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

AVID UPS THE ANTE IN AMSTERDAM

At the IBC Conference and Exhibition, which opened September 10 in Amsterdam, Avid announced the release of new versions of Media Composer 4.0, Symphony 4.0 and Avid NewsCutter 8.0. The company also announced the release of Interplay 2.0, Avid’s production and asset management system for post-production and broadcast production facilities, first introduced in 2006. Across the board, workgroup capabilities for all products have been extended to Avid’s Wide Area Network (WAN), allowing...
MC4 rolls out, properly mixed frame rates possible

Avid has continued on their path of regular, usable, functional updates for their popular editor Avid Media Composer. Last week at IBC Avid surprised many when they rolled out version 4.0. Is this version (to use a tired cliche when talking about software upgrades) a revolutionary upgrade or just an evolutionary update? I think it depends on who you ask or what your needs are.

An Introduction to Transition Preservation

Media Composer 4 introduces Transition Preservation, Avid’s term for a group of enhancements that improve the handling of dissolves during editing. It’s one of those features that’s so intuitive that it immediately feels like you’ve been using it for years — and then you wonder how you did without it for so long. It’s all about timeline dynamics, and that makes it difficult to explain in words. So I’ve posted a video that explains it.
AVID 4.0 IS OUT!

Man...what is UP with Avid lately? Three major releases of the software in just one year? And all with major feature enhancements. OH...and all with a very low upgrade cost...$350. It wasn’t 5 years ago that upgrades were 1-2 years apart, and cost thousands of dollars.

I need a hobby. Well, an inexpensive one. I really want to get into cycling and get a road bike, or get one of those single gear really LIGHT ones but then I have to shell out cash for a bicycle and all the extras. But then I’d be shape at least.
Automatic Duck Unveils Something Very New at IBC

My good friends at Automatic Duck have been churning out timeline translation tools for editors for many, many years now - in fact, any one who edits on multiple editing platforms knows very well what the Duck brings to the table. If you need to move your content back and forth between Avid, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, you know the nightmare that can be. And you also know by know the sanity-restoring qualities of Automatic Duck.

From fxguide – BlackMagic buys da Vinci
September 8, 2009, 06:26 PM

Word on a big sale in the post-production industry seems to have broken Labor Day evening that Blackmagic Design is buying da Vinci. Most everyone in post has heard of Blackmagic Design (their convertors and capture cards like the DeckLink and Intensity or the new UltraScope) but I’m often surprised how many are not familiar with da Vinci. da Vinci makes high end color grading and film restoration systems.
