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

Cutting Women: Margaret Booth and Hollywood’s Pi

In 1926, the Los Angeles Times informed readers that “one of the most important positions in the motion-picture industry is held almost entirely by women” whose job it was to assemble “thousands of feet of film so that it tells an interesting story in the most straightforward manner” (B7). Assembling reels and cutting negatives was tedious work that often fell to young working-class women. However, out of the ranks of these film joiners and negative cutters emerged a handful of women who...

The Sennheiser AVX MKE-2 Pro System is a new digital wireless sound system, that takes over from the trusty EW100-G3 wireless sound package which is used by many producers, sound engineers and in television across the globe. The transmitter and receiver packs have been re-designed, removing the cable aerial and making the receiver much smaller; more practical for on camera use or smaller setups (using a DSLR for example).

Getting Started With Media 100 - Pt 8: Bins Pt 2

By default, your clips are probably laid out in the smallest thumbnail view, which for me, is not how I like to work. I prefer working in list view, but if you prefer working in thumbnail view, but don’t like the size of the thumbnails, you can change them, and switch to List view, simply by right clicking in the bin window, and selecting either the larger thumbnail, or List view.

In 2015, we published our first feature article in celebration of International Women’s Day entitled 10 Women of Title Design, and this year we’re back with 10 more!We recognize that many creative industries are dominated by men, and we are striving to both acknowledge this inequity and to work towards more balanced representation.

Boris Continuum Complete 10 Review

https://library.creativecow.net/biscardi_walter/bo...
I still remember meeting a guy named Boris at the 1995 Apple MacWorld in Boston. Jeans and a white T-Shirt, he was in the booth all by himself with his brand new product. Boris FX that ran on the awesome Media 100 platform. He was hilarious and I bought the plug-in on the spot for my corporate job. Now here we are 21 years later and while much of the post production industry has changed, Boris FX is still making lives easier for editors and motion graphic artists.
