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

FCP X 10.1: Archiving Revisited

April 12, 2014, 06:33 PM

http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/final-cut/fcp-x-101...

While we tackled this topic just a few months ago, FCP X 10.1 has forced a second look at archiving and backup strategies. There’s the new library structure, the new ability to work with external media, the new automatic backups, and the new way which FCP X handles files on external disks to think about. Let’s take another look.

It’s no secret that Maya’s UV tools have been in need of a major overhaul over the last few year. It is with Maya 2015 that forges some new life into the UV workflows that were long forgotten by Autodesk and tended to by scriptures and third party developers. Maya 2015 is the largest release in the UV editor area in recent memory.

Quincy Gardner shares a quick tip for using a high pass filter effect that will allow you to selectively sharpen areas of your shot in After Effects. Photoshop has a high pass filter readily available, but there is nothing similar in Ae, however that doesn’t stop you from being able to make your own with some of Ae’s available tools.

Avid Assistant Editor Workshop

http://events.creativecow.net/event/3540/avid-assi...

The job of the assistant editor has never been so tough. Assistants are expected to handle a dizzying array of tasks including how to ingest a myriad range of file formats and codecs, Sync and group multiple cameras, prep for export and on-line and of course, organize, organize, organize. Assistants are often expected to know everything from “why did my computer crash” to “why can’t I AMA link my 5D footage” to “where are my are keys?!”.
