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

Best Job Ever!

Hey folks – You may have noticed a slight slowdown in the blog a few weeks ago. That’s because we were having our company meeting in Portland . Since we were all together, Best Job Ever, a popular web series about the best jobs in the tech industry, sent the ever-engaging Veronica Belmont (host of Techzilla and whole lot more) to interview us about how a small, mostly-virtual company like Red Giant is able to make such an impact in our industry

This Reader Quicktip comes from Matthew Gilna in Los Angeles. He’s been working on a cool series called The LXD or League of Extraordinary Dancers. This Quicktip is a technique that he’s been using quite a lot on this series to create new synced clips when he has to sync video with separate audio.

Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter Cut The Social Network

February 15, 2011, 11:59 AM

http://www.moviemaker.com/editing/article/angus_wa...

Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter are having a good year. Their work editing David Fincher’s The Social Network garnered them both Oscar and Eddie nominations. And the film itself, in addition to being a front-runner come Oscar night, was a success with both audiences and critics. That might seem like a hard thing to accomplish with a movie that, on the surface, is about the founding of a Website. But The Social Network is less about writing computer code and drafting business plans than it is about....

Media Composer 5.5—You asked, we listened

February 15, 2011, 10:30 AM

http://www.videoguys.com/Blog/E/Media+Composer+55Y...

I’m on a plane, on my way to London, where Avid will launch the next release of the Media Composer family of editing systems at Broadcast Video Expo. I brought along some industry magazines, thinking the time between boarding and when they turn off the seatbelt sign could be used to catch up on what the "trades" are saying about the industry.

In Appreciation Of The Lowly Wipe

February 15, 2011, 09:16 AM

http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/cmg_blogs/s...

While editing Michele Yamazaki’s upcoming book on After Effects plug-ins, she reminded us of the classic, then-revolutionary video Cry by the English singer/songwriter/music video producer duo of Lol Creme and Kevin Godley. Created prior to the days of morphing software, it pushed the limits of what could be done with soft-edge wipes between carefully aligned shots, dropping more than one jaw as a result.
