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

The Track Matte Moment is now an international sensation with this fabulous moment from Canadian editor Gordon Burkell. In this TMM, Gordon tells us about his first feature as an editor, the giant fuck-up it turned out to be, and how it all became a great jumping off point to some great relationships and stories...

Final Cut Pro X 10.0.6 introduces Dual Viewers. We have the original Viewer as always. But we now have an Event Browser Viewer. This viewer window is specific to media in the Event Browser and is pretty nice. Let’s go through it briefly.

Are the new iMacs good enough for video editing?

November 29, 2012, 02:53 PM

http://www.postmagazine.com/Post-Blog/2012/Novembe...

In the past, the sheer horsepower of our computers was far less, so much so, that most computers could only play back video using smaller image sizes or lower frame rates. (Anyone remember watching computer videos that were 320x240? I remember building a business where the only videos we could create were that size.)

Here's a detailed Adobe CS5.5 Premiere workflow example I recorded with Vincent Laforet. He's been using over the past few months with solid success with both Canon HDSLR footage and RED Epic footage. It shows Dynamic linking with After Effects as well as REDCine X.

Mocha Pro 3.1: Free update

November 29, 2012, 08:31 AM

http://www.redsharknews.com/post/item/251-mocha-pr...

Mocha Pro 3.1 is a free update of this planar tracking and rotoscoping software. (What "planar" means is that it can track whole surfaces and not just points - so if a "surface" moves partly out of sight, it is still tracked, whereas if just the corners of the shape were being tracked, it could be lost if any of the points were to be obscured).
