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

Will we be remixing and re-editing film classics ourselves in the future? The Slumdog Millionaire director thinks there's a distinct possibility. Danny Boyle, the Oscar-winning Brit whose last triumph was building Industrial Revolution-era chimneys inside a 21st-century sports stadium, popped up at SXSW this weekend. Enjoying a chinwag with Mashable, he talked up the use of technology in movies.

Avid Agility is my book covering all things Media Composer, designed to help both newbies and advanced editors get up to speed quickly and easily. The just-released third edition has been extensively rewritten and contains nearly 50 pages of additional material, including a new chapter on Script Integration and ScriptSync. It now focuses squarely on MC 6, and all illustrations reflect that version.

The latest software Avid and NewBlueFx is must have (and Must get someone else to pay!) There are two software packages available which are great tools to have in your editing room. Avid Media Composer (AMC) 6.5 is the update with which I would replace version 5.5. Updating software is always a tenuous proposition: you never know what has been broken until you make the upgrade...

I never intended to edit my own films. My “day job” is editing PSAs and corporate videos, so when it came time to direct my first feature, Easier with Practice, I realized I didn’t really know any editors—nor did I have the money to hire one. So I decided to edit it myself. Having no desire to be a multi-hyphenate, I edited it under a pseudonym: Fernando Collins.

Using the Time Displacement effect in Adobe After Effects, you can create some nifty video stutter effects without a great deal of effort, and without editing the footage whatsoever. In short, the playback timing of video can be altered using a greyscale displacement map. Black regions of the displacement map will show frames prior to the current position, 50% grey will have no effect, and white will show frames ahead of the current position.
