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

This is the fifth of several episodes covering a workflow for using Red Digital Cinema Cameras with your Avid editing application.

It’s free, it’s easy and it’s fast. So you better check this out.

Importance of Knowing FCP and Avid

If you follow my Twitter feed, you will note that I landed a new job. This new job will be a History Channel two hour special, and I will be using an Avid Adrenaline (v2.7.7) to edit. Now, while I am a HUGE FCP advocate and known world wide as an FCP editor and expert...

Editing Multicam Shot in 5D Canon

It’s no secret that Canon 5Ds are everywhere. They’ve shot music videos, short films, commercials and more Vimeo videos than anyone can imagine. One place where I haven’t heard about a lot of usage (as of yet anyway) is in multicamera concert production.

Here is a great tutorial from CineForm's CTO, David Newman, on how to get started with editing in 3D using Neo3D. Take a look:

Canon EOS Firmware and FCP Plugin

March 3, 2010, 11:37 AM

http://www.freshdv.com/2010/03/canon-eos-for-video...

First, Canon announced a BETA availability date for their EOS Log and Transfer plugin for Final Cut Pro. Well, not a specific date, but sometime in March. This software product will be made freely available for DSLR video users and enables simple and straightforward acquisition of footage from CF cards via Log and Transfer, just like you would with P2, XDCAM, Red, etc.

Why Should You Care About 24p?

March 3, 2010, 11:36 AM

http://www.freshdv.com/2010/03/why-should-you-care...

The Canon 5D MKII 24p update was just announced, and people are flipping out. Now, many people have been using the 5D for video at 30fps (and conforming it to 29.97), and others have been using Twixtor (check the comments) and other tools to conform it to 24p.

Changes to a Cut AFTER Online!

March 3, 2010, 11:36 AM

http://lfhd.net/2010/03/02/changes-to-a-cut-after-...

So, that project that I took from FCP and converted to Avid, you know, this, this and this one? Well, after sending off three of five masters, we got notes back. Not QC (quality check) notes like one would expect, but some more online notes like "blur this more, blur that...and blur that," and "the graphics are the old ones, please replace with the new ones, link below, and the font needs to change as well."

Here is the performance and story edit of NINA. There is no color correction and still some temp camera audio, and obviously, no sound design or mixing. That phase is next.

Final Cutters Site

March 2, 2010, 11:31 AM

http://www.studiodaily.com/blog/?p=2750

If you were looking for a single web destination that is a clearing house for all things Final Cut Pro then FinalCutters has to be that destination. It’s attempting to do what seems like the near impossible and pull together news, blog posts, photos, Twitter tweets, user reviews and ratings and build a community right there at the site.

Winter Olympics Editing Porn

Here’s a great piece of editor porn that popped up on Twitter from Alan Dennison. Watch only if you’re an editor. (And of age) Otherwise you probably won’t care.
