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

Since we released After Effects CC (12.2), we have found some bugs. We are working on fixing these bugs, of course, and we’ll be releasing a bug-fix update soon (within a couple of weeks if all goes well) that addresses many of them. Stay tuned to this blog for details of the upcoming bug-fix update. In the meantime, we wanted to make sure that you knew of these issues and how to work around them. Dragging a folder of source items into the Project panel does not import the source items. T...

It's the Friday before the Super Bowl and while most of the conversation this week is Super Bowl related we still have some movie stuff to chatter about for around 100 minutes including a review of That Awkward Moment where we're joined by Kevin Jagernauth from The Playlist. Then we discuss the story of the Academy rescinding the nomination for "Alone Yet Not Alone" and Oscar lobbying in general, play some games, answer some questions and discuss a change coming to the podcast later this year.

Getting more requests for demonstrating some exterior techniques, and there’s no better way for using pre-made 3Ds Max VRay presets. The are verity of different ways for setting up your Exterior lighting, however I have found quite few times, that the “basics” can deliver the “message” in better way by bribing “focus” on the architectural object and not the environment.
