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

LINDSAY ROCKS EDIT FESTS NY AND LA 2012

November 15, 2012, 07:34 AM

One of the greatest benefits of the Fellowship is a pass to both of the ACE Edit Fests: one in NY (June 8-9, 2012) and the other in LA (Aug 3-4, 2012). Each consisted of two days of panels with film and TV editors. I'd never been to either one, but I immensely enjoy any sort of conference where people talk about their creative process.

A Bit More On BOSCPUG Meeting

November 15, 2012, 07:32 AM

http://notesonvideo.blogspot.ca/2012/11/a-bit-more...

I wrote about the Final Cut Pro X presentation at Tuesday nights BOSCPUG meeting, and completely left out a part of the meeting that was perhaps as educational as Abba Sahpiro's talk. Because in addition to that talk, several film makers talked about – and some even showed - their films at the event.

Ken Burns on the "Ken Burns Effect"

November 14, 2012, 09:20 PM

http://www.pbs.org/pov/blog/2012/11/ken-burns-on-t...

Ken Burns' name is eternally tied to the American historical documentary. Ask anyone what they think of when you mention his name, and they'll refer to the Ken Burns Effect, that technique he employs in all his films whereby the camera pans sideways over a photo and then zooms in. Accompanied by a charming musical score and folksy narration, the photo unarguably comes to life.

How do I delete the black from an Autosequence?

November 14, 2012, 09:05 PM

http://avidassteditor.com/2012/11/14/how-do-i-dele...

Autosequence automatically takes clips and puts them into a sequence at the timecode associated with the clips.  Removing the black (filler) from the sequence would move the clips from their correct timecodes. A better solution might be to select all of the clips in the bin and drag them to the timeline window.  In this...

Adobe CS6 DVi Workshop: Using Adobe Premiere Pro

November 14, 2012, 09:04 PM

http://www.dvinfo.net/article/post/adobe-cs6-dvi-w...

This Adobe CS6 tutorial by Pete Bauer of Contrail Media shows the round-trip process of taking a video clip through Adobe SpeedGrade that was deliberately shot at the wrong color temperature (i.e., a camera's white balance was set to daylight instead of tungsten), because color temperature is something that Premiere Pro's built in color correctors don't explicitly have, but SpeedGrade does. Rounding out the workshop is a demo of a simple audio noise clean-up with Adobe Audition.
