)

One of the great features of the Panasonic VariCam 35 is its built in color management. The camera can record in VariCam Log while applying look up tables (LUTs) to all outputs, including the viewfinder. The camera can load in both 3D LUTs for full color adjustment, as well as CDLs (Color Decision Lists) for basic Lift, Gamma, Gain and Saturation adjustments. While these LUTs and CDL files can be loaded in via an SD card, what really makes this camera unique is that it can also be live graded.

Premiere Pro Morph Cut: Video Editing Wizardry or

Back in 2010, Adobe released an feature in Photoshop CS5 that will would “magically” remove unwanted parts of an image. By analyzing the content of the image, the content aware fill tool would “make a best guess” on what the object would have looked like if the unwanted area never existed. It still exists in current versions of Photoshop, and while it has been improved over the years, it’s not a perfect tool. The recently released morph cut for Premiere Pro works on a similar level:
