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

Everyone got in a good laugh about Cats during the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony Sunday night, but the Visual Effects Society had their claws out. The organization representing visual effects artists released a stern statement condemning the Oscars Cats segment, in which stars James Corden and Rebel Wilson poked fun at the Tom Hooper-directed big-budget catastrophe by dressing up as their characters from the film.

I have been covering Adobe Rush ever since it was in beta in June 2018. I really want to love it, but it’s hard when they keep screwing up the audio. In the video world, we have an absolute standard which means that the audio sampling must always be at 48 kHz (or some higher multiple), never at 44.1 kHz. Other iOS and Android apps handle this correctly, including Auphonic, Cinema FV–5, FiLMiC Pro, MoviePro and RØDE Reporter.

For a start, ‘Parasite’ wasn’t cut on Avid, which has dominated the Academy Awards of late. Indeed, in 2020 the vast majority of Oscar-nominated movies were cut on the software, but two that weren’t are well worth highlighting. ‘Parasite’ was cut on Final Cut Pro 7 and ‘The Irishman’ was cut on Lightworks.

I've seen dozens of videos sharing "Premiere Pro Secrets" online. While they are great tips for any Premiere Pro user, the unfortunate thing about most of the "secrets" is that they are quite obvious. Things like "you can display safe margins" or "you can create and attach proxy files." They're quite common to anyone who has worked with the program. So I decided to create a three part series of tips for anyone seeking more advanced techniques in Premiere Pro. Here's are 15 tips you may not alrea...

In the event you missed that story, let’s do a quick recap about Radeon Pro W5700 and then we’ll move on to Radeon Pro W5500.

One of the movies nominated for Best Visual Effects at the Academy Awards last night was Avengers: Endgame. It was the only Oscar nomination that the Marvel Studios blockbuster could muster, and considering the fact that nearly every single shot in the movie requires the use of visual effects, they certainly deserved it. But not every movie is perfect, and even though Avengers: Endgame has some truly incredible visual effects throughout, mistakes were made, and one of them is addressed in a new ...
