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 Differences Between Adobe CS6 and CS5.5

Adobe has just unveiled Creative Suite 6 – and one of the upgrade questions people are asking is what's new, what's different, what's changed in CS6 as compared to previous version(s)? Adobe calls it, a killer release with hundreds of new capabilities rolling up four focus areas: application performance, enhanced user interface, efficient development for multiple devices, and making previously impossible things possible.

This year I witnessed an honest world shaking shift. Yep, 2012 became the year of the world changing from the way we know it, and I could see it happening right before my eyes at NAB 2012 in AJA's booth. I worked in AJA's booth for the entire show, and heard from the whole post and production community there.

Adobe CS6 preview: After Effects

With Photoshop, Adobe eventually dipped a toe into the waters of 3D, and now it's After Effects' turn to follow suit. There are new features to address that, such as the 3D Camera Tracker. This takes regular 2D footage and extracts the position of the camera that captured it as well as the characteristics of the lens used.

Adobe CS6 preview: Premiere Pro

Premiere Pro CS6 has a new interface that gives over the top part of the screen to the Source and Program monitors. The amount of buttons has been reduced drastically – though you can add back some or all of them. The Project panel has 16:9 scrubbable thumbnails, to which you can add trim marks.

Adobe CS6 new pricing model

I think I have got this right! Instead of buying Adobe’s production suite software outright, you can now licence the entire suite on a monthly basis, choosing either a year long renewable contract or a month by month contract. If you already have a CS3 or higher product there is a reduced subscription rate. So now for just USD49 a month (USD29 if you already have a CS3 or higher licence)...

Instant Gratification

Closure. Its a simple enough idea, but it doesn't always come when or how we expect. As an editor and as a filmmaker, it's an idea I've been wrestling with for a while. You invest yourself in a certain story for years, but when is it time to close the book and move onto the next project?
